The Logistics of Hot Or Cold Transfer

They were conferring about logistics and that sort of process. I thought logistics is about logic, it’s the root word, I guess and business. Maybe that’s what IBM stands for: International Business Modules. Or Machines. Or Measures.
I honestly don’t know what IBM means. .whehehe. .except that it’s a computer company or manufacturer or something.
“Do you have a free time?” Miss Sara was saying which promptly provided Sir A a silent hesitation. Gee. .I didn’t want to offend Ms S but a teacher doesn’t have a free time. I’m telling the truth, based on how much most of my teachers ended up all lonely and forlorn implanting life’s virus-free ideas, debugging dangerous threats and fixing those neuro-circuits from little kids heads such as mine. It takes just a couple of hours to fix machines, but a lifetime to fix deranged humans. That’s a personal risk every teacher has to take. But anyway, how does Ms S know? She’s an IBM volunteer; she always has a free time.
Anyway, I haven’t done listening to her after picking up those cryptic words such as logistics. I couldn’t discern what this was all about. It was all too. .techie. .no, no. .too grown-up. Too inexplicable, too BIG for another brain space consumed for pondering its significance inside my short circuited head. Like I said, grown-up stuffs.
If you’re wondering why I was there in the first place is that because I was waiting for the PTA Treasurer to transfer some “transactions”. Grown-up stuffs. Aaarggghh!
“So how do you transfer the Ps into another account?” inquired Mrs Treasurer.
“The usual, I guess,” I replied thinking she must have known how to handle transactions since she’s already a working girl-slash-mother. Hello, Mrs T, grown-up stuffs!
“I need to know how you transfer it. . .”
“Uhmmm..cold transfer?” I said before I could think of anything else. Cold transfer and hot transfer, I read that somewhere. .Maybe some kind of instructions from the shower.
“What conditions must be abided for the transaction, what methods are necessary?”
I didn’t quite get that. Did she mean logistics?
Sometimes I’m an idiot when it comes to this grown-up stuff. So I had to seek Maam Beth, a 20-something gal who manages lots of stuffs between grown-up and not and also obtained a degree – not bad –, the link between students and parents, Consultant for PTA affairs.
Ms B and I tried to explain about the normal way we use in transferring Ps thru a simple formula.
Student Treasurer Withdraws (Yours truly) = Parent Treasurer Deposits (Mrs T)
Later I learned from Ms B that Mrs T was working on a coop. Not our school coop, but a still a coop.
I wonder what logistics they have in there. a) Something hot. b) Or cold. c) Or something old?Labels: grown-ups, jumpy, ken chua, priority, school, student council
