well (on a brighter note), so that i can count my blessings when the good days do come.
(oh wow, sorry for the long post ahead)
seriously. ahahas. but wows, i'm blogging again.
today i really had a trying day. everything seems to be testing my patience.
let's start in chronological order. but disclaimer first, i'm like in my annoyed bitch mode now. so, i have no bigpictureshit in mind, and i'm just probably finding fault at every nitty gritty shit, for just today. ok. lets even do a count on it. btw, profanities for the day probably hit like the monthly quota alrdy. my vocab is probably in an inverse relationship with angsty-ness and profanities. so yea, sorry for the uncouth behaviour in which i shall not regret. oh, and note the #hashtag. #justtryingtobeabitch #waystobesarcasitc #cozigirl
1. i woke up, almost late for work. actually mother poon woke me up at 0510hr (coz she sometimes can't sleep until that time. probably its a wife thing, coz she also make sure my dad is not late for his morng shift). but ok, that's not the bad thing i'm trying to say. i woke up late coz i actually had a freaking good surreal dream. i dream about kh. it wasn't likka M18 shit, but like.. i dreamt about a very sweet us. like how we gazed at each other eyes. how u held my had while sitting in a... van(?) and didnt wanna let go, while i laid my head on ur shoulder with big wide smile.
bits and pieces of good... times. idk if they are memories coz they all seem blurry to me now, but i just felt really at peace in the dream. so much so that i didn't even hear my phone and digital clock alarm. so waking up with a good dream with u in it like that left me in a limbo. though i knew i was running a little late, i sat on the bed for about 1 min, trying to sync in reality. but i couldn't get out of that limbo state... i brushed my teeth, put on my overalls, started my bike, all with visions of a smiling u in my head. WTS right. i really couldn't snap out of it. i couldn't rmbr the ride to work, but once i reached the cp, i put down my side stand, and told myself, fck off girl. u're no longer exist in his world. now its time to freaking go to work, and be safe so tt i can get home safe for mother poon. so yea.
i got onto the lift, looked at myself in the mirror of the lift, and i rmbred telling myself, he doesn't want u anymore, i've got much better things to do.
2. at work. ok. was assigned to this engr. so abt to prep and all, then assignment changed. ok. nvm, can. #opsdemand. then want go out, no spare. got spare then no veh for apu job. so we went out late. ok nvm.
3. the job involved trying to remove a seized bolt. its a handover job and apparently, escalated quite high that one of the snr mgmt had to come down personally to try. ok nvm. #respect #effort. #atleastoutofoffice. he go up, got harness, no landyard, no gloves. and still say me? #can #safetybeginswithme #safetyatalllevels #issit
4. this technician, also collecting is workschd for his B1 type license, is still a technician, macham like engr alrdy sia. i think its just me, being annoyed and jealous, but let's just document it down here so i can look back and lol at this reaction in years to come. knn. i 好心 lend u my tools. pls dont make it sound as if i'm personally there for u to pass u my tools. maybe this one i bitch. maybe coz u treat me like a bro (which is good), but i am not here just to pass u tools btw. for the record, he forgot to take his harness from the vehicle. he actually asked one of the trainee tech (who is also a girl), to walk all the way to the fwd side of the bay, where the veh was, just to personally deliver his harness for him. bro. thought u wanna be man about work. wanna be hero all. harness cannot ownself take issit. #beyourownhero #everysuccessfulmanhasawomanbehind
5. i'm a girl. so its a misery to begin with. coz the job is only accessible by 2 ladders. so each time i wanna go up, the tech will say, wait ah, wait ah. wait until clock out loh.
so as a girl, sometimes its not that u cant work / inadequate / no skill. u're simply not given the chance to work, to experiment, to explore. so when the time/rare opporunty comes (eg. when not enough manpower, and bo bian need to use u) and u need to perform, u're actually doing it for the first time. so when u duno how it really works (coz nv do b4), u kena the ohcozshegirl. bitch. i give u do first time u see u can 100%. but yea, on this point, this is my daily struggle, so not really an issue. used to it liao. #cozigirl #notexpectedtoperformanyway #goodalsocoztyco #nevercozskill
6. i lend u my tools. ok. u want to use hammer to knock, ok. but fyi, there's a reason why I PASS U THE DRIFT. y must u use my 12" 3/8 drive extension to (attempt to) knock the bolt out. if like u need that extsn for access, FINE. but eh. no leh. y cannot use the drift for its purpose of its existence? if i rich ok la, spoil at most buy new one ah. but sorry hor, now i struggling to pay sch fees. u buy me new one if rounded ok? thanx
for this, i wanna justify one thing. i really try to be understanding. but being kind, understanding, patience, doesn't do good for ur wallet. got one time i openly lend my tools. knn. use my 9/16 gear wrench to BREAK TORQUE. bro. i got spanner. i even got 9/16 spline. y must use my gear wrench? so in the end, the internal gear probably broke or smth, can still work but isnt smooth.
on another instance, i lend someone my tool, totally lost and gone. snap-on bro.
another one, i lend my 3/8 drive ratchet handle, u use the ratcheting side as hammer. bro. u use the handle part, i still can tahan. u use the ratcheting side for f?! u're not gg to get the leverage u need to with that 3/8 drive movable part there. so, in the end, not surprisingly and almost expectedly (looking at the way the tool is being treated), the gear inside broke. couldn't turn the ratcheting ANYMORE. was abit annoyed that time. but since i had time, i managed to find a way to secretly fixed it until its good as new. #goodjobgirl #butustillgirl
and lastly, on another instance, i bought this extension pole just reach this t/r button. i really 好心 put in the dept to let everyone use so ppl dun have to push step just to reach that button. ppl take and use, never put back, nvm. so got one time, i can't find it (coz ppl nv put back at its original place).. so i went around to search high and low for it. in the end... i found it.. at the back of the van. broken. the plastic handle part was obviously used to hit hard metal part, while the end of the stick was broken off and now shorter. KNN. excuse me. no.1, u borrow u never ask, its ok. but at least put back. no2. u freaking broke it, (and didn't have the brains to realize the a hollow aluminium rod has 0 impact strength on anything that is needs whacking.), maybe at least INFORM. i wont kiamsup-ly ask u to pay it coz its a $7.90 tool which i have alrdy have the mindset that it's gonna be gone. but not like this pls. so until today, its still broken, and shorter. i just deburr it and tape it around so can still use for its purpose. but just annoyed coz i'm alrdy so short, and u just wanna make it more challenging for me.
7. my shift was diff from the guys so i had to leave the ac, so i wanna keep my tools. but they needed some of my tools, ok can. so he wanted to borrow this small cutter of mine. reason being.. coz 'shiok to use'. eh.
ok. to put things into perspective, he needed a cutter for the cotter pin. like those huge one. (the same guy who used my extsn bar as a drift) Y MUST U USE MY SMALL CUTTER. i specially, specifically, scientifically, technically, bought that relatively expensive cutter just to reach hardtoreach access areas that need to cut those thin eni lockwire. coz sometimes u really just need one small good accutae madeinJapan precision cutter so it makes ur life easier. but no. u had to use that small cutter for ur big cotter pin.. bc 'shiok to use'.
the tool box that we took had a cutter. and, i even (in my most patient unagitated voice) said like, eh, i lend u my cutter also coz this one i buy to use for those eni lockwire at under cockpit /pedastal area. he still emphasize 'nvm ah. shiok to use'. that is x2. fck it. i was just too annoyed with the same guy. whatever. bare minimum, just make sure no tool is left in the ac.
8a. so while the other guys were busy, i had to close the t/r, with another trainee LAE. holy cow. he duno how to close fan cowl eh. EH BRO. u alrdy in OJT phase. and, its been at least 2 mths u here liao eh. i T2 eh, i do many other ac types eh. u everyday only this one ac type ehhhhh. #candontanot
this one just irritates me max. i'm just annoyed everyday abt engineers, esp trainee engrs who dont give a shit about their job. ok, if u dont wanna take the initiative to ask / to learn / to work / to try / to act / to look bz , at least how know to open fan cowl can? no need tools one eh. u just need to press button. ok for this type, maybe abit 'tricky' to u coz need to unlatch the lock using the handle. but bro. this one really for ur own good. at least know how to open the fan cowl? if u from like cmu or what, ok ah. but pls ah, next time dont say u ojt from our dept. later ppl think we nv work on engine.
then ah. ok la, coz i was bz closing all the other latches on my own, so i had to ask him to push away the step so can close the cowl. then like.. he was like struggling to push the step(?). as he was trying, got this like screechy sound. #SLAPSHEAD #INBOLD eh bro. MAYBE THE STEP LOCK. just maybe ah. maybe u wanna try unlocking it? maybe it will work? #justmaybe. i alrdy down there closing everything by myself (good coz finally can work w/o ppl trying to not let me work), so ah, u only got 1 job which is to push the step away. i dun think u need experience to realize if something is stuck, i.e does not move with effort, maybe u wanna LOOK AROUND, or at least think about y got screechy sound. eh. lucky is step lock eh. i cannot imagine if like stuck coz of the engine in the way or smth, then keep pushing. hahas. #Godhelpme
so anyway, he pushed the step away, engine fully closed, then go back veh sit. issit the step no need to put back? then all the tools will walk back ah. since we're at this, i also wanna add on. hahas.
8b. u also duno how to appy anti-seize. ok. maybe if u a technician with many yrs of experience and still duno how to apply correctly, i can still understand eh. but hor, u local degree graduate eh. XXX mech engrg, specializing in aerospace. (feeling ashamed to typed that out-not my sch btw.), do u even
so i tried to erm..
8c. everyday, these 2 trainee engrs who is about same as my shift just annoys me. i know i'm in no position to judge or care. but they come in, sit there play phone. dun bother about what tools to prep, its ok, nvm. but ur engrs all prepping the docs, the spares.. issit u know everything alrdy? even when in ac, sometimes the job done alrdy, just go back veh sit down. issit all the tools and u/s items will ownself walk back to the veh. sometimes even ah, the techs all working on other jobs, then the engr go do his inspn on his own.. like need to open apu door and all... they can just go sit in the veh eh. eh wows. u really buaypaiseh ah? ppl drive u to the bay eh. look bz abit la. pick up the rags or smth. so hor, i guess i shouldn't be surprised if u duno how to open the fan cowl. ok ah. at least u know that come to bay need to wear vest.
9. ok so work ended. supposed to go meet this carousell buyer. he agreed to meet at this place at 5.30pm. i reached there, texted him.. no reply. ok nvm. 10mins later, i sms him via his number. another 15mins later, then he replied that he got something on then cant come.
EHH. u got something on 5.30pm cannot text ah. ppl working on ac can afford to be responsible to check /reply at certain timings / deadlines... issit u doing like some diving/underwater job that u can't use ur phone.. or driving or whatever. ok maybe la. idk, so i can't judge and i'm gonna give u the benifit of the doubt coz its also not my problem to find anything to validate ur tardiness/ absence. so in the end, i waited for 30mins, then go home. he suggested to meet tmr. #okigiveuonemorechance. but ok, i have to note, he was kind enough to apologize, and say like 'i dont mind paying more' for the item'. ok la, i admit i cheepo trying to earn money, so i wont feel insulated that u ask me that, but i think i also got that integrity and pride to keep it at that agreed price. #okgivemyselfsomerespectabit
10. ok, so i wanted to go home liao. i went to my bike which was in the bike lot... knn. kena trapped by 1 bike by the side and 1 car by the front. diagonally behind is a abit of a grass patch. come out is can come out. but sia la. duno how many times i fwd back fwd back fwd back.
but hor, to neutralize it, earlier on when i reach the cp area, i was like.. oh wow. at least got 1 more bike lot for me eh. (coz usually that area bike lot always full). haha. so i guess such goodness on a bad day isn't gonna be good after all seyyy.
11. finally rode home. otw home, i was just mentally thinking.. i really hope i do make it home safely. murphy's law today really game strong. so yes, nothing much happened otw home, other than a few cars cutting into my lane w/o signalling in which i had to apply break. at least no need jam break. almost home. then like while i was just 1.5 m away for my usual lot, this teenage who was smoking, spat right into my lot. if i'm having a good day ah, ok la, whatever, go another lot loh. but hor.... with all these rage at work, buyer not turning up so my trip down is wasted, and i just need 1 more sec to park my bike so i can end my day peacefully, U HAD TO SPIT IN MY LOT. got drain at the side. got grass patch 2m infront.... Y MY LOT SIA. i infront of u, and alrdy going in to my lot.. y that lot.
#Fannoyed.
so yes. i'm homed now. spent so much time blogging redundant stuff that does not add value to my life nor anything positively interesting to whoever happen to even bother reading this. if u really manage to read through the whole chunk of vomitted shit, i wanna thank u. i hope the #bitchmodeON comes off as something u can LOL at coz i think i would when i'm in a more... peaceful state.
but yea. i think its to a point that its so funny to be this annoyed. idk if u can call it #passionate or what. but sorry. i've alrdy passed the point where i agree that being hardworking or capable in life doesn't take u far/anywhere, but all these ah. just pls dun disturb my tools and i.
idk if its something to be thankful for actually.
i'm sooooo annoyed by so many little things, that i didn't even have any emoness left to emorant on twitter or send out negative emo vibes on ig.
and i know that tmr will be a good day coz to be something worse than the string of events today is gonna be a feat for the world to cooperate on that. but hor, i shouldn't say so soon. maybe tmr morng my bike can't start, or like key break agian, or like fuel leak? who knows right.
just wanna pray that God can keep me safe and functional so that mother poon dont have to do hospital visitation of a patient at her age, and she can continue to be happily playing her ipad, tapping the credit card at worry, while cooking good food for me when i come home for dinner.
that's all i ask for in life now really.
and last disclaimer, if any bitch wanna screenshot and intentionally wanna stirr shit at my workplace, by all means really. coz these feelings are not 见不得光 and all these actions have indeed taken place. its just my internal interpretation and i think i'm polite enough to not fck anyone up in the face coz its just unnecessary and well.. i only T2. actually if should u want to create awareness by informing the respective parties, gd eh. at least they're aware of their actions and can start thinking about how to make the workplace more positive, effective and efficient.
ok. phew. glad to be blogging out.
guess since i dont have anyone else to text and rant my personal shit, blogging does help.
thanks for reading, to whoever who unfortunately stumble across.
