The Inconsiderate people rant
It's been a while since I updated. Or even ranted. Busy busy busy. Busy doing shit work, busy pretending doing shit work, etc etc.
So anyway, the couple of things that have been happening that pissed me off and hopefully not piss me off any longer are:
a. inconsiderate students who think they own the place.
now imagine being holed up in a fish tank with approx 20 monkeys and some remotely human monkeys (let's face it, even the better ones still monkey around when you're not looking), and your boss (not really boss but still) insist you keep discipline in this fish tank. And said boss sits next door. And can see monkeys being monkeys. Also, I have a low tolerance rate because:
1. I already feel useless in this job, making me sit with monkeys is just emblazoning I'm more useless etc etc, and said monkeys like to point out the fact that I do nothing but "close doors and tear wraps off chairs" (I feel obliged to say said sentiments do not apply to the other unfortunate (or maybe not so) place-mate, I can't even call it a room, it's another box. Just less blacker)
2. Other staffs have own room. Even though said room is fish tank with makeshift cover and some said staff are same rank as me (tho more senior obviously). Don't blame said staff. Their boss obviously not a discipline control freak of some sort. Just another weirder more abstract sort...
3. I feel exposed. Even if they build a 2m high wall blocking out monkeys, I don't feel safe leaving my things lying around. Which is why I double check triple check my belongings and lock before I leave. Usually I leave my stuff hanging about. Talk about paranoia.
4. These monkeys have no sense of voice control or discipline. Previously, the other students (noisy but possess sense of right and wrong) would tone down when warned. And there was respect. But said monkeys... What can I say, there's a few reason why humans can invent gadgets to wipe out monkeys. They possess none of those reasons. Said monkeys will probably end up being some insurance agent of some sort. Anyway they have 1 more week before I kick their asses GG.
b. Even now, there are people older (or abit younger) than me who sees nothing wrong with standing at the staircase landing hogging up the place. Someone should just shove them down. Remove hazardous obstacles.
c. This is the reason why epidermic spread so easily. Uncles like to hold the handrails of the train with both hands (maybe for balancing or airing their pits, I don't wish to know), and so their hands are definitely occupied, which gives them the excuse to cough (loudly, with specks of phlegm and saliva) at innocent passengers around them. One of them being me. Even though I glared at said inconsiderate, selfish, unhygienic, barbaric, rude, mediocre uncle several times, said uncle happily coughed away. Then some stupid teenager with the same double-hand-holding-bar habit started coughing. Without covering. And with extra ingredients. Kami-sama bless us not to have another Sars attack for they intend no harm but to merely use both hands to prevent other passengers that are unable to balance already (me) from holding the bars.
d. Yes clients are kings, etc etc. But the kind of clients that definitely deserve good quality works are the ones who:
1. understand the product/service they are getting
2. understand their own products/services (you'll be surprised)
3. communicates properly
4. supplies accurate and relevant information, open to questions service-provider might have
5. do not insist (repeatedly, once or twice is understandable) on something impossible within a tight schedule, even though there were valid reasons to reject said impossible task
6. do not readjust tight schedule to make it tighter (no reasons given)
7. do not spam edits like it's water. We're humans too, Your money isn't big enough to buy our sanity and health and above-mentioned monkeys' well-sacrificed lives
7. announces last min (fully edited, rendered) that they want a video for a 4:3 TV, not widescreen. Hurrah
If there are such clients, Kami-sama you are doing your job after all. Just let them be my clients.
Meanwhile, I will put my game face on, and wait for V-Day. To whom it may concern, I expect alot from you, since you made me anticipate it so much. *evil grin*
