The Duck Rice War

Date: 13th March 2009, Friday
Weather: Raining Heavily (the cats and dogs kind)

Yesterday, LG and I were to do lunch duty and therefore, we got to go for lunch around 1130am. As the kind souls we usually were, we asked some of staff what they would like to have for lunch so that we could buy their share back as it was raining very heavily.

After much discussion, they had decided that they would all have duck rice for lunch. Only two of them who had special request - one wanted duck noodles while the other did not want bean curd with the duck rice.

So, LG and I went to the foodcourt to enjoy a very entertaining lunch and bought the lunch for the rest of the colleagues.

Before long, LG was furious. The duck rice without beancurd was eaten by someone who did not have special request. Worse of all, the evidence of the "special order" duck rice as indicated by a rubber band was found near ... ...

As speculated, 2K had gone to pantry before most of the staff. She had opened, yes, opened every packet of the duck rice. Upon opening the packet of duck rice tied with the rubber band, she did not tie the rubber band back, and therefore, the rest who came later, did not know of the specially requested duck rice. Someone took the wrong packet without realising that it was the usual duck rice.

When LG and I found out what happened, we were furious:

1) 2K, did not apologize for the mistake
2) She did not tie the "special order" duck rice with the rubber band
3) 2K most probably opened every packet just to pick the packet with the most amount of meat!!!!!
4) 2K did not alert the staff when she found out that another colleague had taken a "strangely ordered" duck rice

Whatever it is, the fact remains that 2K had opened each and every packet of the duck rice meant for others. It was rude and unhygenic. It was also a very selfish act. What is wrong with 2K?

For someone who is nearing 40 in a few years' time, her actions are inconsiderate and selfish. We all know that 2K is very self-centered, bad tempered and perhaps ill-breed, but her acts of opening every packet of duck rice in order to "sieve out" the packet with the most amount of meat, is just beyond anyone's imagination!!! 2K had a degree and holds a relatively high position but she has no basic social etiquette at all!!!

Apologise aside, her constant checking on the rest of the colleagues is also intolerable. If the Supervisor does not even check on us, what is she, a mere fellow co-worker has, in her unremarkable and non-existent power, to check on us and report to the Supervisor? I am sure our Supervisor knows who are genuienly working and who is not.

Whatever it is, this incident shown that there are a number of people who have are just ill-breed by nature. It is a lesson learnt and definitely a reminder that I must not behave in such stone age manner.

Crazy 2k!!!

Conjunctivitis or Dry Eyes

I cannot believe that I am on MC because I have conjunctivitis, in layman's term - sore eye or red eye. I really cannot believe it. Conjunctivitis is all about personal hygiene and I cannot believe that I have been careless about personal hygiene.

Having conjunctivitis in a healthcare setup is a big issue as it is infectious. These cases have to be filed into certain system in case anyone I have come to contact with got infected, I am, hence, the "culprit". This is the reason why I am unhappy to be at home with conjunctivitis.

And because of the discomfort, I have been sleeping the whole of tuesday, wakin up only to instill eye drops, do some light reading and have my meals. In a way, it was a well deserved rest. I supposed the hectic schedule, work load and time spent at Facebook's Pet Society is finally making me abit unhealthy. So, is time I get a good rest and to drink plenty of water, knowing that the water is clean, unlike at work place, where one wonders if the tap is clean.

So, I was thinking of doing some light scrapbooking or some light reading and even doing up my thesis, but I have been lethargic... ...

So, that is for now. Gonna instill the eye drops and then the troublesome eye cream... ....
