And There Goes GEP
GEP has been scrapped. Goodness knows since when. I obviously don't read the papers =D. In fact, I found out from this from Malcolm who found out from a blog. Licai reads the papers and he knew but he didn't bother to tell me.
THEY TOOK AWAY MY GEP SHELTER!!!! NOOOOO!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!
Wait... It's been gone for almost 10 years now. Hmm... Has it? Did I ever think of it as my shelter? Did I ever subconsiously think it was my shelter? Did I ever use it as a shield to defend myself from the harsh reality out there, consciously or not?
Seriously doubt that, but I shall continue to use my place in that programme shamelessly in resumes, just as I shall use the name Raffles if I feel it can land me a job.
After all, there HAS to be SOME benefit in being labelled as such, with the the public always having something negative to say about us. Just look at this post for the latest gossip about my beloved RJC. Girl was from GEP too, and my secondary school to boot!
To feel embarrassment or indignance? Nah... Neither... Too used to people from my school being shot down by others because of their actions. Always has been, always will be. Definitely not on her side, but hey, I've got enough little kids with elitist ideas bothering me already.
Oh and if any of you decided the answer to my question in my previous post (the one in the 2nd last paragraph) was yes, Ernie wants you to know she is laughing at you; if you thought the answer was yes, Ernie is merely giggling at you. I have told her many times that she should not laugh (publically) at people, but I have to stop her from laughing constantly (and spawning 8 cards of Clubs in my hand when I cannot declare a makeable Club game or slam contract with them), and she has agreed to this compromise.
