The person who was 6 months late 3 days ago

doing a baseline study, four months late on another project and is now heading for a spectacular 10 months late on another item (something I wrote in great speed in Jan/ Feb this year and handed aover and which HAS STILL NOT BEEN FINALISED by her, which means that my company cannot get paid for it …) Same person was so late with some material for this recently concluded projectr that one of the units in her module had to be printed separately.

has just sent me an email asking for the minutes of a meeting that I attended on Tuesday.

Are we going to work together again?

What do YOU think?



Sipho the drunkard 5 days ago

One of the gvt officials who was supposed to attend the train the trainer, missed his flight. He complained to the funders that he had received late notification and sent a letter to this effect. The reality is that he was DRUNK. Our partner in the project explained that he has consistently messed up arrangements and that she personally had to telephone him to WAKE HIM UP so that he could drive to the airport to catch a flight to the training (our component was no. 4 of 4).

When she telephoned him the morning that he was supposed to leave he was DRUNK.

And he tried to blame us for late notification …



How do you tell 1 week ago

someone you don’t know very well but have to work with closely, that they have halitosis?



I am feeling fed up 2 weeks ago

I don’t like my job.

I don’t enjoy what I am doing.

All seems pointless.



Absent for a week, lost 5 subscribers! 2 weeks ago

Oh you faithless bunch!

You deserted me in my hour of need!

When I needed support, you scarpered.

I did not WANT to be away: I was betrayed by a defunct machine.



Blue screen of death 4 weeks ago

It arrived on Friday 30 October, suddenly, without warning.

My Packard Bell is toast.

I was standed, as though my right arm had been lopped off.

Hours expended in running around to get it sorted.

Blue is not my favourite colour anymore.



A young woman I know 1 month ago

who worked for a business colleague, committed suicide the day before yesterday.

She had battled with bi-polar disorder.

I feel desperately sad for her, for her Mom, for her colleagues and friends.

She waited for her Mom to leave on a trip to London.

So sad.



It was not a user problem! 2 months ago

I don’t like internet service providers.

It has taken 1 week of STRUGGLE to get my 3G card working again. And different answers/ assumptions from every person I spoke to. Countless hours wasted.

Note to these people: IT WAS NOT A USER PROBLEM.



I don't like being invisible 2 months ago

No cheers to give, none received.

Expunged. Wiped out. A shadow.



Misuse of recognition of prior learning 2 months ago

I totally understand the principles behind this. But do any graduates who have slogged through the onerous steps required to get a bachelor’s, then an honours, then a master’s degree, to finally get admittance to a DBA or PhD or D Ed, usually while working at a demanding and stressful job, not feel even a teeny bit aggrieved that with RPL, in certain institutions, some people are getting admitted to , for e.g. an MBA without a basic degree?

Is RPL not being misused?

(Putting aside the fact that such institutions are not usually the top flight ones…)

My feelings: I feel aggrieved,but then I remind myself that I gained infinitely more by going through the whole process step by step.
