I  feel ‘lucky’ in my job because i get to work and meet lots of ppl – from Bangla & Indon labours, admins, accountants, managers, engineers,CEO, COO, Dato’, Datin and some highly ranked officials.

Humans have never failed to amuse me, and i have came to a conclusion that the smarter (or atleast you think you are) the more amusing you are. Seriously, you don’t get funny shit from lowly educated people but those sitting up at the top or some kind of PhD holders and engineers, they give you some top quality shit. I shall call it my ‘perks’ from this job.

On a typical day, i get some emails from customers(smart ppl they are). Let me share with you what happened to me today.

…..

Case 1 :

Customer :Lets go with design B.  XXX will give you the appropriate photos for the report.  I want to see the complete final copy before we go to print . When can the complete copy be shown to us for proof-reading (assuming XXX gives you the photos within these couple of days)?

Read the question in italic. What kind of ‘question’ is this la? How are we suppose to know how long is your couple of days la,encik? If you can’t give me a date, how am i suppose to answer u la..

So if i would to answer you, i will just say …

Me : We will give you the complete copy after a couple of days after receiving the photos within this couple of days.

Well… it does not take a PhD holder or rocket scientist to know that my answer is not an answer.

Case 2

Me : How many seater van /mini bus you need?

Customer :Please explore first and from there I will decide.

One word – PENGSAN. Period.

…..

Sometimes i just don’t get it how some people work.

Takkan sudah siap berak baru nak cari jamban ! Serupa lap pungkok sebelum berak, londeh seluar selepas berak. Some minat kerja style terbalik.

I seriously think i should cut down my internet hours. Plan to catch up reading my photog magazines and learn something new.

GOAL 1 : For a start, 2 hours of internet after office hours (unless needed) on weekdays.

Internet is so fun, but sometimes it sucks big time.

TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING IS NOT GOOD.

Here is the Sick(six) List…

1. Hypocrisy - Generally i just cant stand hypocrisy anywhere. I do really appreciate people who are genuine and sincere. I do not need people who smile and say “Ok ok..sure can” but end up with something different.

Hypocrisy can be displayed in different manner, one that i see everyday – colleague acting all damn busy with messy tables accompanied with panting facial expression and heavy breathing like a asthma patient in need of inhaler after being chased by 16 freaking dogs infected by rabies.Well,this only happens when the boss walks into the office.

2. Double Standards - I know i know.. the world is never fair, but it has to be fair to a certain extend. If we are all one company, shouldn’t we all work under the same set of rules? Well some get exceptions, will most remain the same. Some seem to have unlimited leaves, some can come in at 12noon leave at 2pm, often miss work without excuses.

3. Acting Smart - Yaaa yaaa i know you are old, i know you have gone through so much in life. I know you think highly of yourself but the rest just don’t think like you.

Trying to be smart (when you are not) will make you a big fool, a very big fool. Be smart, but never act smart. It is obvious when you are just acting smart.

4. Inconsistency – To be a respected figure, you must be consistent with your words and actions. You cant expect to be respected by others when your words are just words. Words are like commitments, once said we take it for real. Don’t come changing words to suit your selfishness.

5. Pretending to be Forgetful - Oh sorry sorry..i forgot..oh sorry..really sorry. Sounds familiar? Annoy the hell out of me when one act like that. Either you are being irresponsible or trying to be very funny at work. No one is too busy or will ever neglect something if that bloody something is important.

6. I Don’t Know (go dig your nose then) - Why don’t you tell yourself that you are just not fit for the job? Damn, it is so shitted whenever someone tells me that he/she does not know something. There are lots of things that i don’t know as well, but i tell myself i have to know them because it is my responsibility. I have the responsibility to go find out, that is what we are paid for. Some people will just use the excuse – I DON’T KNOW to avoid anything given to them. They can run away from it but that just proves that he/she is not fit for the job.

More to come.. soon..

So everyone is telling everyone what they are going to do for 2010. For me, it will be simple.

1. Get fit – Eat well. Sleep better. More water intake. Sweat more.
2. Do what i love – Photography. Meeting people. Outdoor.
3. Holiday – 2 will be good.
4. Career – Think.Plan.Act.
5. A Web Project – Do.Do.Do.
6. Money – Save.Save.Earn more.Spend less.Spend less.
7. Family – Do more with love ones.Little things count.
8. Charitable – Help more.

People, do what you need to do soon (now) because you may not be able to do it if you wait. They say life is too short, i say life is too unpredictable….
