Aloha teabreaks

This client I'm currently working on is really fantastic.

All for the simplest reasons:
1. They close at 530pm. 6pm latest. Auditors must go. No two ways about that.
2. I get to choose a beverage to drink when i come in, and again after lunch.
3. Their toilets are REAL CLEAN.

Yeah I know.
You must be thinking, whats so fantastic about these 3 lousy reasons?
I'll tell you this.
You'll never learn to stop just to feel the breeze and smell the air around you until you've been to the Zimbabwes in your life.

On a side note.

I found out my laptop's broken today.
literally.
broken.

Still turns on though.
hm.
wonder when the firm'll get me a new one.

If frustration could kill..

I came across this client the other day?
She was handicapped.
not like handicapped - handicapped, brain-handicapped.

I asked her to export the GL in PDF file so that i can read it on my laptop.

" PDF? how to export?"
~ wtf?
"uh, you know, export to PDF file?"

" dunno la"
~ ==
"okay, let me see."

~ i click about abit~

"there, this is how you export it."
"OHHHH.."
*mumbles something to herself* 

"Whats that?"
*mumbles slightly louder*

"I'm sorry, can't quite hear you"
*smiles at me*
 " how to open PDF file ah?"

HOW TO OPEN PDF FILE AH?, WHAT THE FUCK AH???

$%*&@%$&s**5%(!!!!!!

Even if you dont know what fucking program it should open with, 
you should at least KNOW THAT YOU CAN DOUBLECLICK IT TO OPEN???

*trying very hard to restrain my annoyance from showing*
"Oh here, you just double click it..."
"OHHHH..."

and she's only in her late 20s.
qualified accountant.
geesh.
unbe-fuckin-lieeevable.

"To be or not to be"

.. Is not the question.

Now, the question,
The question really should be "To give a shit or to not give a shit."

That my friend, is exactly whats been affecting our world all this while.

Take for example, that particularly annoying stupid person at work who with the pea-sized brain. While she goes about her daily routine of being annoying (and getting her ugly fritzy hair with its even uglier head's nose sticking itself into your ass everytime you move about) and suddenly she comes up to you and demands that you keep her files for her til tomorrow.
There's two things you could do at that point.
1. to give a shit.( and get some credit for giving a shit)
or
2. to NOT give a shit.

If you were to go about option number 1. you would be all nice and chummy and tell her "sure thing! here, i'll take that."

Now, if you chose option 1, you're a pretty stupid bugger. Or not.
In my case, I gave her the file back the next day( which she didn't rmbr).
And so she came about side of town and asked my about the files.
To which I nonchalantly said "I dunno. I returned it to you already".

Unimpressed by my answer she kept at it(being a bitch and asking me). To which i merely repeated my answer and made sure she saw my annoyed face.
( I've got a job goddammit. You think I have time to babysit you?? and you're an *M already forgoodness' sake. frickin act like one.)

And so she got the message and went about asking everyone else whether they took her file.
Seriously. Who the heck would have time to go about touching your things? ( Or even want to? )

Anyway, she went about town whining and annoying anyone that bothered to listen about her files being missing.
Left for client's place.
Came back later in the night.
Found out from colleague later that she found her file.
Couldnt be bothered about it. She already did what I wished her to do.( annoy everyone else but me )

Few days later, she asked me where i put one of my items.(she was supposed to review it)
I told her gimme a second to find out.
and she said the darndest thing!
" huh. what lah you. always forget where you put your stuff. tsk tsk."

like, what the fuck?I just said gimme a second to find it. Not 
"I DUNNO WHERE I PUT IT OMG. DID YOU TAKE IT?? WHATBOUT YOU? OR YOU? OR YOU....etc"
It was so fucking unbelievable! I couldnt fucking believe she said that to me! and after her huge drama just the day before!
I swear, someone should take her to the Gaza Strip and let her settle there.
Both sides of the strip would even gladly pack up bags and leave just so not to be annoyed to death.
WMDs?
no match to this weapon of mass annoyance.


Option 2.
You would've saved yourself all the trouble and didn't have to post this on your blog.
See? 
To give a shit or to not give a shit.
It truly is The Question.
