Being ill is never easy

Getting life back on track after a several days of tackling a persistent flu isn't easy. I'm not as efficient as I normally would be, neither am I as awake, despite my valiant attempts to be. I'm not getting it but still I try.

Someone in the office has sent me an article from the Korean Times for my causal reading. I wonder who that person is. I have read the article about company Unions but it really doesn't have any bearing on my current portfolio. Strange, the sender must know me in person. Otherwise, how would he know whom to address it to?

And why Korean Times? Why not something from the Straits Times or Today? Something that is spatially relevant? Why a Korean article? I don't work in Korea. I do not know many koreans... at least I do not count them as friends. And why me?

Strange. But then... stranger things have happened and continue to happen.

There is that blowout post that I wrote last week in my disgruntled attempt to come into grips with my temper over the actions of a very persistent Lesbian admirer. I believe the person has finally gotten it into her head that I do not like the attention I was getting and I believe that she has finally decided to leave me well alone.

Some of my friends find my "Love" problems fascinating and funny whilst others share my horror and disgust. I say it not without a measure of seriousness. Yes, I feel utter disgust at this person especially at her evasiveness when it came to admission of her preferences. Her actions were clear of course... it was that of a butch, a lesbian.... but the bugger refused to admit it. Said that she didn't identify??

What-the-f**k does you don't identify mean? It can either be a Yes, a NO or she's Bisexual. It cannot be "I don't identify". She's confused maybe.

I sought counsel from an openly Lesbian friend. Haiz... that was a lesson in futility.
YS came up with the answer that "u are too attractive liao... tats y she dun wan to give up". redundant.

I pray that butch isn't trying to cause an issue between a mutual friend and I. Our problems are our own and I think that putting a mutual friend in a difficult position is not the way. I am difficult, yes. But that is in response to her overtly friendly advances. Pulling out from volunteering in an event is not earth shattering enough to cause you to be issued with a warning letter from your boss. How do I know? I spoke to her boss today regarding the matter. HC was in no way angry. She was reasonable and asked for some time to get a replacement. All perfectly reasonable and aboveboard.

I asked SL what she would have done had she been in my shoes. After some consideration, I think she agreed that what I did was perfectly reasonable and standard protocol.

Anyway, I think this issue will continue to unfold further.
