Live, Love and Laugh

I can't understand how some people can be so honestly dumb, until I get to the managerial capacity. There are just so much things in life that aren't rocket science. All that is required is just common sense, to figure them out.

In a way, I'm secretly glad that I didn't pursue my teaching degree- I can't take pure stupidity! Ok, perhaps I actually should have... so that I can make a difference in the population that may fall under Category Insolvably-Stupid.

Or else, can someone tell me that it is my fault to expect someone to be able to pick things up after being taught for just once. But for God's sake, we are working adults, expecting to perform in a competitive environment! If I have got the luxury of time to repeat something over and over, why wouldn't I just do it myself instead of hiring a retard? Am I expect to show the leniency that I would to a 8-year old at elementary school?

The truth is, most people at my workplace have got way many more years of working experience than me. So tell me, what's so difficult going about figuring out simple things? I was NEVER EVER taught formally how to do anything at work before. Not even during my 6-month stint with KPMG as an intern! On my first job (not in the capacity of an intern), I could run the whole finance department from front to back without being taught, or shown much as well. Same goes for my second job! To have me sitting down with someone and going through the whole process, step by step, is a pure luxury! I have even taken the pains to explain the rationale behind things. What did I get in return now?

In saying that, I'm not trying to impress upon everyone that I'm smart. In fact, most of my peers could easily beat my grades in school. So really, it does boil down to common sense isn't it? Although common sense may not be common to everyone. But still... I'm tired... Really tired, and a bit worried that dumbness can be infectious! Hee...

Counting down to Singapore and Korea now! I'm excited, yet apprehensive.. I don't know what kinda mess would someone make while I'm not around. If judgement day should come anytime soon, please let the dumb-asses get wiped out first!
