So some genius thought it would be a good idea to renew all carpeting of the whole floor. There are bigger, more decent, cleaner companies that don't do that. Must be 风水 again.
Well, obviously, I have to redo the Lab. I'll bill 1 hour in the morning and 2 hours (8-10pm) today, just for rearranging, will be billing for another round for wiring and stuff.
A good side to this is when Lisa saw me arranging, she emphasized a different arrangement which would appear to have been simpler and more elegant. I think we (Nadia?) thought of that before but for some reason, we abandoned that arrangement. It's so simple we wouldn't have missed it. It was probably one of those so close but yet not doable moment. This time, having a creative seating plan to the front of the class (seating at side of table instead of the front), everything seems to fall into place. Definitely much better than before.
I need to do this by this Saturday, TOEFL time. Then perhaps send a photo to ETS/Prometric as an update of the test center.
I feel that I am fresh out of good ideas lately. Overworked by something else. Not too tired, but overworked. Perhaps I should look into the rest Alex spoke so fondly about. Not the way he lives it, however. I should be an "actively" approachable person, instead of a passive one. There are some examples, such as Tante Lyna, etc. Their good and bad, filter out the bad ones.
