Further Bulletins as Events Warrant...

My graphics card just went kaput again. I just changed it a couple of weeks ago, in July.

Argh.

Back then, my screen showed specks of color during startup. So i went to the service centre to swap for another one. Now, the screen doesn't even appear at all. I can't see anything, so i can't even try and watch a video or even listen to music.

Double Argh.

I'm using the family's computer now and am officially bored. (-.-)

To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.

The time now is 1.30am in the morning and the news isn't good, i'm afraid. I've just returned from the office, i'm bone-weary, tired and absolutely exhausted.

And i still have drawings to check before i go to bed.

God help me.

I've finally succumbed. I'm taking leave for today to rest. Can't. Take. It. Anymore. *collapse* (-.-)

Check the following list of handy expletives, and see that you know how to use them.

Apology Letter to the Boss of a Architectural Firm:

I wish to apologize for my rude behavior on Friday. I know, i know. I was childish, impolite and just plain obnoxious.

But.

Allow me to show you my schedule on that day:

  • 9.30am - First Meeting
  • 12.30pm - Finished First Meeting
  • 1.00pm - Arrived back at office
  • 1.30pm - Leave office for Second Meeting
  • 2.00pm - Second Meeting
  • 2.30pm - Leave for Third Meeting
  • 3.00pm - Third Meeting

As you can see, my itinerary was packed. After my first meeting, when i arrived back in office, i had to continue my tender preparations for Monday, and my preparations were only half-done. When i reached your office at 2.00pm, i hadn't even eaten my lunch. And i had only 30mins to go through whatever issues that had arise.

And while i was explaining something to you, you said, "I'm an Architectural Registered Inspector (R.I.). I know the rules and regulations." I kept quiet. Mostly out of deference to you since you're the boss of the firm, you're elderly and you have lots of experience.

But when your younger Architect showed the portion of the Code of Practice which reaffirms my explanation and statement, I lost it.

I'm sorry. I should have kept quiet and at least, speak in a more reasonable "I-told-you-so" tone of voice.

You are old. You are the boss of the architectural firm. You have heaps of experience. You deserve respect and recognition.

Therefore, i offer my humble apologies and will do my best not to make the same mistake again.
