sigh...

The first day i finish my attachment and go back to my original camp, and it's also the day i get so pissed i'm ready to chew bullets. I mean, c'mon, can't people get it into their dense skulls that we need to work TOGETHER in order to accompluish things quickly and painlessly? I mean, dammit, does the simple logic of TEAMWORK never occur in the peasized membrane they call a brain? Ok, maybe being in a choir has taught all the MDC people the neccesity and common-sense, of teamwork and civility. While being in a balls eat balls environment makes all those 'soldiers' with skulls the thickness of the Berlin wall believe, looking out for their own interests is the only law they abide to. And because of this chinanery, servicing that could be done in 1 hr takes 2, cleaning up so we can all fall out and go HOME, lasts till 6 instead of till 5.30pm. Then they have the intelligence to order others to do their dirty work while they stand around chit chatting, then complain that they always finish late everyday. You know what? I wish they'd just get a freaking idea... probably the reason why their brain needs 'Berlin wall' separation from the normal world. It a complete vacuum in there... 7hrs and already i wish i were back having a STRESSFUL day in MDC.

Bored and pissed

just doin this for fun.. not in the mood to blog actually... so yeah... add me if u want...
