The whole week has been hectic. Cancelled training due to terrible net connection, keterlupaan ketika puasa ganti (masuk kebun, jumpa belimbing masak), attending to the car for its periodic med checkup, family dinner treat, a wee hour trip to LCCT, kenduri baca Yassin… Even it can’t compare to ADUN Balakong’s schedule.

Haven’t been seeing The Kolektif Klan for a month (or so). Badd is having fun guling-guling macam tenggiling whilst Boy is now a member of Wanita KEMAS, baking tarts for raya. As for me, I’m still a part time swinger I always am (macam real jek!).

Just a couple of days back, a dear friend told me that he’s being stood up again by the same person.

Poor him.

We became victims of the same person but my ‘once bitten twice shy’ policy has refrained me from being a victim for the second time.

Sometimes I feel that these people are just born with this deformity: lack of courteous or respectful or considerate act.

The basic rule is very straight forward- if you can’t promise anything, don’t bother to make plans. I have a very strong feeling of dislike to people who give false promises, though no promise word involved. It is like giving hopes to others just to let them down right after.

Even if you have to give the plan a raincheck, make sure you give enough timeframe for that (unless your postponement is due to a critical, last minute commitment you have to fulfill lah).

And most importantly… message delivery. They always fail in that department. Dah la plan tak jadi, cara cakap pun kadang-kadang macam sial. Apa hasil???

Macam sucker.

Back to the situation, that’s why I don’t like to make plans with this particular person (well, not that I always do anyways) and girls in general.

Banyak hal lah!

Dear You,

How are you doing? I hope you are in the pinkest of health. I am doing good physically but mentally, I am not. And that is because of you.

Yes, YOU!

From our last conversation regarding your problem accessing the system, I was being informed that ONLY A FEW PCs face the problem. Thank you very much for the information as it’ll help us to improve on our support.

However, the nice reaction that I took as good, turns out to be the otherwise. You called The Office and ‘accused’ me for not looking into this matter seriously. That really ticks me off, Mister. It really does.

When I heard all the ‘accusations’ from my Manager this morning, it made me wonder if you actually DID your bloody best to look into any possible solutions to the problem you are having.

I, as a fella who supports you on the system usage, definitely will try my best to give you any possible solution in order for you to wipe away the problem which is causing you headache. Believe me, I am having the same headache like you do and I don’t mind the pains if you cooperate with me and treat us nicely.

When I was being told that no one is paying any attention to your difficulties I was stunned. Did you forget the discussion we had last week when I asked you to try and find the answer to your ever puzzling situation? Did I not provide you with alternatives for you to work on yourself? And even if it’s still unsolved, you do know that you can always use Firefox as a temporary solution, right? Now what is the issue that you are trying to exaggerate or even create here?

Hey You,

I know how frustrating it is when things don’t work out the way you plan and when it takes you more time that before but we are always in the process of improving and please understand that we have other things to do. We are reaching a point where we we don’t even have a space to add another bling bling to our tangan (imagine Mami Jarum).

But I guess you won’t.

I don’t totally blame you for having such feeling. I too do get frustrated if things don’t work they way I want it in term of speed, resources and time.

All I am asking now is for you to sit down and take a deep breath. When your mind is finally clear, try to deliver your message again. You’ll notice how big the difference it’ll make to the other party.

Hey You,

Don’t worry. I’ll spend more time on this matter to ensure that you’ll get what you should get but I am not the individual who controls everything. I will definitely give you my personal opinion on getting this over with but that’s about it. Anything regarding the codes SHOULDN’T be delivered to me.

And please don’t expect me to drive 200 km just to assist you on PC troubleshoot.

Well I can actually, provided that I don’t have to fork out a single penny for the trip.

Hey You,

Why do I feel that I have to be surprised to find out that my rage isn’t as intense as it was initially? You should be grateful that I’ve found an excellent method to channel my anger which does not have to involve any human casualty.

You better be…

Signed,

Kay Fuad
