Trust issues.


 

- You brought a knife?
- Of course I did.
- Don't you trust me?
- I didn't brought a knife because I don't trust you, but because I never leave without one. At least.


Find a real job

Just a quick glimpse at what really happens in professionnal meetings:

Us: So what about the database problem?"
IT Guy: oh, everything is ok now" Us: Oh so you found a solution?" IT Guy: No, but since, we have a bigger problem now, no one really cares about this one" Couple of minutes later: 
The IT guy gives us a potential way to fix the problem.

US: So, it will work, you're sure" IT Guy: No, not really. Honnestly? No Idea! But it might! It's probably worth trying." Yeah... thanks for your help.

Fantasy vs Life




Well, maybe! Maybe I'm a drama queen! But it doesn't mean that the situation isn't critical!

Too much work

I'm probably going to die in the next weeks, due to the coming avalanche of homework.
If I don't survive, please, act as if I was a great person.

The facts are those: My online classes, are interesting as they are, represent a great deal of work, and since I can't actually divide myself in several Beli, I can't do every thing.
And the harder I try the harder it gets.
 basically I'm like "I have to do the Moral foundations of politics paper! Oh shit, the paper for Magna Carta and its legacy is due on tomorrow! Fuck! I forgot about the peers assignment for Reason and Persuasion through Plato! CRAP!"


Oh my god! oh my God! Oh My God!
I'm a very organised person, but still, even I can't work miracles!

Shoot them politely

    

    

Can we appreciate the concept of "shooting someone politely"
I have to admit that I would be pretty handy in awkward situations.

Working with someone

 I have to work with someone for that crapy master degree. And I don't like doing my homework with someone else. Never ends up well.
I tend to be quite perfectionnist, working well while under pressure and endlessly debating things in my head. So having someone else talking to me is like "WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING ME?!"
At work, well, they pay me to be nice and smilly and to work with a team (a great team by the way) so I don't really complain.
But here is the thing. I chose that subject. I wanted to work on it alone so the mark would be the result of my work only (and not a result of my poor social skill and little patience)
So here I am, doing my best to breath slowly and not shout at the beautiful, but unbearable blonde who decided to work with me (it's more her decision than mine actually).
She's talking nonsense and I don't see a way to tell her nicely that I already considered her ideas and that it either not related to our subject or so obvious I don't even understand why she bothers telling me this.

"Are you dumb or do you really enjoy wasting my time?"
Anyway, I look forward to the end of the year so I can finally stop smilling and pretend to enjoy working with her.

Welcome back!

Going back to work after a week of perfect holidays is hard.
It's harder when you job is shouting at you "WHY DID YOU ABANDON ME?!"
I came back this morning, fresh and smilling only to discover that my chair was missing, and then that my keyboard was missing too! Seriously! Is this a way to tell me to go away? It's been only a week!

Well, that isn't very encouraging for the rest of the week, but never mind.
Last week, I did... nothing. Except skiing and watching series and sleeping.
No homework of any kind. Not that I don't have homework! I have loads to do! But I needed a break, a real one during which I sleep and don't let the anxiety and guilt waste my time off.

Well, I'm back! So are guilt and anxiety! I'm looking at that perfectly organized to-do-list who's screaming at me "GUESS WHO'S NOT GOING TO SLEEP THIS WEEK!"

It's going to be a long week!

Karma is a bitch - n°2

It was going to be a nice evening. I was planning on taking a hot bath and reading.

but well, that would have been too easy, right?
There's no more hot water.
