incessant whining pisses me off..!
honestly i've no idea why people are kicking up a ruckus about entering the workforce..everywhere i turn to there're boneheads lamenting how much work sucks and the multitude of excuses why they'd rather be studying..
guess what?
grow the fuck up!
the only acceptable reason to justify why working sucks more compared to studying is cuz there's no term break every few months..and that's the only reason ppl can give w/o me kicking their teeth in..
"i have no life anymore!"
well toots..mugging in the library or doing projects over the weekends sure don't sound any more 'life' than working 9-5 each day..
"my frens are all busy with work!"
just like they're always busy with the next big test, project, assignment etc.
"i can't wake up late anymore!"
i feel like bludgeoning some kid in the nuts whenever i hear this...as if the first 10-12 years of your study life wasn't spent waking up at 6am in the morning..and i sure as hell dun see anyone going batshit loco for waking up before the suns' up..
"i have to work OT!"
you should just punch yourself in the breast for mouthing off garbage like that...so mugging in central library till 10pm at night is deemed acceptable but working OT till 9pm is considered a travesty? go fuck yourself!
"i'm growing fat and pudgy from lack of exercise and sun!"
i wonder...if your frens are all 'too busy' to give a fuck about you..what the hell do you do over the weekends then? getting out there in the sun sounds like a good option...or maybe you'd rather just spend the weekend sleeping and slacking...in which case you deserve to become the fat ugly bastard/bitch you've become anyway..
..and there're a billion other lameshit excuses which i won't mention to prevent me from smashing my head into the monitor..
what the hell is wrong with working anyway?
just go through motion and receive your paycheck each month...
did i mention that weekends are stress free w/o any obligation to use your brain..?
and how about the convenient loophole called a 'medical certificate' that gives you one (or more) day(s) of wanton pleasure WITHOUT having to worry about repercussions...?
oh hey...unlike school...its much easier to just quit altogether and find another job if you're unhappy..
or perhaps getting paid for all this isn't a good enough reason...
hmm...
people are fucking retards!
GOT SOMETHING TO SAY??

haha i totally agree with you! i personally prefer working to school as well lah. at least there is no need to worry/think about exams/projs/papers/tests/readings.. and the list goes on.... and not to mention, after you step out of office, you can throw work out of your head till the next morning! haha..
but i guess one thing school life will beat working is the kinda people you gotta deal with in the working world. people are just more serious? and you never quite know what they are thinking about? whereas in school, things are simpler in some sense lah. everyone can be friends. in the working world, everyone has to be treated more like an enemy.. (don't ask me why people just like to complicate things in the workplace!)
yup.. just dropping a comment lah.. hehe.. and also cos i am rather bored now... trying very hard to fight the sleep/nua monster in me.. haha.. =p
cheers!

i agree the politics involved while working definitely overshadows anything experienced in the school setting..people are definitely more scheming and backstabbing..
but i maintain that as long as one remains humble and just gets the job done w/o trying to buttkiss or seek out a reward, one can safely remain out of the political arena.
people can say all the bad things about you...so what? go thru' motion and receive your paycheck at the end of the month. that's what you work for!

well-said! =)
unfortunately, sometimes in the workplace, cos of the anal people all over the place, and sometimes in very close proximity, there are people who are very petty.. and even if we dont do anything to steal limelight/claim credit or anything remotely ostentatious, these people also can get angry with you. to put it simply, you can step on people's toes without even realising it and more often than not, without even intending it. and even though you can say we dont care what others say, it can be quite frustrating to have these group of people disliking you for no apparent reason. and not to mention, it can make your working life very miserable. at least this is what will happen to me lah..
the only way to safely keep away from the political arena is really to keep your mouth shut in the office and fade into the background. do your work and go home when you're done. however, unfortunately again, that can hardly happen too. for people like me especially, it is like asking me not to socialise at all, and you might as well put a bullet through my brain! =p to clarify, i am not saying we should establish chummy ties and deep friendships in the workplace, but given that we spend so darn much of our time at work, we might as well make it a happier time by making friends, right? =)
anyway... i am happy working lah. so i am really not complaining about anything. just my two cents' worth! =p
and yes chu, no hols does suck big time! =pp
take care!
cheers

yea...the beauty of just keeping the mouth shut..work isn't about socialising definitely..as long as you've got a couple of closer colleagues, its more than enough.
petty sluts/assholes are just cannon fodder for the more discriminating bosses..dun worry about it..

woah..!
is this the very same delta green from the mindef forums? good to see ya buddy!
glad you brought up the point about 'responsibility'. i won't dispute the fact that working carries a far heavier real life burden than studying for a piece of paper no one really gives a shit about. the crucial part is 'real life'.
yea most work to feed their families and i totally respect that...and that's exactly the reason why i draw the line between studying and working. you work for survival, for your family, for your loved ones. you don't work for intangible BS like 'honours' or the oppotunity to get your ass employed sooner than your peers.
when an individual has to do something with a very real life implication, nature works such that a person (usually) will ensure that he/she gets the job done by hook or by crook.
but if you tell me to study for generic horseshit like a professional degree or just so i can call myself a 'graduate-and-therefore-it-automatically-makes-me-more-adept-at-doing-anyting', gut instinct kicks in and my first kneejerk reaction would be to yell 'fuck off!'
i NEVER do things for the 'sake of doing it'..that's just fucking retarded.
