<p>Jerry seems to be a habitual b.s.er. I’ve known a few people like this. I don’t understand them, to be honest. </p>
<p>For example, in Jerry’s mind, saying, “I will confirm the details and then post a response tomorrow evening,” might be the same as saying “I will confirm the details and then [try to] post a response tomorrow evening.”</p>
<p>He probably expects you to infer that it is not a promise or even a high priority. And yes, I agree, it’s extremely annoying. Especially since he’s done it almost every time he’s said something. I think his only priority at this point is transitioning to his new job at IIT.</p>
<p>And I am beginning to suspect, more and more, that the entire problem with admissions was probably just a problem with Jerry. He was responsible for the imaging system, after all.</p>
<p>And, yes, we were the lab rats. :-)</p>
