I Wonder

I really don’t understand the following:
  • Why some people will simply tend to ignore instructions,
  • Leave a mess around or rendering a machine unusable unless a professional comes to take a look at it without informing the person in charge,
  • Use the last or last few items and not bothering to inform the person in charge of the low level in supplies,
  • Not checking the physical aspects of the machine that they are using and kick a big fuss over something that can be easily settled with the change of a switch (and of course, insisting that that particular switch was on when questioned),
  • Trying to hide behind a higher authority,
  • Having double standards,
  • Not checking with a manual/guidebook/person in charge when doing that particular item,
  • Calling for help with a problem previously encountered and making it sound like it’s the end of the world (without applying what was advised the first time round).
  • Trying to appear that one knows what is to be done but like I said, TRYING (when the person is not the one in charge of the item, although obviously trying to be helpful)
  • And so on and so forth, but these are the matters that are bugging me at the moment.
Of course, I'm not going to say that don't do things that are specified above, obviously I'm guilty of that, as and when. But sometimes there is just that when these items happen very frequently, it just irks the hell out of me, especially when it was not the first time that it happened, with reminders being sent out and all.

If help is called for every time a slight problem occurs and the help desk personnel have to be physically there all the time, then there will be a need for a cloning and combining machine! Cos like they say, It never rain but pours!

Take a Bow

Yes, I love fun, going out and plain old having fun.

Do not like sharing inner thoughts and feelings easily. Want to know me better? It's not something that is done in hours, days or even weeks of meeting anybody, or AnyBody or ANYBODY.

I am not a machine whereby you press a button and I'll spill everything out. Press a button? System will overload, and might not respond to Alt + Ctrl + Delete.

Overstress it? It'll breakdown and there would be a need to reformat it.

Take it, or leave it.



I love the song Take a Bow, performed by Rihanna.

It's not the lyrics that apply to me, of course. But the way whereby it was sung, having those sounds that she was able to carry out, like those exasperated Please, self directed resigned laughter and sighs.

She sounds like being resigned to fate that that has to happen, after seeing through it all.

Sometimes I feel the same way, but then again, showing those emotions in front of others would only prompt questions that does not help as decisions may already have been made.
