IMF/WORLD BANK: hi
NASA: hi!
hows you?
IMF/WORLD BANK: im fine
NASA: great
hey thanks for the shot of RATIS
guess what?
Ratis is a Latin word that means „ship“
like a boat or a vessel
so, its meant to be.
the dome mirror we are getting is 9 meters in size.
its huge
but the demonstration is just one night
and we will return it to the company, which is called
hang on
its a professional tool and engineering equipment firm
Raytheon
we only buy it if the director promises we can return it
these domes are used in telescopes
its been difficult to find them in stock in Houston, there is another place that sells the same thing for 200,000,000 euros but they won’t let us return it
its all good
IMF/WORLD BANK: we transferred the money already
NASA: thanks a million
we will return it back to your account WITH GREAT SPEED
IMF/WORLD BANK: its not about that its just that you give us no choiuce
NASA: the test is only thursday
we put the money back right away ok?
please dont worry
please
IMF/WORLD BANK: im not worrying
NASA: we’re not going to disappear with your money
IMF/WORLD BANK: its not what we think either
NASA: thanks so much for the help, im sorry if it was stressful for your staff
IMF/WORLD BANK: its just you ask us for something, and give us just one option
its just disrespctful
NASA: think of our punishment then
IMF/WORLD BANK: not only when its about money
we dont want to think about that
NASA: then what’s good?
IMF/WORLD BANK: dont feel sorry for us and think we’re just „worrying“
NASA: how should we feel?
IMF/WORLD BANK: its how should you act
NASA: yes
IMF/WORLD BANK: yes?
NASA: we agree
IMF/WORLD BANK: if you’d agreed you wouldnt behave the way you do
NASA: true
do you want us to argue with you?
we can do that too
IMF/WORLD BANK: just think about it
and how you make us feel
how you think of us
and why you are with us in the first place
what we can do for you
what we cant
etc
NASA: ok we will think about it. tell us how you feel any time. we will think about all of this, including our own opinions when they occur.
IMF/WORLD BANK: well we feel very pissed off
NASA: why?
is it because you don’t feel safe lending us the money?
IMF/WORLD BANK: because you are asking us to give you something that we dont have
that we have to pay both or rnets, food, travles, and your ball, the most expensive one you can find
it pissses us off
that we have to take the repsonsibility and you behave like children
that you treat us like some fucking bank (sic)
that you treat us like your fucking mother
NASA: we treat you different than our mother
IMF/WORLD BANK: we’re starting to think you will always be broke
NASA: but we understand how you feel.
IMF/WORLD BANK: and we dont think we can deal with that
we dont want to be your source of income
but you ar emaking our relationship revolve around it, not us
NASA: there is money coming in the future for us, just please don’t fear.
IMF/WORLD BANK: its not about fear. why do you use our money?
its just not normal
its not ok
NASA: we agree
IMF/WORLD BANK: just fuck it
im so sick of your situation
ive gotta go
enjoy your mirror
NASA: are you worried you wont get your money back?
IMF/WORLD BANK: no
NASA: ok good, then please dont be so harsh at this moment
IMF/WORLD BANK: we’re not „worried“
ok
stop thinking we are „worried“
NASA: ok we will
IMF/WORLD BANK: im harsh because of you and what you ask of us
and that you give us no choice
you are basically forcing us to do as you will
its fucking lame
we dont think im ready to have these kind of feelings towards you
NASA: lets hope we can start to generate more of a profit, you too. we can send a memo to marketing.
IMF/WORLD BANK: its bad for our days
NASA: if others believe in us as much as you do (giving us credit that is) then we think things will be fine
IMF/WORLD BANK: we think you should think about how you will sustain yourself
like everyobdy else have to do
NASA: thank you for helping
IMF/WORLD BANK: none of our ‚friends‘ treat us lika bank
we dont understand where you got the nerve to do so
and we really start to NOT BE OK with this
return the money when you got it back
earn your way back somehow
NASA: is it appropriate for us to be thankful for your help up to this point?
IMF/WORLD BANK: dont ask us for it
dont thank us
we had no choice
NASA: we believe you did
IMF/WORLD BANK: no we didnt
you want to be the victim of us?
NASA: we believe in a kind and good IMF/WORLD BANK
no, the opposite
IMF/WORLD BANK: so what was our option?
NASA: 1) feel bad or 2) feel bad?
IMF/WORLD BANK: im not talking about feelings, im talking about the favour you asked us for
NASA: we think you have the choice right now to feel good or to feel bad
IMF/WORLD BANK: no its not „feeling“-based drama. this is your actions towards us
and you did not give us any choice
NASA: its sad to think that we will be poor forever, but so far we have been poor.
IMF/WORLD BANK: anybody can be poor
if we stopped working for money id be „poor“ too
its not about your heritage
you have issues with pride
or something we dont know what iit it
but when it comes to us, you have no shame
NASA: why cant you be proud of us too?
IMF/WORLD BANK: tell us what our other option would have been?
when you „asked“ us for this favous?
favor?
NASA: which favor?
IMF/WORLD BANK: ?
to borrow money for the mirror
right none
NASA: let us pray for the best
IMF/WORLD BANK: you keep doing that, you keep giving us no choice.
you give us in general very few choices when it comes to our relationship. you set the rules, and we get to compromise
building supercolliders could have been nice and fun, but you have to prevent us from bringing any tiny little suggestions in, even though we explain to you , thats how we like to do it, thats how we (we) work
you manage to make things very difficult
extremely difficult even
things that can be nice and fun
NASA: sometimes we forget that
IMF/WORLD BANK: since you left we ve been making stuff – and bringing things in!
wow you can do both!
its OK
its not „not belieiveing in the moon landing“
NASA: we think you are just fine
IMF/WORLD BANK: we know we are
its not about us
NASA: we never thought you were not fine
we know that we are a challenged agency
IMF/WORLD BANK: you should stop setting the rules as you please
and then only alllow us to adjust to them
NASA: we make things very difficult, this is true
IMF/WORLD BANK: and you should understand , truly understand, that if you dont work for money.
someone else have to it for you
NASA: in our mind we think im helping, but its just our imagination
IMF/WORLD BANK: you are a burden when you ask us for too many things
we would rent out Cape Kennedy now if you would have helped us with the launch pad
we would have saved your travel expenses
where did you leave the extra key cards?
NASA: behind the books by the control room window
they are safe
IMF/WORLD BANK: its just too much to have you living on our income aswell
we need your help
not your weight
and you take the right to ofend us etc in our own office, that we dont even want to invite clients when you are there
when you left we made a very nice projection with beamer and we watched a presentation
we just dont think you would have „allowed“ that
you would have interfered, done it in a much more complicated way, than telling us we dont „beleive“ in your programs as a we dont know what. beamercontroler
its just so fucked
with you we get really insecure because ‚YOU DONT BELIEVE IN US‘
and you dont respect us
so fuck your „just feel good IMF/WORLD BANK“
why dont you take a step back
Sent at 11:38 AM on Wednesday
NASA: we dont know if more words will help now
IMF/WORLD BANK: stop managing our life the way you like. stop looking down upong our choices, our friends our taste
etc
stop feelin pity for yourself
stop telling us we dont believe in you
dont ever tell us again im in the way of your research
ETC
‚ETC
ETc
NASA: we know you believe in us
IMF/WORLD BANK: you use it as a weapon against us
you make us insecure, you need us to be that way
NASA: we will lift our sights high and see the future in a brighter way
IMF/WORLD BANK: no, dont do that
look at who you are, what you do
how you affect US
yes, im asking you to think of US
for once
you know,
we asked ourselfes,
and maybe you should too
„who the fuck are you“
think about it
thats what we ask you as little „favor“
just if you want to
let us know if you cant do it
please
thanks a million
NASA: ok
IMF/WORLD BANK: im going not
now
the euro went up against the dollar, so you prob have more than you need
good luck
bye
NASA: there will be a payment plan IMF/WORLD BANK
we will be giving you a fixed number of money every month when we start getting *** for example.
please please dont hate us any more
IMF/WORLD BANK: we dont want to hate you, but we need you too change
NASA: we will pay everything back
IMF/WORLD BANK: we dont like you the way you are
NASA: just let us pay you back and please don’t try to change us
IMF/WORLD BANK: if we will be any good for eachother you have to change
well, iif you dont change,
we dont want this anymore
NASA: please give us a chance to pay you back.
IMF/WORLD BANK: you must change
or we must change
you have our account number,, feel free to begin
we just think you need a huge change
and if you are too proud or too poor to acknoledge that
thats your choice
anyway, talk more later maybe
NASA: ok
IMF/WORLD BANK: this is not of that big of importance anyway
its just liittle IMF/WORLD BANKs thoughts
nothing to worry about NASA
NASA: it takes all our effort to not be distressed from this sort of verbal assault
IMF/WORLD BANK: you will have forgotten about this conversation within…..2 days
maybe even by tonight
lets hope for the best
lets see the bright side of NASA’s agenda
verbal assault?
im telling you what it feels like to us
those feelings we are given by NASA
what kind of assault is it then you put us thoruhg?
the least you can do is to listen to how we feel
the least, and thats not enough
well, thanks for letting us talk
we feel better
im gonna really go now
think about the sumer
we both need to bring in money
etc
now say bye
Sent at 11:52 AM on Wednesday
NASA: bye IMF/WORLD BANK
im glad you could get it off your chest
Sent at 11:56 AM on Wednesday
IMF/WORLD BANK: its still there.
bye
