transfer window final day intrigue...
i can't believe i'm actually staying up and following the berbatov saga on sky sports. i guess i want to go to sleep knowing that we have a striker in to reinforce the squad, but there is an amazing amount of other transfer information zipping about on sky's clock watch.
it's unbelievable.
in other things, i've been watching hogan's heroes. if you don't know what it is, it's a classic sitcom set in a german world war two pow camp. no one escapes stalag 13 simply because its inmates can do more harm to the german war effort by helping other prisoners or potential prisoners escape or by sabotage and espionage. it's side splitting stuff and while a little over the top at times, downright ingenius.
schoolwise, i don't really get why everyone's getting so worked up about our new tutor.
yes, he's sarcastic. yes, he's naggy. yes, he's a nitpicker. yes, he does rub people the wrong way.
but we are mere students while he is a producer at channel newsasia. he's seen it all while we've only been weaned off the experience of other lecturers.
we're good for an mdis batch. i don't doubt it for a second.
but i think we need to lighten up a bit and realise that he has much to offer us from his experience if we can just thicken up the epidermal layers a little bit and see through the jibes and nagging for a lesson on how the workplace really will be like.
we also have to speak up because we are pretty darn silent and take a while to get going. i guess he just wants to provoke a reaction and get a response through his sarcasm.
i think it's an absolute rarity to have people coddle you on the job, and i think if we can't tahan 3 days of this, then it's going to be a hard, hard time in the future when the proverbial hits the fan. i might have enjoyed working as a temp in my 3 experiences of working life thus far, but i think i've had it easy as compared to the perm staff who really do have to dole out crapshovelling shifts by the truckload.
sometimes, you just have to take things on the chin.
