Feeling "Frustrated"
Yes, not a good blog entry indeed! So, if you are not in a mood to hear
grumble please turn away .............. "now"! :)
It just amazes me that no matter how hard you tried to make sure
everything went smoothly on the D-Day, things will always jump up
in front of you and mess things up!
Just like other semesters for the past two years, I have been doing
teaching for the dept and instead of having the same record for every
semesters, a new record has to be made every semester and so imagine
how "banana" I'd get when I always managed to receive late payment
for the first two months on the past two years here just because somewhere
on the line my contracts has been sitting remorsely on someone's in line tray
- waiting to be picked up for ages.
This year is no exception either. After learning from numerous occasion,
I had make sure and reminded everyone fortnightly to make sure that
everything went fine.
I have been assured that everything went fine..
To my horror at the end of the month, again, no wages.
Complaining here and there has resulted in me running an errand in the
morning chasing people up.
Being totally frustrated already about the whole thing, I decided to go for swimming at lunch time to release the tension and never
in my life, I had been greeted with the shock of my towel gone missing!
A good 20 minutes search for it is a total no luck either!
It forces me to draw one vital conclusion:

It is totally a bad luck day for me. Maybe I should just lock myself up in my flat
and not buying lottery today.

Feeling "Philosophic"
In the recent two years I have learned that:
1. No matter how hard you try to stay away from office politic,
you WILL always get dragged into one.
So, just accept and live with it!
2. It is NOT normal to reply to email too fast! (*cheeky grin*)
3. It IS, however, normal to only check your email ONCE a day
this is to avoid getting into office politics.
(I have problem on sticking to these principles, though).
4. No matter how hard I tried, I will always be mistaken as first year undergraduate students every new academic term and that 90% of time am buying booze, I need to have ID on my hand!
5. Cycling doesn't have to be only during good weather.
6. I have even find a comfort in cycling during wet weather.
7. It is the sense of freedom and thinking green that drive me to cycling.
(and the ludicrous increase of local bus fares, obviously)
8. I have made more new friends than I ever did before
(from teaching, doing my research, doing charities, getting back into cycling) and tends to value all my friends and stay in touch with all of them.
9.I also have learned that no matter what I do,
my office desk will always be in "chaotic" state!
10. That having Nintendo DS has keep me sane for the past two years! ;P
