Four times the electricity fucked up my office life this morning. My stomach was cling wrapped according to the post 'fat dissolving' procedure. And to make things worse, I wore a long sleeve tight shirt to work. It looked good when I got outta my house but as soon as I walked into a 'non-electricitied' office room, five minutes later, I was drenched with sweat. So, I changed into my normal t-shirt, baggy and ugly, which I originally brought for gym. Then, the electricity came back on and as self conscious as I was and given there were meetings in the office, I changed back into my tight long sleeve shirt and just as I sat down on my office chair, the electricity cut off again. I stayed for a little while, hoping the lights would come back on but no. So, I changed into my baggy T shirt again and minutes later, the lights came back on. So, after four wardrobe changes, I got fed off and I strived on the whole day with the baggy T shirt.
To add to this ridiculous blackout atmosphere, two staffs at work were complaining about their salaries. Now, we did a meeting where I would empathize with them and would ask for justifications of a raise. They had none and their main reason was 'cos we deserve a raise'. I mean.. are you guys working more than you guys should?? Are you guys staying late? Seriously, I believe in negotiations and the raise they asked for was unbelievably high and the other staffs were understanding enough to actually let them have a go at it.
I don't know... greed pisses me off. I guess we have to remember that for such salary as ours in Burma, it's a pretty sufficiently high amount. Plus, it's not like anyone's reducing anything. So, instead of being angry over stuffs and leaving unprofessionally, I just hope they were a bit professional and quite reasonable about their justifications, which was actually zilch.
Oh people!!!! Greed killeth thous!!!
