WOW WOW WOW Bulletin

08 February 2013

This WOW Bulletin affair is testing my patience. I really want it out of my responsibility list. I made innumerable changes and I hope it becomes a final piece. My morning and afternoon gone for that newsletter; have I made any outstanding changes? I hope so. Tutelage from both June and Paul was definitely indispensable. Seeing its evolution from the first print-out to the present one showed how much invaluable their inputs are.

My lunch break was a surprise. After rushing out printing the newsletter (disturbing June in the process because I still can’t download the HP K209a driver and make it install the software for the printer) for our research associate’s revision, I met DJ! The entire morning I was pressured on polishing the newsletter because our research associate arrived early today. The print-out only materialized by 11:30. I left for lunch, 11:40. I was so relieved it was out of my desk already then I saw someone who would make me happy! (She’s my 2^nd level buddy. My immediate junior buddy was Clang whom I also met at the CPH Annex this evening.) During our lunch together, we met Sarah and Regis. I am glad I made DJ laugh hard when I told her she seemed like the type of person who would bubble wrap a breakable item twice, with the second bubble wrap layer (the outermost) serving the purpose of protecting the first layer from popping out. I also had time to accomplish the bank transaction I planned to do yesterday.

And for a side comment, Chéf  Boy Logro is inarguably of Filipino descent. It is reflective of his life chant: Yum Yum Yum. That thought’s brought about by me seeing his magazine with that title. (It is natural for Filipinos to be into repeating syllables, having pet names such as Mai-Mai, Jun-Jun and the like.)

I am convinced of how much this WOW Bulletin affects me. In my dream last night, June and Paul were still teaching me on how I should edit it. Oh common, WOW Bulletin, give me a break. Don’t visit me even in REM sleep.
