Fiction: Part 2

It’s 6.55pm. She lugs her laptop bag on one shoulder, her “Hermes Berkins'” on another, MR "bible" in one hand and walks down the stairs in her "Jimmy Choos’", wondering whether any of her followers are here already.

She enters the room and sets up the LCD projector for her sermon while waiting for the rest to arrive.

The time is 7:10pm. She decides that she cannot wait any longer. She mutes her phone and starts her sermon.

One by one, her followers arrive. Her sermon gets into full-mode. A question is asked but a totally irrelevant answer is given, leaving her doubting the contents of her sermon that she had been preaching. A cue is given but nobody responds. She wrings her hands in exasperation, wondering whether she had just preached to a bunch of mutes.

Nope, she’s not preaching a bunch of mutes. It is just that after a hardcore back to back torture in her class on Monday, Consumer Behaviour on Tuesday and Market Research class again (now), from cracking our brains to find points to reconcile with our CB assignment, to the interrogation for quiz answers that is due this weekend, the aftermath left us catatonic, slowed down the activity of every one's Central Nervous System and presented itself in her class.

She decides that she shall not admit defeat. She shall endure the aftermath to ensure that her followers don’t walk out without something gained from tonight’s sermon. She goes on and on and on…….

-END OF STORY-

May your desire to see the theories of Market Research pervade into the heads of your followers (especially the moderator of this blog!!!) be realized……..

-Posted in the midst of MR tutorial session.. SPSS lessons are getting harder and harder any minute. Interestingly, D’Building’s WiFi is working (though it lags at times)!!! (maybe they read my previous entry!!!!) hahaha- AS IF... More and more students are using their lappies instead if the lab's pc. I think it is for the same reason: We do not want our pen drives to be infected with virus.... My poor pen drive gets infected each time I insert it in the CPU!!! Anyway, got to go now, notes are awaiting....

PS: To my dear sister who trained me to become a bona fide omnivore, Happy Birthday….. I know that I might not be the first since you have always been a subject of competitive matter *applause* but at least I was the first who presented you with your birthday treat this year, right??
