Somebody's gotta teach them the rules
#93 (Like 93% OF THE SEC 3 COHORT FAILED ENGLISH okay maybe not)
I just had an epiphany (make that re-epiphany), that times are really a-changing.
Gone are the days when people actually looked up to seniors as seniors, and not your best friend whom you can just poke and prod and punch and insult as and when you feel like it. I mean, it's not like I want GB to go all "Morning Ma'am" and all but come on, know your place. We're a uniformed group, and I think basic courtesy and respect should be (IS) a part of being uniform.
Perhaps it hasn't quite sunk in that there are actually GB people who have graduated from RG and although they like to be in the loop and know roughly what's going on in 45th, they really don't want to have to read every single unknown kiddo's question (in normal font, bolded, or as colourful as my language when I'm pissed like now). It must make them wonder what GB is coming to, that some people don't even have this awareness and don't even seem to understand simple English. Come on, you've got tens of people reading your inane questions. Now read your chairpersons' messages properly. Stick a reminder on your computer monitor, your hand, I don't care. DON'T SEND PERSONAL STUFF/QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE ADDRESSING THEM TO SOMEONE IN PARTICULAR.
Which brings me to my next point. If you're going to be rude behind people's backs, it's going to be really difficult to stop you. But addressing your Sec 4 by her surname and broadcasting it to tens (maybe hundreds in fact) of people is really asking for it. Again, we're not making you say "Permission to ask, ma'am" before you actually ask your question, but she's not your dog or some underling. We all have names for a reason. (I'm currently making a mental note not to call anyone by their surnames again. It's Chaslyn, not Ah Yan. Joelle, not Cheong. And I'm actually going to make an effort to remember. If I am heard calling someone by their surname, you have permission to slap me.)
Really, how does Barack Obama (NOT Obama) keep his cool when the economy is collapsing faster than London Bridge, when I can't even tolerate a bunch of 12-and-13-year-olds?
P.S. I have been getting very disconcerted lately, and that's never a good sign because for The Weird One (yours truly) to think that something's Really Weird, it has to really clash with the general order of the world.
