"Stefan, I know you find this awkward, but I cannot emphasise enough how important your work will be to the cancer ward, and to the lives of countless...women."You have been programming the Taubett interferometer for longer than anyone, and I can see that you've been able to produce some beautiful data, despite the complexity of the phase recovery problem."If we are to analyse the lingering effects of a worm infection, we will need your image processing expertise to get the highest-quality. After dad and Janet left, I turned towards my brother. Jackwas a year and a half younger than me, and the runt of thefamily. He was only five feet tall, a foot shorter than me.Jack was even 2 inches shorter than Melanie, and she wasonly 10 years old."Unbelievable! Un-fucking-believable!" Jack exclaimed.I didn't like him using vulgarities in front of Melanie andDebbie. So I swatted him on the back of his head."What the hell was that for?" Jack yelled."You watch your language in front of Melanie. You wanted to go to America when I left here next year, but no such luck, bitch. You get to stay here with Stefano. Of course, his wife might object to that arrangement, but then, too; she has been putting up with it for over two years too now. Goodbye, bitch, I hope you rot in hell for what you have done to me and your family. Your mother knows and I suspect that your father knows, too. I'm not sure whether you will get any sympathy there or not. You were their first, but you turned out to be. The only bug was I needed to get an OK from my father. She didn't say I had to get Jack to go along with it or I had to discuss it with Jack. It isn't that I avoided Jack, I didn't even think about going over it with him.Wanda was right. It's not just me anymore; it's us. The first thing I should have done was tell him I was thinking about it, even before I went to Ms. Evans the first time. It wouldn't have been hard to get him to agree with me and then I would have had him working with me. Now.
