Alright, long time no updates, but there are a few things I'd like to share.
First, I began that MBA..... I know, it seemed like not worth pursuing, and I was going to forget it. Yet, my parents were quite determined that I do it, and I also thought it wouldn't necessarily be a totally bad idea (considering a low cost, and considering that I am not really learning anything much useful at the conscription work) that I applied without spending much efforts. I got accepted and well, I'm in the program. BTW, my parents are paying for the program, so I am not in any student debt. (If I was going to go into a debt, I would not have started at all.)
Yet, here is an interesting thing to mention. I have sorta become a leader in the program. People listen to what I have to say with admiration. (Heck, we created a student group, and one person specifically said how he/she admired my comments.) The school's pretty responsive to what I have to say and suggest. So far it's not bad, and I am learning things that could be useful and applicable for my future career or business.
Second is at conscription work. Sometimes there is an increase in the workload, but most of them are not physical. (They wouldn't do that because they know I have issues with my arms.) I use the time quite productively as when I am not given work, I'd either read books, study (e.g. programming, and MBA), or read news and materials related to international affairs (my previous MA program was related to IA). The customers coming to the gov office usually respects me, and those who are prone to anger, usually calms down.
So far so good. Getting what I want (e.g. not much physical work, and lots of free time to do productive work).
Third is that my working speed has increased. This may not necessarily be true for MBA study (I sometimes find my concentration level can be lower, but I have ADD to start along with high functioning autism and other psychological issues.), but for the work I am given at the office, my work speed is quite fast.
I'll give you an example. One of gov employee gave me a task for Excel work. It was a tedious work basically requiring me to match the corresponding picture and address of a lamppost and put it in the cell, and also find the map of the location on Google map, take screen shot and past it on the Excel. The guy expected me to take things slowly and take it easy. I on the other hand wanted to get it done ASAP, and spend the time doing something else. I ended up finishing the work by the next day or two. He told me that he expected that I'd finish the work in a month or so. I did it at maximum 2 and a half days. (it's been a while.)
The second example comes from yesterday. One of the tasks I was given yesterday involved putting address labels on envelops, putting invitation on the envelops, and then sealing them. I did them and gave them back to the employee who asked me to do. In the afternoon, she came to me and apologized that I need to work on them again as the address label wasn't complete at the time, and that the work needs to be done. What was complicated was that the new labels had duplicates, and given that there was not enough of envelops and invitations, I couldn't just re do them all over; I had to find duplicates first and only pack the envelops for the missing labels. The worst part? I was given only 2 hours to do that and give detailed feedback for other task. (This work was given to me by another employee)
Guess what? I originally thought that the work was impossible to finish at time. Because there was no recognized pattern in the labels and that I needed to re do the packing, which again takes time. However, I actually finished all of the works in one hour as I somehow found out a pattern in the label and the order of envelops I worked with.
To simplify, the employees give me work and sometimes with near impossible timeline, and always I complete the task without a flaw.
Third thing I noticed is with secondary ASRB. When I don't listen to LTU 5 because of the secondary ASRB, it's during this time when things get worse. For example, I could get more work, and have less time to do something more productive. I wonder whether I should forget about ASRB and just crunch through LTU5 every day, but I am not going to. I'll stick with the instructions as much as I can.
The fourth thing is a potential improvement in the love life. A little while ago with a few posts back, I mentioned how girls at work may have interest in me. One of the girl got transferred to other location, and the other still stays. Let's call this girl P.
Here's the development.
A girl who was sitting next to P was getting a transfer. Since she was the one of the last three gov employees who was at the office from the first day I began my conscription, I decided to give her a treatment. I bought a piece of cake and gave to her, explaining why I was giving her. (A little departure/goodbye souvenir) This girl and P later talked quite a bit about how P was not getting attention or so. I suspected that it can be me, but it could be anyone. Either way, they turned into gossip mood after I gave the cake and talked quite a bit.
A new gov employee arrive to replace the girl who got transferred out. Let's call this girl Y. She's new, and she needs to know many different regulations and laws regarding pensions. Unfortunately, she wasn't too adept at them given that she's new. One day, an angry customer came to ask why he didn't qualify for the pension. Y was not really doing a great job explaining things, because of her lack of experience. The customer got even more mad and started to be very straight and direct when questioning. Y broke down and cried in front of the customers. Whole bunch of gov employees came to help her out and console her later. At that moment, I thought, well do the right thing. I was like, shit, let's do something nice. I went out bought beverages for myself, the conscript colleague, and this girl. I chose a chocolate drink for this girl. I gave the girl a drink telling her that eating something sweet and chocolates can help ease stress. And then I basically came back to my station. (My desk is just pretty much across Y and P's)
Y shared the drink with people sitting next to them, and again P and Y talked quite a bit. This time, an older lady joined. (Not a gov employee but a helper hired by the office.) I remember hearing P saying how she's not getting an attention and complained a bit. Then they were saying something like, well I can't talk about it, [a person] can hear. And the older lady saying something like, if we whisper he won't be able to hear. Well, it turns out I have pretty good hearing (I listen to things on my laptop with volume 2 out of 100 when using earbuds and I can hear them just fine for most of the stuff, except few files or contents with especially low volumes to begin with) , so I got to hear quite a bit.
P was saying how she's not liking/loving [him], but has interests. How she now thinks she's attracted to model student type. (Not the greatest translation, but there really isn't really a better translation. Nerd may also work, but has more negative connotation than the original meaning.)
That's pretty much the entire thing I heard, but I'm going to tell you a few more stuff I heard P speaking to someone else.
P in the past talked on a phone about how things are okay as she can cake care of [someone] that his/her body can be weak. Guess what? I am especially taking an image of a weakling at the work to avoid doing physical works like carrying heavy things.
P also spoke on a phone who things are okay as she also wants to leave. Leave? Well the implied feeling I got was that she felt okay leaving the country... Guess what? People know that I studied abroad and that I want to go abroad or want to go abroad ASAP.
P also spoke with a colleague and that she's pretty timid and has difficult time getting closer to someone... well that girl is pretty bubbly with her colleagues. I think I also heard P saying if she was not timid then why wouldn't she talk to oo. I couldn't hear the name clearly, but I think she actually spoke my name; oo was probably my name.
I also heard P saying to the new girl, how she used to like (or dated, couldn't hear that part) a guy who can uplift mood like crazy, but her taste has changed now.
So basically to summarize, P said to her colleagues, she likes a guy whose image is like that of a model student, and complained how she was not getting attention from someone (complained twice about how she's not getting attention after her colleagues got treats from me.) She told her colleague on a phone about how she's okay with a person (presumably a guy) having weak physical body (i.e. prone to illeness and etc) as she's going to take a good care of the person. P also indicated that it is okay to leave as she wants to leave too.
I'm speculating here, but given all these, I suspect that there is a good chance that this girl, P, has interests in me. Why? Because I know that I'm giving off model student vibe (compared to other conscripts, I'm the only one who never sleeps at work, always do something productive like reading stuff that is useful, and handle customers and gov work well), and at the same time, I am also giving weakling vibe, which is done purposefully. (But the issue of arm is true though...)
Given all these, it seems to fit quite nicely that I suspect of a good chance of P having at least interest and perhaps even more to liking me. I don't know what kind of interest though. Marriage, romance, or sexual. Probably not so much sexual, I think, but more marriage or romance. (That girl talked quite a lot about dating and marriage with colleagues.)
I don't know what I am gonna do, but I may test the girl's intention. I'm thinking that I may buy her a beverage or so and telling her how I sorta thought she might have felt left alone or unattended as I gave two of her colleagues (who sat right next to her) treats before.
I suppose I could be much more direct, but hey sexual harassment stuff is dangerous, and she and I never really talk at all as we have no work together whatsoever. (She's been at the office for over a year or so.)
Yet, what I think I am finding is that those around her seem to be advising against her interest in me, and even sometimes encouraging to see some other guy (specific guys).
I don't know what I am gonna do , but I'm curious and want to actually test this out. And if my suspicion is actually correct, I really don't know what I will do.
Anyway, I think this can be an interesting development in the "love life". We shall see what LTU may bring.
