When it rains, it pours

I started off feeling like I just wanted to whine about having so much work. Then I just realised that now that I've finally finished this piece of work, I feel like going on and doing more. I'm finally in the mood to do work. Nevermind that it's 12.40am. Now if only I didn't have 9am classes every day.

Are you a girl? Okay, even if you're not, you can think about this in terms of if you were a girl, or if this was your sister or girlfriend or something.
Some dude graduated from some other uni and is now working. He might be some regular guy, he might be some creep, or he might be an all out nutjob. You have no idea. He contacts the people in your (or your sister's/gf's) university society saying that he used to be part of the same thing in his uni and is interested in just staying active in the field and would like to join their meetings. Fine. But none of you or your other members have met this dude before.
One fine day, you're all planning some activity. It's out of town. In areas you're unfamiliar with. Now this activity that was being planned that's outside regular scheduled meeting times..oh you're the vice chair btw...now this activity...you didn't know about it. The chairman decided on it without telling you, let alone consulting you. And now tells you we're going and if you don't go, despite the fact that we all know you've got a prior engagement at those times, that's just you skipping yet another activity. Oh but if you don't come, that's just you skipping meetings. But wait! The chairman who failed to even keep you in the loop has a brilliant solution! That dude you all don't know wants to come along! He'll be joining them late..possibly at a time that might accommodate your prior engagement. Why I arrange for you to come with him? He can pick you up. It'll just be the two of you. All the way across the bridge and another half hour of driving in parts of town you don't know to the middle of nowhere.

Marketing

Sigh. So much for trying to lose all that weight. I've been feeling good about myself that I've finally lost some weight and my clothes are back to fitting me properly. I'm not keeping up with as much exercise now that I'm bogged down with so many classes and so much studying to do. But I'm making sure I don't put back on what I've only just lost.

But yesterday, I got the rudest smack in tha face. My student's Mum told me that I look like I've put on weight. WTH?! Here I am so happy that I've just lost some more weight and she's telling me I look fat?! Then it all came out. The reason I sometimes dislike marketers. That would be the sometimes when they try to seel you things you don't really need.

She'd just started working with one of those healthcare/wellness/Chinese medicine whatever companies. The last time we spoke at length, she was trying to tell me that I should buy whatever Chinese medicine and herbs or whatever through her or something. I suppose the blank look on my face while she rattled off all the names gave away the fact that I'm not into that stuff. Now she tells me my tummy looks bloated and is trying to sell me all those enzyme thingies and detox whatevers. Eww. While the idea of all that detox stuff is nice, I just don't quite feel all that comfortable with taking all these additional things of which I haven't quite been convinced are safe let alone beneficial.

I hate it when there are so many decisions to make concurrently. And each decision is somehow dependent on the other. Like imagine those super complicated flow charts with yes go this way and no go the other way and they're all interconnected and...urgh...
