Tedious
Tuesday, March 29, 2011

I had plans of blogging about what nice days Monday and Tuesday were. Then I had a nap today;
Somehow. I woke up at promptly 7.30pm in my parents' room. I dont even rmb taking a nap;
Nor that I had even gone into their room. Anyway. Opened my email and saw one from Ms Gordon.
For a moment I thought she was gonna cancel the swap. After reading, my day is spoiled even more.
I need to let it off here. Or else someone is gonna suffer tmr. Jaryl Siaw watch out.
Refer to my directly previous post for the start of this 'drama'. Jaryl better hope I cool down before I see your face tmr.
Dear Jaryl,

Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, I cannot accede to your request. Jian Bin and Tian Hong are your classmates. I do not appreciate your harsh judgement of them. You should at least consider giving them an opportunity.
We cannot always work with only those whom we like/respect/admire. We have to give and take – sometimes we have to work harder and help those who are less able/weak. If Tian Hong lacks initiative, then you give him clear instructions. If he is out of contact, get his main number, or insist for his parents hp number so that you can remind them to remind him. If Jian Bin wants to impose inferior ideas, I am sure you, Jacelyn and Yao Yu can outvote him and force him to do what the majority has decided. These are valuable lessons you have to learn now because it is the real situation in the world.
If you have clear evidence of laziness and un-cooperation after you have tried your best, then you have a valid reason to argue/object. Otherwise, I would advise you think carefully before shooting off emails like this – especially when it contains claims without just cause.
Furthermore, in the remote possibility that what you claim about Jian Bin and Tian Hong is true, did you take a moment to consider the plight of Madhu and Ethan who have to work with both of them?
This is precisely why I felt the need to swap members so that every group has an equal share of strengths and weaknesses.
And I would also like to remind you that I have taken your requests into consideration before and swapped Ethan with Rittik.
Now, you insist on another swap? It reflects quite badly on you as well as someone who often looks at the negative as opposed to the positive.
I am very disappointed in reading your email and I hope I have made things clear to you. Do take some time and reflect.

I am ccing this email to Jacelyn (your leader) as well because I absolutely do not wish to receive another complaint from your group anymore.
Jacelyn, please use your maturity and explain to your group members.
Thank you.
Such a friendly tone. :) Let me use my maturity and explain the email to Jaryl. And my team.
I know I sent an email questioning her decision, but as from the previous post, I used a more formal tone;
I dare say professional. Calm, no feelings involved, all facts. "Harsh judgement"?
I know you dont like those 2, I dont either, my scores are gonna suffer badly. Did I rant?
Of course I feel like screaming vulgarities, but this is work, minimal personal grudges please.
(I know you may be tempted to cite my Physics grping as example but I hv other reasons for that)

Anyway. Yes, I if I had a choice, I would hv me, Lisa, Matt and Val in my grp. Val's a great leader;
Lisa, Matt and I, well, writing is our specialty. But I cant have every bloody thing I want right?
This be life, boy. Or as she stated, " [...] it is the real situation in the world." I pity Madhu;
But I still reacted strongly (but professionally) to the swap, though I didnt fight back when she refused;
She gave her reasons and I have not much of a say.


As for my final say;
"Otherwise, I would advise you think carefully before shooting off emails like this – especially when it contains claims without just cause."

"Now, you insist on another swap? It reflects quite badly on you as well as someone who often looks at the negative as opposed to the positive.
I am very disappointed in reading your email and I hope I have made things clear to you. Do take some time and reflect."

Now, dear boy, she thinks badly of our grp now. I am a teensy bit fuming. No not cuz you bitched about them;
Because you hv wonderfully affected the team. She now thinks badly of US. Scores will suffer.
Where is the logic about bitching to a teacher? That's a little too personal and it always ends badly.
Even if you dont bitch directly. Even if its just a hint. Believe me, I hv first hand experience.

Ya know, just sayin'.

Well, if you hv anything to say to this to explain your actions, I'm more than open to them.
I do not expect an apology, I understand as... You are you, this is almost inevitable.
What I do expect, is full cooperation and forward me the email you wrote her;
Dont worry, I wont post it up here. Email me the email as well as a screenshot of it to verify.


Sigh. Maybe I'm over-reacting again. Well I guess I have my reasons. I guess. ASDFGHJKL.
Feeling a little extreme on the emotions nowadays. Ah well. Haha I was actually serious;
Like damnit, how often does that happen? 203 would know best, almost never. But it happens.
And I do admit, I reckon myself pretty scary when I get serious. Thankfully this isnt in person;
Me being serious in person, I dare reckon, is... A rather different matter.
