Too tired to get sick of the same shit

I know I have not posted anything for quite some time. Heck, even the Weekly Work Schedule has been frozen in time for the past 2 weeks.

The thing is, I am just too tired to do anything.

Too tired to play computer games.
Too tired to even spare a few minutes to celebrate colleagues' birthday (sorry Alan).
Too tired to even smile when colleagues are attempting jokes... which are pretty lame most of the time.

By assuming that I only sleep 6 hours each day, I have approximately 18 hours of uptime. 9 to 11 hours are spent in the office and that accounts to a minimum 50% of my daily life time saying hello to Shit.

The Shit that I am referring to are not the customers. I have been serving them for more than 2 years now and I would have left very much earlier if I failed to come to terms with their never-ending amusing demands. The Shit here are people that are either proud or not ashamed of their wrong-doings, faults, total lack of discipline, laziness, lies and I will run out of breath if I were to go on any further.

Shit A is the catalyst that prompted my transfer from Silver team to Gold team. Based on the date as stipulated in his contract, he is a senior. Take the contract out of the picture and I see a guy with not only 0% role model quality but also an ever-increasing liability to the team. He has been let off the hook so many times that I was not even surprised when he got himself promoted not too long ago. Thanks to his new position, we are currently experiencing mass exodus of experienced analysts.

Shit B is one of my colleagues in the new team. This guy is the epitome of an absolute idiotic moron. He put himself under busy mode when he noticed that he will be the next analyst to receive customer calls even though he is doing nothing but standing around chatting about nonsensical stuffs. 2pm shift analyst has been allocated an hour of dinner time at 5.30pm but he intentionally takes his meal at 7pm when he is supposed to start his email shift at this particular hour. Despite all the misdeeds that he has committed, he acts all friendly with everyone and thinks that the world will welcome him with open arms. After all, he is the angel of the team, for he believes that either everyone will forgive and forget all his wrongdoings or he is too good in covering all the shitholes that no one will sense any immorality in him. I, for one will definitely love to welcome him with multiple jabs to his face if there was to be an open-for-all going on in my office.

Shit C is a person in management role; simpler term would be my boss even though I have more than 1 boss to report to. Unfortunately, I do not see any leadership value in him for everyone under him is totally detached from his control, degrading the whole team into a state of anarchy. As long as the team metrics are not affected, he will mindlessly perform his daily tasks of pulling reports after reports, like a zombie, oblivious to all the chaos that are going on in the team. He has absolutely no idea which analyst is supposed to fill into which shift even though he is the person responsible for planning the team work schedule. It was due to his incapability that Shit B is allowed to run rampant without a care in the world.

-sigh-

In case you were wondering, no, the list does not end here. :(

I simply cannot understand why on earth can't they just do what they are supposed to and put an end to all the torments that are plaguing the team.

It is getting so stressful that I just want to collapse into my bed and think about nothing (and that includes updating this blog of mine) each time I reach home from work.

Perhaps it is time for me to resign and move on to the greener pasture out there.

Perhaps it is time that I book myself a much-needed long leave and escape from this daily labyrinth of madness... temporarily.

This is quite normal for you to think of that...

No matter where we go, these SHIT ppl will still exist...

They were just like cockroach, easy to grow the numbers, but hard to killed...

Common man! Cheers.....~

@~~詠鉌, 新旅程~~:
Facing Shit for more than 50% of my time is simply too excruciatingly torturous.

Take few days leave to rest and continue the "war" after you get enough energy. As what ~~詠鉌, 新旅程~~ said, this kind of ppl is every where, and they are also hiding somewhere... Just cautious.

@e$tHer:
My life will be so much happier if they continue hiding themselves out of my sight.

Alas, the few that I described do not even need to think twice before displaying all their f*cked-up characteristics.
