New Author in town
A close friend of mine says that the blog is 'full of whining and sarcasm', and he would like to add some entries that would send the blog readers into deep thought. Sounded quite interesting to me, and I'm waiting to see if it actually is. the floor is yours.
I'm 30 minutes late... so what??
Well, I come in 30 minutes late to work, I make my one hour lunch break last half an hour longer, and I get comments like: that was a big lunch or enjoyed your lunch?
Some people are just way too obsessed with time, I'm a person who likes to defy authority, sometimes I think I do it just to see what they're going to say. Nevertheless, regardless of my accomplishments, it seems that people tend to remember me as the guy who is always late. That pisses me off. 30 minutes is not a big deal, especially when I have everything organized and finish the work way before the due date. So why should I come 30 minutes earlier than I have to just to surf the net and check my mails?
I understand that a lot of people working with me are desperate in the sense that if they lose their job they could be on the streets, not to mention that they are now making around 1400% (This is not an exaggeration) more than they were making in their home country (I'm not going to say which country, you will probably guess right). But arent they a little insecure? Can't they be confident that they are working in the organization because they are good at what they do and not because they come in on time just to surf the net.
One person entered the following time on the shared timesheet:
Arrived at 8:47:26
26 SECONDS!! DID HE HAVE TO MENTION THAT. well being who I am , I went and wrote this on my time sheet:
Arrived at 9:35:38:37:25:14
I got a call from HR the next day.
My plan for the coming quarter is to always be on time but never deliver any of my projects on time (even though they are completed), lets see what they prefer.
