  Another person that I kind of miss, who I haven't heard from in a while, is CP, crazy Chinese postdoc. The other day my american boss came into lab, showed me a Chinese name written on a piece of paper, and asked if I recognized the name. I didn't. He asked if this person might have worked for my former boss, A. I didn't know. Finally, he asked if I thought that this name might be one of CP's aliases. I said, "Sure, I guess that's possible. " End of conversation. I didn't ask my boss what that was all about. Probably because he wouldn't tell me. He would probably tell me that it was in my best interests not to know. A few days prior to this, I asked my boss if he knew what was up with CP these days. He didn't tell me, but he listened intently to my gossip about CP's faculty position offer. Then he didn't say anything, and abruptly changed the topic of conversation.
