irritated

something so ridiculous happened today tat i'm compelled to blog about it despite my apparent loss in interest for blogging..

as such i shall temporarily interrupt my hiatus to narrate the ridiculousity...


Prolouge

at my workplace, there's this mdm.. (female non-commisioned officer)..
she occasionally shows attitude towards the people-serving-2-years.. there was once during lunch i left my water bottle in her office and i asked her for the keys so tat i could retrieve it, she said no and asked me to wait till lunch is over b4 to get the bottle back..

because according to her, lunchtime she wun work.. passing the keys to me to open the door is equivalent to working.. this clearly reflects the working attitude of certain (if not most) servants of the state..

fine.

Chapter 1 - Retribution

today, during last parade (i.e. before we leave) at about 520pm (bus is at 530pm), she comes to my immediate superior telling him she misplaced her camp pass wanting us to help her find..

and my rather timid ( cuz he's relatively new) superior instructed us to find the pass for her..

erm.. what. the. hell. ?

515 is 放工time leh! BANG4 GANG1!

in my mind i was thinking, since u cant work during lunch, why should i work for u after work?

ridiculous rite?

.dun care proceed to change...

and den i saw the female changing room, the lights was on.. (door closed).. i suspected that woman was changing to catch the 530 bus..


and i was right.


she emerged from the room at about 525 in her civilian attire while some of my colleagues were still busy searching for her pass. HOW ABSURD.

Chapter 2 - 回家

my blood already boiling at the absurdness..

dun care jus went home with some other medics.. took the 530 internal shuttle..


Chapter 3 - 赌懒 (du lan)

the most sickening thing, cuz she's a so called officer, outside camp, she gets priority queue to take the external bus to tanah merah.. and she took the 540 bus!!

damn it! pissed.. she is totally insensitive... ka na sai!

and the rest of us who managed to take the same internal shuttle bus took the 545 bus..

Epilouge

the only silver lining is tat she lost her pass..

and i hope she doesnt find it because its going to cost her $50 to get a replacement..

serves her right.



on a relatively unrelated note,

i still cant comprehend why replacing camp passes costs 50 bucks..
this seems to be the VERY common practise is a lot of camps..

its ridiculous cuz to me its unclear where the funds collected go to..

do they go to the unit making the pass?
or back to taxpayers pockets?

or that small piece of plastic costs $50?

or is the money donated to charity?

or to pay for gold taps?


i can understand that the excessive amt to replace a pass serves as a deterrent to reduce in the instances of pple misplacing their passes, but i think there shd be more transparency w.r.t. how the collected funds are utilised...

i mean, considering how greatly our govt advocates and promotes transparency......



back to hibernation...
