so there i was sitting quietly, thinking about the food for the upcoming seminar, my whiny students, my growling stomach, the stupid gap between the buttons of my shirt
, in a meeting where i wasnt even a part of, but yet, had to attend. You see, the meeting was about assigning lecturers for next sem's classes, and as I have yet to obtain a MSc, I'am not yet qualified to teach any of the classes. But our dept is running out of ppl, most are on/will be going on study leave, leaving 3 permanent staff on board, so i was required to attend the meeting to 'meramaikan majlis', duh
.


while i was busy daydreaming, i heard them busy going over dr. om's suggestion on getting mr. ab to teach subject CS, instead of the OS subject tht he has been assigned with. But Mr. Ab strongly preferred to teach OS (easier, i reckon), but kept on re-iterating tht he'd accept anything tht's given to him (dude, make up yr mind). As though she could read my mind, the dept head asked Mr Ab to choose, again, he said he prefered OS, but he'd take CS. Dr. om wanted him to teach CS...(abbreviations, yeah, i hate them too) so tht it'd help him with the PhD program tht he'd be starting this Dec. Ok, tht kinda made sense, but it's Dec!!! tht's another 3-4 months, man, he needs time to prepare for it.
.....and tht's when I thought I should finally say something and went, "Dr, he has only around 3-4 months here. If he prefers OS, just give it to him, then he'd have more time to prepare for his PhD....blah blah blah (come on la, look at the previous tutors/lecturers who had to go without proper preparation, kesian...btw, jawa's name came out too, how, i wasnt really paying attention. Dr om just has a knack for pulling names out of the air. anyway, panjang gak ler my speech time tu, thinking that I was doing Mr. Ab a favor, plus, I am kinda against power-manics-who-miss-his/her-time-of-glory-and-never-give-others-a-chance)". Then, suddenly, the dept head said, "But Mr Ab IS TEACHING CS this semester".
What?????
