A Wasted Trip?
A trip that cost me a whole 2.5 hours; all for 10 minutes of waiting, 3 minutes of negotiation and 20 minutes of searching.20 minutes of searching:
Tried to find a department listed under the faculty of science... The department of computational science.
10 minutes of waiting:
Waited for 10 whole minutes before the person in question turned up at the office... time: 1420 Hrs, Lunch? No way... Tuang? High chance!
3 minutes of negotiations:
Talked to the person for a while; actually prepared myself before hand for an unfavourable reply... turned out otherwise.
Time wasted... almost 3 hours. Acheived: Got my tutorial time slot in a class thats already full.
The worst part is the person never replied to a mail that I sent out at 10.40am in the morning all the way till the time I met him/her in the department office. Well, if the person can so readily agree to my request for a tutorial time slot change, why can't the person do so online, without me having to personally come down to the office to "tell" him/her in person?
Well, all is not lost; at least Lyon waited for me and accompanied me home... had some fun with the keyboard before Mr Tan came over for a singing practise session.
That just about sums up my day, a wasted day? Maybe, maybe not... I enjoyed the company! The things that happened seemed so much like those that would happen in the army days? Talk about responsibility...

the situation reminds me of my biz law class
- is email subjected to the postal rule or the receipt rule?
the layman's question will be: is email instaneous or not?
this leads to: do we have a responsibility to reply email within a certain timeframe?
