I woke up this morning because of one text message. It was my mum, telling me that my ulcer problem IS definitely related to stress issue and mental problems. Well, she didn't actually say "mental", but I assumed that's what she meant. I think my mum is a bit worried after several episodes of Emergency Room and job desperation. She meant well, I know that. Oh, she also reminded me to pray to the huge G--to ask God's blessing. Yea. I didn't reply to that.
And then I decided that five in the morning was just inhumane and went back to sleep. Woke up around seven to find another text. Not my mum (phew!), but a friend. He's having issues with ex girlfriend from hell. He wanted me to kill him so he could be freed from the tortures given by ExGFFH. Not a nice thing to read right after you woke up. It actually upset me.
Went to the office and got on with my work. Nothing unusual happened. I wrote a long e-mail for my friend, telling him about my experience with ExBFFH (you should get the abbreviations by now). It's a bit similar to what he currently has to endure. And then went back to usual work... or pretending to work, in my case (procrastinating always feels nicer, especially while reading an essay or article or anything other than your work).
My story sounds a bit pointless by now--I know--anyway, later on I heard from my colleague about what might going to happen to the temp staff in this office. It's again confirmed that the office will not hire any temp staff permanently. She heard this from the HR people. Funny thing, I was not surprised. Not even freaked out. Just calmly took the news. I guess I have lost my hopes for this office quite some time ago.
I used to have a point (or points) if I wrote something. There should be a certain topic or theme. That's what I told my students in my class (not teaching them now at the moment, unfortunately). This one... is a bit pointless, just like my job, my friend's ExGFFH, my mum's text message (a part of it anyway)...
Now, if all of you can just move along....
