Another instructor of mine is leaving. I am scaring all of them away!

Nothing to update. Slowly trudging along...

Somewhere along my stay here, I became the number one target for people to express their complaints and grouses. Some of them are even about things that are not under my control. And when some are, I try to help out.

For example, a complaint came in from two individuals regarding another guy. After some investigation, it was found that the suspect was guilty of the crime. And the two guys were quite adamant in getting something done. So, I forwarded their issues over to the powers-that-be. Sure enough, the suspect was given a sounding.

And now, I am the bad guy.

I am not a goddamn head prefect. In actual fact, I was never a prefect in school. Okay, I lasted half a day as a trial-prefect back in primary school. And I was nominated by my form teacher by the mere fact that "there are no other guys of prefect-calibre in this class anyway". And the hand that delivered smited me as well. So, I never really liked prefects. Only some of them were cool. The rest just had a mean power trip.

So, guys. All complaints go to the new guy.

I have retired, partially.

When the DVD player first arrived in my room, it somehow did not cooperate with the television. It just didn't seem to transfer any data to the television. Hence, it became a white baby elephant while acting as a rest for the PS2 player. And when we felt the urge to watch a DVD, we just hooked up Roommate's laptop to the television. But now (a couple weeks ago actually) that Roommate has left, I was left with movie hangovers.

Then, just 3 hours ago, I fiddled around with the DVD player again. And great, it is now working fine. And the first movie to be screened by the DVD player was the crappy (IMHO) movie Flightplan.

So, the perfectly-fine DVD player was sitting around doing nothing for 8 months. It is true that anything is possible, if you are really desperate.

Let me tell you about this guy. He goes to the dining hall, wanting to use the phone. He sees that both phones are being used. He proceeds to write his name on the list. Immediately, he goes over to the guy behind the glass door, raps on the glass, and makes a phone gesture with his hand. But when he uses the phone for longer than the designated 15 minutes, and someone gives him the "rap", he is not happy.

It is no wonder not many people like him.

And let me tell you about this other guy. He is unhappy about something with the planning (which was absolutely flawless), writes a personal and accusing note for the planner and leaves no name at the end. Fine, there have been many complaints so far, but none as cowardly as this. And he has got to be kidding himself if he thinks that this incident is going to be forgotten just like that.

What colourful characters we have here!

First and foremost, a very happy new year to all my faithful readers. Countable with two hands I am sure, but nonetheless...

With the problem with my internet browser, I have been quite lazy to update my blog. Or even to log on for that matter. To forget the whole hassle, the guys and I decided to take the long road trip down to Albany. After visiting it by air, we drove down to see what the town is like from the ground. Was quite good actually.

And now back to reality. Working every day, which is a good thing. Early February is actually possible now.

Currently engrossed in a game on the PlayStation. Scares the jeepers out of me, but I still like it!
