I need some new hobbies...

As of right now, I'm totally pissed at 2 friends of mine, WarnerBoy and KJ Pop. Basically, we've made plans over the weekend to have dinner with an old friend and head off to the hill for another crack at good Ol' Uncle Lim. At the very last minute, both dudes stood me up!!! WarnerBoy had an 'accident' that totalled his car for the 100th time... KJ Pop just decided that he needs to be with his pal watching Arsenal v Tottenham... ( By the way, KJ Pop's a Chelsea fan... O.o ).

I'm not pissed at them for having second thoughts about going up the hill with me. In fact, I now know that I'm literally just being patronised. When they win it's all cool. When they lose, they'll conveniently point to me for 'influencing' them. Else, they'll be making last minute changes to the plans... Sigh... My bad man... Though I really don't know why... I don't give two fucks anymore.

What I seriously do not understand is... Why can't they just tell me that they don't wanna go there??? Gees man!!! Note to self... Next time I'm going up the hill... I'll go about it myself!!!

WTF bother making plans if we ain't gonna stick to it right??? I need some new hobbies!!!

Weighing in... On MYSELF!!!

It's been almost 3 weeks since my last post. I have been busy with work, and some other minor distractions. The minor distraction I am referring to has been one that's been bugging me for approximately 8 years now... MINIMUM!!!

That everlasting issue is one that concerns my weight... I now weigh a whopping 132kg!!! Yes... I am the weight of 2 average human beings!!! Enough said... I'm just sad today... :(

Taking stubborness to a whole new level....

Most people would be glad that it's a Friday today... NOT me though!!! This is one Friday that'll remain etched in my memory... Today is where I 'witnessed the 'death' of rationalism and logical thinking. What ever happened to sensible arguing??? It is understandable that we all have our egos. However, to blatantly ignore facts... That's something just outright idiotic!!!

And the one person to inflict this mind numbing display of stupidity is none other than PuddyCat. This time, she was arguing with me about some moronic manager, P_Moron who's taking her for a ride. And in that little head of hers is this false sense of believe that P_Moron was helping her resolve a problem which she recently encountered at work.

In a nutshell... The Backup team was complaining that a backup job on a server that is managed by PuddyCat was slow... Technically... It would be right for PuddyCat to first seek to understand the issue from a server platform perspective... After all, that is her area of 'expertise'. What did not sit well with me was that she related the incident to me and expected me to sympatise with her predicament...

And when I did NOT show any empathy towards her problem... She literally just shut her ears to all form of other reasoning or advice. Her problem began when she started fiddling with her servers after P_Moron told her that the issue was with the server rather than the network.

First and foremost... The backup jobs in our environment is done across the network. When the backup is slow... It would be anybody's first guess that it could be a network related issue that's causing the problem. In spite of my vehement justification that she should start by checking with the Network team regarding the speed of the port of the switch in which her server was connected to, she remained unperturbed and adamant that it was her responsibility to fix the problem from the server end...

What pissed me off the most was how she could quickly switch 'sides' from criticising the Managers to 'empathising' with their difficulties in holding the customer facing role... In the end, it was just down to her cowardness to stand up for herself. Not an issue for me though...

Do NOT say things to others in hope that you will hear what you WANT to hear!!! If you can't stomach the comments... Don't seek opinions!!!

Not the way I'd imagine myself spending the weekend...

Still reeling over the departure of my friend Bobomans (from the office), my schoolmate/good friend KJ and I decided that paying a visit to good ol' Uncle Lim up the hill would be a great idea to spend a Saturday evening. The initial plan was to grab a bite, make our way up the hill, make a quick buck and dash down the hill in time for the big game between Man Utd and Arsenal. Here's what went wrong with the night...

1. we went to a noodle shop in SS2 where the food was decent but the price tag was not... We basically had noodles and half a crispy chicken that went up to RM60.50 in total. Mind you... We only had green tea for drinks. To top it off... The bird looks malnourished!!!
2. At the hill... good ol' uncle robbed us blind of a combined total of RM700. A 16 round progression on the same number rendered no hits at all!!! Talk about bad luck!!!
3. Going down the hill, KJ informs me that his fuel indicator was flashing... WTF??? We literally had to 'glide' down the hill at speeds that even a jogging grandmother would out paced us... =.="'
4. When we finally got down the hill... The gas station we were so looking forward to go to was on the opposite side of the highway!!! Arrgh!!! WTF man!!! We parked at the Gombak R&R area and made a dash across the highway...
5. After buying RM2 worth of petrol filled in a 1.5L mineral water bottle we made another "death-defying" run across the highway to get to the car only to find that ... We DIDN'T have a funnel to fill the petrol!!! We tried using a plastic spoon to keep the petrol chamber open but as the petrol went in... So did part of the plastic spoon. Finally, we found a thin metal rod that could be used to keep the petrol chamber open while the tank if filled.

After all that trouble we went through, we did eventually reached my house to catch the Man Utd v Arsenal. Missed the opening 10 minutes of the game or so... But it was a happy ending... Man Utd beat Arsenal, 2 - 1. Yay!!! Finally... something good happened.

We'll be back Uncle Lim... Just you wait!!!

I Had A Sad Day....

Approximately 2 hours ago, I said goodbye to the best friend I ever had in the company. My friend, Bobomans has left for another place where life is "great". The funny thing about this feeling I have right now is... I've never missed her so much before and it's only been 2 freaking hours... Today, unlike my other posts where the anger is diverted towards others... This one's especially for me...

Get over it!!! She's only changed jobs for goodness sake!!!

Burnley... You got lucky this time!!!

Today is a catastrophic day for Man United... They LOST 1 - 0 away to Burnley... I'm lost alright... lost for words...

WTF just happened???

L2... Losers X 2

It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. The week was rather peaceful... That was until I got a mail from some retard in the Level 2 (L2) team supporting my account this morning. The doofus basically decided to point the finger at me for something which he or his team overlooked to perform like a good 2 weeks ago... They basically had to down several servers and were given specific instructions by a unix guru to inform him when the servers were up and running so that he may proceed to attach the console to the next server that required to be booted up. Doofus... And the rest of the team however... decided that this issue was no longer theirs once the ticket was dispatched over to my queue... And when there was a trigger from another team which was affected by the unavailability of the server... He conveniently referred them to me!! Whilst I understand that the ticket is in my queue and under my name... My question is... WHY did the moron not do as he was told?? Now... due to his incompetencies... I'll have to wait till tomorrow before I can look at the goddamn server!!!

If you want to dispatch tickets ONLY... Go back to L1!!! Freaking moron!!!
