Yesterday, I was completely and utterly insulted and disrespected. It's date due day and it was time for editing. I was prepared for my work to be edited and cut short because we had to keep to our word limit. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I wasn't around when my work had to be edited, so it was given to someone else. This person never once consulted me for help, discussed my work with other members of my group while I'm sitting right in front of her and felt that she could do what took days for me to complete, in an hour. I tried to figure out what was the problem with my work and see if I could be of any help, but I was ignored.
When I finally managed to look through the edited bits, I realised that all of my hard work, is practically all gone. Points were combined until they didn't make sense anymore, there were no back up references or explanations as to why certain points were made and points that were important to me, were taken out. You call that team work? Because I don't think so.
Worse thing was, I didn't say anything to the person in question. I didn't have the opportunity to and I certainly wasn't in the right frame of mind to say anything. I was defensive, insulted and frustrated. Perfect recipe for disaster. Plus, during all of that time, I was treated like I wasn't even there. And that's why I was so worked up, which resulted in my inability to handle it better.

I doubt you would read this because I honestly don't think you read any of our blogs anymore. No matter... I'm actually hoping you would read this because this is probably the only chance I get to say what's on my mind since I stupidly missed it yesterday.
I really don't mean to be nasty, but I'd rather be honest and I don't want to come up with some cock idea to e-mail you or something. You know that I wasn't very happy with your work attitude, I told you that awhile back. And during this project, when you e-mailed your work on time, I was actually happy and I felt that the talk didn't go to waste. I was just about to tell you that you did a good job on this one, but I'm thankful I didn't because I would have regretted it.
I'm glad the project is over and I'm glad I'm graduating this semester because I'm honestly very glad I don't have to work with you again. I don't like to have my patience and nice-ness tested like that...
My birthday is about a month from now and my friends have been bugging me for a wishlist. So here it is, girls! =)

click here)
The Puppini Sisters album, 'The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo'
A nice portable umbrella (like the one Clara has :p)
Starbucks cup!
I found this awesome edition of 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' on Amazon.com. It is how pretty! It's the entire collection of all five books and it's very cheap for a 5-books-in-one thing. So so so so nice! I want I want! But I think I definitely won't be able to find here in Singapore. *sigh* ohh wells! I'll see how... I may end up not getting it at all because it's one of those things that is so pretty, I can't bear to use it! A bit of a waste if that's the case... Haha!
Anyways, that's all for my wishlist for now. I'm very sre I have a No. 8, but I can't remember what it is now.. I'll post the updated version if I happen to remember it or think of any! =)
