Sometimes when my dad and I disagree, the amount of utter confidence on display would obliterate an unprepared observer, I think
#i don't often find it necessary to lead with confidence in any conversation and definitely not abstract ones#and often it's either me approaching him with need (car stuff) or him approaching me with need#(a new thing with the past year's church situation and a gift!)#but like today i'm having him read my job app stuff for this one really conservative school#and i told him what piece i'm sending for my writing sample and he came back so sure that that's the wrong one#and i should do one on ''someone they've heard of''#and i came back again SO hard on ''that's not what an academic job committee is looking for At All''#and also i don't have another piece of the quality level and also this one should appeal to them in a couple ways#this whole application is such a funny cross section of our spheres of expertise and ignorance (his conservative knowledge#vs my familiarity with academia)
