Football Rants

To the United-jersey-wearing guy who claimed to be a United fan but who can't tell who Valencia is over Nani and to the Arsenal-jersey-wearing guy who kept declaring to anyone who cared to listen how he hates Van Persie but didn't actually watch the match between City and Arsenal: I wish you the Judas chair. 

You almost ruined the match for me.

Work Blues

I have been working in the same company for the past four years, and I liked it. Liked. I moved to a department I have always wanted to work in ever since I joined the company. I have been surrounded with people who are  Now, I have moved to another department again, and I hate every single second of it. It's like my first company all over again.

It's not the work. I am a lazy person, but when I like what I do, I really don't mind having to work like an ant. I work not just hard, but I work smart. I don't say yes I can do it. I first ask why and then determine whether it's effective or not. Then, I do it. I'm no yes man but I produce results. I don't waste resources. It has been a rewarding experience.

I talk about that all in the past because things are changing. They're changing for the worst. I hate everything about it. I hate a culture of mediocrity and stupidity. I hate a culture of intellectual stasis. And most of all, I hate a culture of bragging without rights. 

When you feel you've earned bragging rights, always look at the bigger picture. What if the achievement you deemed was exemplary was actually mediocre and trivial compared to everyone else's? When those who've achieved so much didn't make a mountain out of a mole hill and you did, doesn't that make you ignorant?

I feel like updating my resume. I have yet to finish my Education course, and I haven't evens tarted on my Masters. That's four years more I think. Hang in there.
