Clarification on deadlines
Posted on March 14, 2007
Filed Under General |
I decided to post this as I think there must be some misunderstandings around here. So I just thought I would clarify.
1- If you read my original post (Deadlines) correctly, and as I stated several times in the comments, I WAS NOT complaining, but asking what do other people do in these situations; work late nights or go to bed and start fresh in the morning. And from that, you should realise that I know this happens with most people otherwise I wouldn’t have asked the question. Most people seemed to have understood this, based on the vast majority of replies that I received.
2- Obviously people don’t know what I do in my room every minute of the day, so I should clarify that I DO work some weekends and late night hours. I’ve done this several times. Just because I am not on campus it doesn’t mean I am not working. And just because I believe that some other things, such as your mental health, are more important than work, it doesn’t mean I will not work, or work less than other people.
3- You should not always expect the same levels of work from people when they are ill! I do not believe that people can work at 100% in these cases. And I’m sure that people who are or have been in the same situation understand that.
4- As I wrote already, I know there are a lot of people in much worse situations who complain a lot less than some people who actually do nothing else but complain all the time. To me that seems a bit hypocritical.
5- It is obvious that some people will have to work on weekends if they do little or nothing at all during the normal working hours! Again this applies only to some people, not all!
6- It seems like some people have taken this subject a bit too seriously, and seem to keep wanting to refer to it, even though they are not really understanding what I write. If the subject is so important, I would suggest that you speak directly to me, as friends should do and as should have been done before any comment in public (at least that is how I act with people I consider my friends!!!). That way, any misunderstandings, as they have obviously happened, will be rapidly solved.
Because it would seem that people were not comfortable with the idea of speaking directly to me, which surprises me a bit, I have tried to explain things with comments. It obviously didn’t work! So from now on it’s my way: face to face!!
I am a bit tired of trying to explain things and people not understanding, therefore I will not reply to any more comments made on this weblog about deadlines.
Also I will not allow my reputation to be tarnished by observations that are not even true or not explained in the right context! I have my limits! And I also I can only tolerate so much hypocrisy.
Move on!
P. S. - Fortunately, the people who know me, and therefore the ones that matter, know how things REALLY happen.

Estás preparada para quando a bomba (não vou dizer o nome dela senão à salta-lhe à vista e lá vais tu ter qu traduzir…) rebentar?
Dá atenção ao que realmente merece a tua atenção. Cada um tema sua visão de si próprio e dos outros. Devias preocupar-te menos com a que os outros têm de ti e fazeres as coisas mais para ti própria.
Hey Cat,
didn’t realise this was such a sensitive issue with you. I was just commenting cos thats what ppl do on a blog. I only replied in writing instead of talking to you cos the way you are at the moment i don’t know whether you are actually listening in conversations. Because you don’t hear/don’t remember a lot of things ppl talk about or say. Also you’re so emotional that you might cry about trivial things if i spoke to you about them, so i just don’t bother talking cos you are only going to get upset with me.
Obviously you are upset at me for writing my opinion - its not like i hid my name or anything, you know that it is me so i don’t really see the problem.
