clinging and movin on.

B: ok so u book in tonight tmr leave at 0830.
A: that time i MA 11 N also nvr ask me to book in. anw u think i alot of money in and out like that?

(a short while later)
A: B...i twisted my hand...am going to see doctor now. update you later.

A:I took 2 days mc...for my hand..
B: Okay.

Clearly A must be checked on with care and concern from tmr onwards at 2 hr intervals since he is susceptible to twisted feet, hands and anywhere else with joints in that overnourished body. If A suffered from a broken ankle for more than half a year and is now dealing with the debilitating aftermath, B strongly suggests that A check into a hospice. palliative care would do wonders rather than curative medication. A couldnt even understand simple english to provide the type of, place and clinic of appointment so im not surprised that B asked A to report back as usual and leave the following day given the desperately lacking argument, despite seeming somewhat...unfeeling. so A cleverly informs B that he was reporting sick for his "twisted hand" (mind more likely) and was rewarded with 2 days of MC. and B thinks that he has money enough to splurge on MCs but not enough to travel to and from place of duty.

B also faces C, who was kindly granted stay out status but required to get the official documentation in place. but he has kindly taken the kindness for granted and threatened his immediate supervisor with foolish acts. B wishes that he'd try AND SUCCEED. or at the very least get a sentence that's worth 20 summers in the utopia where food, water, shelter and even recreational activities are catered for. C has kindly skipped pre-arranged counselling sessions on 030807 and 070907 and has yet to account for his MIA status on both days. It is alleged that C has also yet to produce the relevant documents covering his absence on 120907 and some days in the same year which are too numerous to mention. from C's POV, perhaps he's a hero who dares to stand against the system. perhaps B should commend C for his bravery but we all know that martyrs, no heroes, die young. epecially heroes with rotten attitudes, like C.

I deeply empathise with B, who doesnt know who is the lesser evil, A or C. to investigate would constitute a waste of taxpayers' money and sap too much energy which should be spent on other more productive things. not to mention the cesspit of lies that were spouted and nefarious acts of deceit that were performed that would be discovered upon further probing. and the resulting sense of disappoinment. or would it be a moment of vindication? i wonder...

you see, society, in this case doctors, professionals whom society in general hold in high regard, also has a role to play, and obviously parents who should at least PRETEND to be interested in their children's activities. not just institutions. doctors indeed, who'd dispense that coveted ticket to idleness for a mere...20 bucks? that's why i always say morals are cheap when you can trade them for 2 red notes.

I wish B the best of luck in dealing with A and C. B is going to need it. or perhaps B will read in the papers one of these daystheir premature demise or shameful deeds exposed ala bad-girls-gone-wild-hollywood style, with sensational embellishment by the local top selling tabloid.

and we all wonder why society is imperfect.

Course was a bore. really. other than nightly escapades to rocky hill and digging for crspy tofu, it was more of going through a motion. more so for us common phasers.

on a brighter note, i passed SOC. no more SOC for the rest of my life! whoever invented this must be rotting in hell right now. heard from S1 that for specialists to convert to officers, SOC timing must be preferably ~ 0830. old fogeys. oh well, not that i care but it's rather ludicrous.

aug has come and gone. and i think sep will pass equally fast, if not faster, with all that off and leave clearing. i really cant see the value of off and leave anymore, not at a time of lull. perhaps it was more valuable when we had more things on our hands, but responsibility stood in my way of clearing it. now it has greatly depreciated, ala the NS financial crisis. if someone offers me $50 for a day of off or leave, i'd gladly sell all 24 days and more after HR audits.:) 2 more mths before i shift again and wad then? i think i will be boredddd to nothingness...i think i have a warped sense of satisfaction in getting things out of the way, all the mini, easy-to-handle-but-terribly-tedious stuff. if only i had been full time admin...
