What's the info?

The co-op supermarket should have the motto never restock, as that seems the most appropriate for it, even though lack of cheese is disappointing. Maybe it is for the better as I notice that I have been devouring cheese at a rapid rate and feel a little rounder this week. Well I got home today from teaching and I heard this chain clanking and other sounds on the roof and it really took me by surprise and as I went up there I saw the maintenance crew hitting the boxing bag instead of fixing air conditioners. So feeling relieved that no one was trying to steal my bag I returned to my room and thought about how deafening it must be in my room when I do this for about 12 minutes a couple of days a week. Oh well, I think that is why I put it above my room.

Once I returned to my room, and started to edit my photos my computer turned off because it was too hot. I was furious, as those guys were supposed to be fixing the air conditioners and were hitting my bag. I realised that I had been cooking slowly since I finished work. My air conditioners haven’t worked since around x-mas and it was supposedly repaired on the weekend. I exploded so much that since I couldn’t do any work here I went on the roof and let out a lot of frustration on the bag.



The boxing bag waiting to be filled more.



The only other thing I will talk about this week is information and how it is used. As you might have saw, bad information about the Chinese and American sharemarkets led to a drop around the world markets of about 2-3 % (China was about 9%). It is amazing how powerful and important information is. When I was in class last week I noticed that the students all looed tired and saw that they told me that they had classes in the morning all week. I didn’t know why until I told them that they should be ready for a quiz. They were getting teachers from HCMC to teach them for two weeks and the other teachers new this in advance and had made sure that they would not finish late. Aaaghh! If I had of known this I would have asked them to have a morning class too. It looks like once again I will take longer to finish my classes than all the other teachers. I must start to look to find out were all this information is stored otherwise I will be here beyond the end of my contract.
