The End Is Near Part Deux

Hello my pretty elves!!!

I can't believe i have not blogged in soo sooo long!!!!.......hope i can be more regular from now on *cough*

So the thesis has finally been submitted *yay me!!!!!* and at the moment i'm just busy (or supposed to be....) preparing for conferences and writing manuscripts for submissions, which is quite the drag cos i'm really tired of using my brains

And speaking of drag.....conferences are just that! Plain-ass booooring! I mean i know the purpose is supposed to be updating oneself on what is going on in your field of interest, but what kills me is the fact that people who go for these things...or rather the majority of them...are incapable of talking bout anything else!!! I mean i would love to know about you and your country as well, not just the number of papers you've published!

I swear i'm 2 seconds away from slipping into a coma......thinking of sex usually helps revive me, thank god! And at least there are the food-breaks to look forward to, which is plentiful....me likey!

Oh and if there is one thing i hate the most about conferences, it's the fact that people are there to do networking

NETWORKING

That's just a bad word in my dictionary. My lecturers are constantly pushing me to do this but i hate the fact that i'm supposed to make friends with someone for the sake of what benefit this person could be of to me. Just seems very, for want of a better word, 'parasitic' i guess. So i tend to avoid going for the dinners they have at night and prefer instead to laze in my comfy hotel room in my undies vegging out on junk food and star movies....hee hee....it's true....the real reason i go for these conferences is cos i get to stay in fancy hotels for free!!! Muahahahahaha. And next week i get to stay at Sheraton Imperial. Yay! The downside is that i can't use the pool cos most of the delegates will be staying in the same place and i don't want them to know i am rearing a whale under my clothes :(
But perhaps i can sneak off into the jacuzzi......hmmmm........

Anyways i will hopefully be visiting soon.

Missed you guys!!!

Welcome back elf leader.

Bloody networkers...a bunch of charmless and usually talentless nurks who spend their time trying to get other people to do things for them and hope nobody notices they're incapable of doing anything themself.

sabrina said...

Jaya : I know right!! I hate it with a passion

GB : The ladies have missed you very very much Bananas :)

Scurf : "Elf leader"....me likey :p

You know i think you couldn't have defined them better....that seems to be the main purpose for them isn't it....getting other people to do their bullshit work for them, then taking all the credit for it....i have recently found this out the hard way.....eejits!

Otter said...

I feel your pain. Im an elementary art teacher and have to attend so many workshops I tend to black out for periods of time. Unfortunately, they counter this by making us play games throughout, heartless animals.

sabrina said...

MKL : Missed ya too luv!

Otter : Eeeks the worst are the games....with boring strangers....poor you!!!

Thanks for visiting :)
