Some things just drive me up 'da wall

If you made a mistake at work, would you rather:
a) be told of it, take note of it & try not to repeat the same mistake in the future
b) go & blabber off to someone with a bit more authority ??

Or if you're on the other end, if you notice someone made a mistake, would you:
a) tell/advice the someone
b) correct someone's mistake (which will most definitely repeat in the future) ???

I personally told someone of someone's mistake & I didn't even get a single thank you but instead I got someone else up my neck. Excuse me but I told someone quite nicely, I would say. I even ended it with a please-take-note-&-try-not-to-repeat-it,-thank-you.

The reason why I refused to 'correct' someone's mistake & instead, I advised someone is because IF I DON'T FREAKING CORRECT THE MISTAKE, IT'S BOUND TO REPEAT & I HATE HAVING TO KEEP PICKING UP SOMEONE ELSE'S MESS!! & IT'S NOT JUST ONE FREAKING PERSON'S MESS.. IT'S SO MANY OF THEM.. ON DAILY BASIS... HOW TO COPE?? ARGHHH... & I wish those with authority see light to this. You don't work on this, you don't feel the pain. It's pure S-T-R-E-S-S dealing with crap like that, beside having to deal with cranky users.

Ohh.. I feel better now..

Book Warehouse Sale

I mentioned previously about the story books I bought & the want to buy more.

So yeah, I did managed to go get more last weekend.
It's actually The Big Bookshop warehouse sale (going on till 18 November).
It's at Atria, at Damansara Jaya. I saw the sale from an ad in Metro section of The Star. I don't have the full address with me now, but if my memory serves me correctly, it's at SS22.

There's really good bargains there. Books were going from as low as RM1 (some at Rm.050, but they were totally unsuitable; for me). Story books that will cost about RM10-15 normally were priced at RM1. Roald Dahl books, which normally cost about RM25-30+ were at RM12-15. Those "mini" recipe/cookbook were priced at RM1-2 (normal price RM10).

I got lots of books for myself, a few for my cousin.
About 10 books that cost RM10-12 (which would normally cost more than RM20). Then 3 others that would cost RM19.90 each (normal price bout RM50). About 10 RM1-5 books.

The first time, I spent nearly RM70 but the second time I did a huge damage of about RM165. -.-" Worthwhile bargain. Although the other half says I'm crazy. But I'm happy.. I've got books enough to last me for weeks before I finish reading them all.

How many have I finish? About 4 currently..
