Do I deserve this?

Why do I feel like somebody is trying to sabotage my day?
That one person just drives me up the wall. Patience is running really low & dry.

You didn't know. I taught you.
You didn't understand. I explained.
You didn't know how to use the application. I guided you.
You couldn't fix it. I helped.
I even went the extra mile to inform you what you should/should not do.

At one point or another, you have to learn to stand on your own feet.
Furthermore, you've had training on all these.
Enough is enough.

So when you asked something you should already know, I question you back based on the knowledge you have (plus hints). Questions to & fro but one hour later & you stil didn't get it. You ended up delaying an urgent problem, which you still didn't know how to fix. I questioned why did you delay such a thing & you BLAMED ME for it???

Excuse me but if it's URGENT, you should've said something about it. & also, IT'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL THESE WHILE. Why else go through all the freaking trainingsssss???

Don't freaking say "oh how come I don't know that I know this one?"
It just sounds plain rude to me.

& should I be blamed for something that you should know but do not know?
Do I deserve this?

Stop testing my patience. I've went extra miles being very kind, helpful & patient to you compared to others (other juniors).

Innocence

Sometime last week, we (13.5yo cousin, 9.5yo cousin & me) were watching the idiot box when Zoey101 came on.

I suddenly remembered reading something somewhere lead actress, Jamie Lynn Spears, so I started dishing it out to my 13.5yo cousin. The younger one heard & a question soon followed. It just slipped out when I answered him "how can life be normal after you have a baby?" (especially in a teenager's case!).
He gave a puzzled look & said "I don't understand how can a 16/17yo be married already.."
That was followed by a silence.

Emm.. How do you even tell a 9.5yo that it's not neccessary that one would be pregnant only if you are married?
I rest my case. It's not my job to answer that question anyway...

Breaking Record

How many people can say they woke up 15mins before work & got to work in time???

I supposingly start work at 7am today.
I woke up at 6.45am.
First thought that came across my mind: should I go to work or should I call in sick?
Decided on going to work as I am too chicken to call in sick.
Rushed around in a very kelam-kabut manner. Done within 5 mins.
Ran downstairs to be greeted by my aunt's helper (emm.. maid la actually) "you're late!"
(zzzzz.. I know la!)
Drove faster than normal to work. About 60km/h (which my bro reckons is speeding).
Arrived right on the dot.

The other half says: you seem very proud of your "achievement"...

Hehe... I don't hope to repeat this rushing feat though...

Can you speak in English?

Remember How being a customer support executive can kills your brain cells ?

This is another one... (btw, conversation IS in English)

Exec calls user...
Exec: Good afternoon. This is Exec calling from Y. May I speak to User please?
User: Har?
Exec: *a littls louder* May I speak to User please?
User: What?
Exec: *louder* May I speak to User please?
User: I can't hear you..
Exec: *even louder* May I speak to User please?
User: What?? I am not hearing you.. (yes, the User speaks a little broken English)
Exec: *as loud as can be* May I speak to User please?
User: I am not getting you. Can you speak in English?
Exec: *wth?????*

Exec decides it's time to cut the call. Exec has been talking so loud, people at the other end of the biggg office could probably hear.
