I was feeling a little depressed about monday while walking home last night....then I saw a whole bunch of botaks on their way back to camp.

Life suddenly seemed so much better.

morning everyone~~~

new week to go...

fudgester SG

I just got to my lab at St John's island.

One of my students emailed me at 11.50pm last night asking me for a consultation at 10am today.

I replied to him:

I need to be at an offshore lab today. I can see you on either Tuesday or Thursday instead.

Please take note:

1. Please don't shoot me a last minute email literally at the 11th hour the night before you want a consultation the following morning.

2. I have a proper name; please don't address me as 'tutor'. Not trying to sound arrogant, but you need to display a certain etiquette when addressing tutors and lecturers who teach you in this university.

Am I being a little too harsh on the fella?

^Acid^ aka s|aO^eH~ SG

oh wait...

suddenly I'm in a fantastic mood~~~~

Let's hope it keeps up for the whole of today~~!!!!

well, i have to say that unless it is an official title like "Director", people should address others by either their name, or Mr XX, Miss XX, Mdm XX or just Sir or Mdm... else it would be... kinda.. not right...

which is why "Dear Valued Customer" rings hollow to me... if i was such a valued customer, could you not even address me by my name? or if you want to spam through snail mail, at least "Dear Sir"... in fact, "Dear Sir/Madam" is also idiotic to me.. trying to cover all bases and missing them all..

No. 1 was justified, but No. 2 is really minor. You could've said, 'You may address me as *** in future, and I would prefer it that way.'

I was also confused as a freshman as to how to address my lecturers. They told me it's normal to address them by their first names in an art environment. But it's probably not the same in the science, maths and engineering departments.

Did you try the breathing techniques?

fudgester SG

That's what I thought..... if it was an official rank or title such as 'Chairman', or 'Sergeant', I don't see a problem with that.

I actually don't mind my students calling me by name without a 'Mr' in front. Some of them call me 'Sir', and I find that weird, but at least it sounds respectful. But 'tutor' just doesn't sound right.

More to the point, I was amused at how the fella thinks that he can email me just before 12 midnight for a 10 am consultation the next morning. Basket.... he thinks I can just suka-suka clear my schedule at such short notice ah?

cassie SG

Did you try the breathing techniques?

yup - a bit of meditation but my mind was buzzing onto work.

ShrodingersCat SG

My lecturers would often tell us at the first session specifically how to address them -

I remember one specific one who specified 'You can call me Brian, or you can call Dr Snow. But Don't call me Mr Brian Snow or Mr Brian or Mr Snow'
