Slagging Double Standards
y'know... there are some things i can except. there are even more things i can let slide.. and then there are things that piss me off royally and double standards are one of them
i swear sometimes office politics are enough to make you not want to work - ever..
what happened goes a little something like this...
as you know the entire NJRC consists of the school teams, team coordinators (like me), judges and SC Events staff. the team coordinators run up and down 2 to 3 floors of the SC ferrying teams back and forth to the judges to be interviewed. the judges sit in their respective rooms on their asses and interview the teams. SC Events staff.. well i dunno what the hell they do sometimes. anyways, the entire debacle is about... pfft... lunch.
now on the first day, as soon as the lunch hour hit, everyone involved in NJRC goes upto the Newton Room to eat from a mini buffet spread (and when i say mini, i mean mini in every sense of the word). everything's all fine and dandy right? heh.. yeah right.
yesterday evening, during the debriefing, Idzhani and Wendy inform us that the high-ups (burn in the inferno whoever they are) think its not nice if the judges and the team coords serve their lunch at the same time, so our instructions were to wait about half an hour so as to make sure the judges have finished serving, and then we go up and serve our lunch. okay.. fine.
so thats what we did today. when we went up the judges were all happily eating so the rest of us decided to polish off what was left in the buffet trays, green rice (dont ask) and all. i mean c'mon! with all that running around, we're all fragging tired and starving by lunchtime.. of course we're going to eat to make sure we have enough energy come the afternoon round.
then this evening, word comes down from the high ups (melt in the fragging Pit!) again that it doesnt look good when we serve from the trays, so after the judges eat, whatever food is remaining will be packed and then we can come up and eat out of the packet.. and we have to eat only what is given..
WHAT. THE. SLAG?!?!
i'll say it again: WHAT THE FRAGGING SLAG?!?!
i really want to know who the pig-slagger is that came up with that pig-slagging idea so that i can shove his/her slagging head up his/her slagging exhaust!!! i mean that is so slagging ridiculous!!! what the hell is so wrong with us coming up and eating?! what, because the judges are all Academic people with Masters and pHDs and stuff, so the rest of us are too scrapping unworthy to eat off the same lunch line? fragging smelt me!
anyways, besides that glitch everything else pretty much went smoothly both yesterday and today.. teams went in and out of their interviews like clockwork.. hehe the fun part today was when one kid yelled at his teammate "Get your bloody ass back here!" He couldnt have been more than 10 years old. and we've finished all the primary schools today. now we're on to the Secondary schools, who are easier to control, but can be alot snobbier.
*sigh* we do all the hard work and this is the thanks we get.
