I feel so damn incompetent.
Yesterday i received an email from Grace and another research assistant, Uj, requesting my help to do some printing. Uj forwarded all his journal articles for me to print, as he had a tight deadline to meet and couldn't spare time to print on campus. When i arrived i saw that he had 32 articles!! 32 freaking articles, all nice and shiny and properly referenced etc.
What did i have? 8 articles. 2 of them irrelevant after some brief reading. So it's actually 6.
:(
So after i submitted to Poon, i saw my miserable pile of articles, particularly woe-begone beside Uj's mountain of a stack. I think she wasn't really pleased coz i'm pretty much rubbish... 8 articles. Sighhhh.
Gah! I have another task for Poon about mobile banking. Must work much harder this time!
Anyway, after printing out a at least 500 pages of single-paged articles, one of the researchers in the printing room taught me this magic trick that the printer could do, which was auto-staple! Wtf!! I knew some printers could do this but didn't expect one in the printing room! But it was too late anyway, as i had only 2 more articles left.
I ended up manually sorting out each article and stapling them with the help of Poon.
Argh crud. Which reminds me i need to find taxation articles for freaking Ms Pak as well. Research assistants are such whores, aren't they? Escorts of academia.
