A few days ago, (on the suggestion of one of the faculty here at my insti) I had decided that I would continuously sit for like 8 hours and work on character tables... It is a bit abstract but I thought what the hell I can do it.....
First thing in the morning what do I see, our sink was broken, so had to brush in the kitchen.....
Then went for breakfast and there was supposed to be pav bhaji!!!!!
Naturally i was excited... I was waitin in the mess for almost an hour doin nothin as the smell didnt allow me to do anythin .....
Then it was almost time for class mech class and then quantum mech ...
So it was 1 ... Time for lunch ...
And time passed so quickly I didnt realize it was 2. So finally I thought chuck it, lets forget about sitting continuously for 8 hours and just try and finish the character table thing ....
As soon as I reached my office I checked the insti mail and found that since we had completely pissed off our math phy prof, (due to some ppl who didnt attend the lectures) he was planning to make it a reading course and wanted to meet us at 4.30pm at his room. Next there was a mail from the dean and he wanted to discuss this issue (the math phy prof had sent a copy of that mail to the dean...) and wanted a meeting at 3.30pm in our regular classroom. So I completely lost my mind!!!
So I thought I will work till 3 .....
And people kept knockin on the door looking for someone or the other!!! So no work!
After all the frustration and wasting time, finally at 5 I sat and it was again tea time ......
So went for tea... Then by 6 I had to go to buy fruits and came back by 7 after which a zillion phone calls .... People didnt find any other time to call!!!!
And then the day ended by dinner and a peaceless sleep!
Moral of the story: Either dont plan anythin or if you plan for somethin just get lost somewhere !!!!!
1) What is a character table?
ReplyDelete2) Find a place to sit where people can't find you. Keep a shotgun handy just in case.
3) Work for a set number of hours every day. Meet that even if you have to kill for it (\cite: Shotgun). Working every day means the results gets multiplied (as someone I know once told me).
4) It isn't polite to offend people by setting horiible colour themes.
For the character table i still havnt understood it so will work on it and then explain.....
ReplyDeleteThanx for the suggestions.....
