too late to fix a screw up

it sucks to realize that somebody's life has been made miserable because of your attitude. there's no salvaging the situation, our lacksadical attitude towards chinese did so much to disillusion her, to kill every last bit of passion she felt for the career that looked so promising for her. for that, i find nothing else to say but sorry.

i don't know if the main perpetrators are aware of what they have done, but judging by the less than considerate behaviour we've been observing around the orange tables lately, i would say not.

another screw up: it'd be a bonus if i manage to nab the position of QM. i couldn't even manage to convince MYSELF that i was up to the job during the elections today. thanks to all who tried to make it better afterwards.
