untitled is right

Yesterday I set out to get some answers to why I have not been paid for three months at UWI. I caught the head of department at the right moment to ask about the matter and what I was told was a labyrinth of words without any substance. Then the co-ordinator made a comment to me that sent me down the rabbit hole like Alice in Wonderland. I left the school feeling really dispondent. But then when I finally got into the relative comfort of a maxi-taxi, I was better for it. As I write now, I am fuelling all that I have heard into one question for myself and that question is, how am I planning to use this perceived adversity to my advantage? I can sit and mope about all that has happened, or I can see it as an opportunity. I choose to do the latter. I have been here many times with the school, but this time feels like the worst one ever. As I mentioned, I sat with myself and took the lay of the land in. I have had a busy year, that is for certain. The first half started strong and very promising. This part of the year is more challenging. I would like the whole year to be strong and I would like the year to be years and years and decades instead of a chirip, chirip kind of situation...or as the other saying goes, drip, drip, drip of a situation. In order to do so, I found myself thinking that I would be so satisfied if I could do all that I presently do, but with money guaranteed into it. WIth money coming in that I can plan around...invest, save, plan, then I would feel the greatest sense of satisfaction. My plan now is to make that happen.
