Bureaucracy maze

Photobucket
Is development dependent only on the man leading the system? I’m afraid it’s not. As much as we like to blame others for dissatisfaction, it’s exactly you or any other complainers who can do something about it rather than the dude who leads the system.

Passport extension has never been this destructive to one’s weekday. There I was, today, happy with the patch-up I had with my boss. I’ve come to realize how my boss is bad at managing but it can only be better if only the people working for him gives half a shit about what they’re doing at work. Well, I would say ‘some’ since I know of some people at my workplace who’s actually in control of what they have to do and how they’re going to be doing it.

I took a lunch break hoping the passport extending bureaucracy would only take an hour or upmost an hour and a half but it resulted in two and a half hours of going through a maze. I went there with one of these girls who work with my grand-dad and despite the fact that there was nothing I could do to help, I hate it when she kept assuring those people in uniform at the department that my grand-dad used to work for the country before. I just felt like I was taking advantage.

After several trips of three levels of crowds of people and rude service, I realized that blaming the service is just ridiculous no matter how rude they were. I mean, first of all, they have to sit behind the counter all day to deal with people who would do ANYTHING to squeeze an extra from them. Begging, complaining or finger pointing to cheat through bureaucracy, it’s not always the people behind the counter who’s the asshole but the people themselves who are being assholes.

Want a good system? Don’t break the one we’ve got for now.
