Good day or bad day?

This morning John and I participated in a video meeting with the people at the headquarters. The meeting was about how to report effectively the improvements implemented on the sample that was sent to U company after the first sample failed to get their approval. I am really bad at concentrating and especially in video meetings, it's much more difficult for me. At EnE, I even fell asleep in a meeting once and the president got angry and went out of the room.:) However, it was very important for me to concentrate during the meeting this morning because I had to make the report reflecting everybody's opinion by myself since Frank wasn't there. In the middle of the meeting, Mr. Dong, the director asked me about something and I only heard him calling my name but not what was said before my name. I was perplexed and remained quiet for a few seconds but he just kept talking. Whew~ How good it is that I am still young and not expected to know about everything! After that, they discussed the report I made and sent them via email. All of a sudden, everybody started saying my name to present their opinions about the report I made. "In the report Lee Kyounghye si made, ...", "Lee Kyounghye si summarized...", "Like Lee kyounghye si wrote,..." It felt weird but good at the same time. My attention level just surged up and I felt the sense of responsibility. Yes, it was an interesting feeling. Obviously people pay more attention when their names are called.

About ten minutes before it became 6pm, Changjoon started to ask people if they could go for drinking after work. Actually I was going to buy a birthday cake for my brother-in-law and go to my sister's place after work but my sister said she had some relatives coming to celebrate his bitrthday so I decided to go another time. Changjoon came up to me and said "We are going out for drinking. Why don't you come?". I said "It's my brother-in-law's birthday today so I...". Even before I finished, he went back to his desk. I felt really bad about him even though I was lying. He looked very disappointed but I didn't understand why he got so disappointed. We are not even close and I don't think they really need me to join them. He said "Is your brother-in-law more important than me?" Ha!!! He asked me if I have met his Chinese wife who is even younger than me (Changjoon is 36 or something and a typical ajossi.). I said no. Maybe he wanted to show his young and allegedly pretty wife to me. But as I said, we are not that close and I am not really interested in his wife although I am curious about a Chinese wife living in Korea. After that, Kurt asked me again if I would join them. How annoying!! I knew they went out for drinking last night. And tonight again. I really feel sorry for their families. If my husband was like that, that would be horrible. No, I wouldn't pick such a man for my husband. If they had asked me a few days in advance or even a day in advance, I could have considered it although I don't want to. They have no idea how to respect personal time. Why do I have to act like I am sorry for not being available for them?? This is awful, really. These moments make me hate Korea.
I came home via Homeplus. I bought some chocolate chip cookies and grapes. The grocery section was filled with all sorts of chocolates for the SAT tomorrow. It lightens me up just looking at them.:) I saw some green grapes next to the purple ones but they are simply too expensive. It made me miss the seedless grapes in Australia that I loved as well as mangoes.
I came home and ate some vanila-cream cookies, chocolate chip cookies and an apple. It seemed my appetite had gone down since I was sick last month but recently my craving for sweet food has been activated again. I should look good for the exhibition.:(
Coughing continues. Cold medicines don't seem to work. Please go away.
