For 6 mths, I've been living in the adult world... And my conclusion is tt it's a real challenge for me to actually adapt, considering tt my adaptability quotient is rather low... I know, there's no such terms... But I'm trying to give a rating as to how well a person is able to adapt... So as to do standardisation... Of course, the scale is from 0 to 10... Or 0 to 100, depending on how precise you want it to be... And needless to say, 0 implies tt you're those hopeless case like the dinos in the Ice Age... While 100 means you're the roaches - totally adaptable and hence it's long life till now... For me??? I'll give myself a 45%, which translates to me being adaptable, but @ a slower rate as compare to nomral standards of 50%...
And it gets worse... With some major tranformations going on in my organisation, I've to re-adapt to the new environment once again... I say re-adapt because from the time I started working till now, I've switched appointments 2 times (in 6 mths!!!), switched working environment once... And now, I've to adapt to the new system tt's to be in place soon... Gee... Tt's a lot of changes tt's taking place in my life... Not to mention the even bigger change of student to adult life... I've no choice but to deal with it and I'm barely coping... My breaking point is near... I can feel it...
And to make matters worse, my head (not the one resting on my shoulders) is one demanding lady... She expects a lot from me as my appointment is the [Assistant Chief Clerk]... So what if I'm the [ACC]??? I don't know all the directives inside out and neither do I have the right to check who the heck gets posted in or out of the organisation... So how am I to make sure tt whatever notices tt's printed out is up to date??? Sure, it's checked by the [Chief Clerk] and if she didn't find any mistakes, I don't see why I should check it again... It's like you're not trusting a person who has a higher authority than you... Isn't tt a form of disrespect??? And if I'm not informed of the movement of personnels, how am I supposed to know abt tt??? Gee... And then there's the whole issue of spelling... If the computer didn't detect any errors, it's only natural tt I assume tt there's no error in spelling... After all, I'm no language expert, so I can't tell for sure if there's any spelling errors...
I shall stop rambling here and take care of those counter-arguments tt're bubbling in the minds of readers... Yes, I'm selected to hold this appointment due to my excellent 'A' Level grades... But this does not mean tt I'm good @ the language department... In case you haven't realise, I'm only good @ the scientific aspect of life... I accept facts and don't question it... If you say tt it's correct, I'll accept it unless you prove it otherwise... And being good @ science-related subjects, which for the record, makes a lot of assumptions, I'll tend to assume a lot... So if someone says tt some other person has been posted out (a hypothesis), I'll assume it's a fact as it's (1) from a higher authority and (2) the [Chief Clerk] - another person whose authority equally high - supports the hypothesis... Hence if you say otherwise, I fail to see why I'm the receiving end of some lectures as it's seriously not my fault to begin with...
Like I've mentioned earlier, I'm good @ science related issues... So when it comes to the language, god forbid I try to attempt to correct whatever tt's presented to me... I might end up making it worse... And once again, if the computer didn't detect any spelling errors, assunptions are made once again tt the work is flawless so again, I shouldn't be responsible for spelling errors... But I do admit to typo errors...
Last of all, the issue tt make my blood boils the most is tt I give you a document to sign, you call me to make changes, I made them and you leave the camp without signing... Tt's like so unfair!!! If in the 1st place you know tt you don't have much time to entertain me, then DON'T set me of to run in circles only to be back to square 1 30 mins later... It's a complete waste of my time to climb the stairs so many times and to rush for no absolute reason... Grrr...
I know, I have to deal with it... But heck... I really need to vent it somewhere... Of course, this little prob of mine, no matter how hugh it is, can't be compare to what [Earth] is suffering from... The results from global warming has finally surfaced after years of speculations of what it'll actually do... Cities are sinking, winter's getting shorter, plantation yields are off scheduled and mozzies are reproducing like amoebas... This is the price we have to pay to enjoy whatever we have now... Cars, excellant network of roads, nice buildings, unlimited internet access... We're giving the environment up in order to enjoy a better standard of living (alleged)... Quality of life is detoriating and so does the stadnard of living... We may be better off now in the short run... But in the long run, my 13 floor house will become the 1st floor... And I'll have the seaview right our of my window... Not a pretty sight to behold I tell you...
Once such things are put into perpective, let's just say tt everyone has their problems... It'll be over in no time... But when will the world's problems be solved??? *Ponders*
