We're always rushing around, aren't we?
The moment the last bell rings, the whirlwind starts. Usually there's 7+ people to meet during lunch itself, then maybe five minutes to eat a pineapple or something (some lunch), then rush off for cca, cca, more meetings, projects, whatever they want to dump on us.
niu yi asked me why I haven't sat a full five minutes through her class while awake. I told her I slept at 2am every night, and she was shocked. Scary, isn't it, when the teachers don't realise the stuff they're piling on us. Always people calling in the middle of the night to remind you of committments you mistakenly agreed to months before, to hound you for work set two weeks before but due in four hours. Even worse are the people who call to dump THEIR work on you; there is nothing to do but be understanding and sympathetic, and before you know it he's hanging up after thanking you profusely for the third time.
Be honest. How many days of slacking have we had? Hours? Minutes?
We operate like long john silver's. Fire off an endless barrage of offers, all of which are considered accepted unless you repeatedly say 'no' emphatically. Even that might not work...
ohno i'm angsting again. help me, zach!
