Today Jim came to talk to me. He asked if I heard the rumour about people who would get to go to Kansas City for the Chinese Project. I said, no, I didn’t hear anything. In fact I knew something. Tom mentioned that he might send me to meet with the project team, but I wasn’t in the mood to talk with Jim. (I usually am not in the mood for talking to Jim, I feel that he is not on the same beat as mine.)
Despite the fact that I said I never heard anything, he kept on talking. He mentioned the names of lead electrical and lead civil engineers who he heard about going to KC soon. I acknowledged that by nodding, but not commenting or adding anything. So he said, he heard I would be going too, for mechanical.
I thought he wanted me to show some enthusiasm about this fact, but I didn’t. He mentioned that he hoped the trip would happen on the week that he is in KC (he will be on home leave week after next). He said he wanted to hook up with them (or us, if I got to too.)
I wasn’t excited. I didn’t want to hook up with him. I never hook up with him while he is here. Not even once. So, why would I want to hookup with him over there? But I didn't say it. Thought it would be too harsh.
I felt a bit relieved to know that there will be more than just me going. Not that I am worried about travelling alone (in fact I prefer travelling alone), but I would feel awkward as it might look like I got to go because I was Tom’s favourite. If he sends the lead engineers from all discipline there, it will be less uncomfortable. He sends the lead engineers, and I happen to be one for mechanical.
