Redneck

Funny when you were in a working society, all you know was to talk about work related topics. Work loads, red tape, paycheck, taxes, EPF, all those topic that seems remote and alien to you a few years back. No matter you were hanging out at a bar, having dinner with your friends, chit chatting with your girlfriend or even on the phone with your spouses, the subject wouldn’t stray too far.

Yes, there’s an occasional talk in between about football or tsunami or anything rather then what happened in your office cycle, but it’ll eventually come back to “did your boss treat your right” or “do they pay your OT” so on and so forth. It’s like throwing a boomerang out in the open. These topics would be your second to none priority in any conversation because it’s always work with a big fat W that lingered, running back and forth in your brain section. It’s a normal symptom I conclude so nothing much you can do about it.

Conclusion denied. Still have loads of complaining to do, so bare with me for a sec. So, all and all, I have 2 things that bothered me the most.

• Work piles. Its include, black and white, beyond logic procedures, next to stupid policy, systems from the year 200 BC.

How to handle it?

I actually don’t have that much of a problem with even though the amount of it are hypothetically twice my head. It’s the tools and workflow that generated all the fuss. But end of the day, you’ll finish it off and it will be done and dusted. “Slowly but surely”.

• Annoying people.

This is what complicates the matter. In fact, these 2 problems have a strong correlation.

How to handle it?

This, by all mean cannot be solved. You can’t just “finish” them off. They are super Homo sapiens, a hybrid species that make out today and get a triplet tomorrow. You can’t shackle them off your shoulder because they’ll be around even thought you are seeking refugee in Alaska.

Seriously, how exactly to handle it?

No chance. You just have to live with it.

How I pray for the day that I can just Ctrl+Alt+Delete them. Oh, and emptied my trash bin too.
