one econs essay down.
well, that's some work done for the day.
going off to do math tutorial in abit, but let's post a little something first.

i've been wondering, is it our fault that we've been going too easy on the sec 4s? perhaps in an attempt to reduce authority abuse/reliance, we've become too friendly with them and they take our requests as really casual requests, and not take it too seriously. so that's a wrong path that we walked down then?
i chose such a path to begin with because i didn't want it to be a mere work relationship, with the all so familiar senior-junior ordering around and everything. i wanted something closer, so that you could actually call them friends and so could they you. that they wouldn't fear/mind approaching you to chat/talk/ask questions about anything under the sun. it's probably rather idealistic of me, but that was my intention.
they might have been putting friend and authority too close to each other that their definition has become hazy. well, it might be time to widen that power gap then. if that's the way to make things work, then so be it.
in the end, i really just want them to see things (npcc) the way i do. is it really that hard a wish to make come true?

i do already have my answer of course. but we always wish that answers are mere guesses, and that our hopes are the real answers that we've been seeking. pretty far-fetched/ridiculous logic isn't it; men are like that. oh well.

next week's going to be a hectic one, so i won't dilly dally much longer around here..
