What I learnt today

Is .. that sending emails to my boss.. is the same as not sending emails to him at all. I've been made aware that I'd have to go up and poke him, but... seriously. Do I have to fucking handhold someone to do something/request for input?

Well I guess the usual "If your boss is late.. it means he's been working late the whole night. If you're late, you're lazy" thing works here. He may be super busy... but .. busy until cannot even ever reply? Does he even read the emails I send? /facepalm.

Whatever. I just send the email. That's my duty.

Over the years.. My MO has changed to be somewhat of a "If I tell you something which I think should be corrected, and you don't ever do it, the most I do is tell you a few times. Then .. whatever. It's your onus."

That's not to say I'm right. Before people say I too arrogant =p

For eg. I've been helping my friend work on his website cos his FL is bloody irresponsible. My method has always been teaching the person how to do something, rather than doing it for him. I can do this once or twice for you, but don't think you can rely on me (unless you're paying me!). If you don't want to learn.. then that's your business. (Not to say that he isn't!!)

So, I (will try) never nag. At most I'll mention it a few times. Like, have you done this and that? Didn't you say you were doing it? If you still don't do it. Then too bad. I won't bother anymore. It's your life. Your choice. Your onus.

When I wait for you, don't expect me to wait forever. You say okok after this game .. but then play another .. and another. Screw that. I'm going home.

Hmz, if I sound angry, well that's cos I am.. I'm always angry :@ There's this strong latent anger and impatience which throbs inside.

Basically I keep feeling that there's no more time. And well actually there isn't! It's always marching onward and onward, and I still feel like a fucking entry level dude =.= urghz

There are people who prefer to do the same job day in day out... Get pay, increment, bonus and they are happy. They aren't wrong. But somehow I don't see myself doing that. I don't want to be Faceless Peon #2451511341. I was reading on CNA about the Mas Selamat case. A few peeps got fired cos of that.

So a bad thing happens, and they become the fall guys. Naturally no one wished for it to happen, but shit happened, and they were axed. What happens to them? Do they have enough money to pay for the housing loan? Their kid's education? Their car? Would it be easy for them to get another job? Would any security firm hire them (well since they are dealing with security, I'm assuming security firms)?

I don't want to be in the mercy of that..

Well sure, you can say .. hrm My job dun have any Mas Selamat lah, surely won't axe one. But .. you never know what happens. What if your company gets bought out? Or too low profits (or losses), and like Sun, to make the shareholders happy, just axe a bunch of employees? Shareholders are always happy when companies X ppl, but are the ppl happy? What are their plans?

So yeah .. time's running out.

Too many people just prefer to live everyday as it is. Go to work .. get paid... go home .. eat.. sleep .. whatever. Next day.. same shit. It's not wrong. Just.. BLAH. I don't want to live like that. I believe I can do more than that..

Hopefully.

Yes we can.

New Shoes!

My Capitaland card is actually (finally) useful! Old shoes were opening their alligator mouths and I had to buy new shoes. Thank goodness I didn't buy them last week when I saw them cos the sale just came this week. And lo DBS actually mailed me that my Capitaland card can get 15% discount, even for discounted items..

In the end, I bought 2 pairs of shoes, and sadly .. none of them were discounted items.. The discounted stuff are too cheesy...

But at least.. new shoes!

And did you know .. Bata is actually an international company .. lol I always thought it was just an SG company .. =x

Failed wannabe yuppie?

So today, I learnt that members is pronounced as memberls. Highly irregular, since I don't remember seeing an L anywhere in M E M B E R. I don't care what you want to sound like, american, british or singaporean.. But there's NO L IN MEMBERS.

That is all.

Stop the presses!

Omg! She's actually home when I reached home. Amazing. However I'm willing to bet everything, including my future munni, that she'll be out and will be probably back (probably? lol) by 3 or 4am

So I've been asked this question by a smartass. Eluding to the lateness in which dinner was made available.

The question was thus: Ask yourself, what time did I eat yesterday?

So the answer: Well at least I've never eaten FIRST then bought dinner back at my own leisure pace for you. Whereas you can happily be eating first with your friend (yes friends sure are important) while your sister is waiting at home starving for food.

Ask yourself another question too: Is it too overwhelmingly hard to drop an sms or something if you suddenly decide to stay overnight at some random place?

Get married already.
