Bloody Bidding System

Don’t get me wrong I ain’t complaining, I got what I wanted (:p).

Apparently $11.84 in e-dollars is pretty much about it when I tried bidding for a particular module under the Global and Regional Studies category (credit goes to BabyMouse for the figure inspiration :D!). I am quite shocked to see that the minimum submission was actually only $10.00 e-dollars and the highest was $100.00 (talk about a lack of common sense :P). Anyhow I am relieved I did not deviate from the lowest amount too much.

I don’t understand why can’t they make life simpler by assigning us the modules, what a complete waste of time and effort AND deep analysis from previous bidding records..

So I got the module ‘Doing Business in China: Communication and Business Approaches’ which honestly, I don’t quite give a damn about (but it sounded edgier than ‘Tax Planning’ and other analogous modules). Christ why do we have to bid for these things when,

1. I don’t give a shit about investing in China
2. I don't even like China
3. In relation to the first and second point, I do not hate the Chinese as so
4. Even if I do go into China, I won’t need a separate course to prepare myself (besides my company would be in great state therefore I am expanding AND I could easily hire a Chinese correspondent).

I even got my ad ready.

5. I am Chinese for god’s sake (‘Doing Business in India’ would actually make more sense)
6. Factually, I don’t think my company would invent things that China will need
7. I don't even like the sound of "Made in China"
8. The laborers and factories in Korea are really getting cheaper so it's a good alternative
9. No business how to go China?
10. I can't imagine life in China

Anyway at least it fits well in my time schedule and I still get to keep Mondays free.

And anyway I am supposed to be celebrating since I am accepted so I do not have to go through the bid process again (and I get to complete this module with a couple of good friends I made :D). My first class starts tomorrow and perhaps, just perhaps, I will be convinced that this module could be useful after all.

But tell me, what are the odds?
