Businesses doing it tough?

So one of the lunch places I go to have not increased prices but instead they reduced the size of the container you get. Another place I go to use the same container but put less in it. Should just bring my own lunch more often!

The shouting tram driver

This guy screams at other motorists who fail to stop when the tram is about to open the door or want to overtake just after the door closes. Pretty amusing but gets annoying after a while as a passenger. If I'm driving he'll probably scream at me because I would want to take off and overtake when the door closes. He was shouting "hang on, hang on, Oii!" to the car next to him with his PA system. I guess I can't complain since he waited for us when we ran for the tram this morning.

So will every Asian kid out there start playing basketball from now?

Seems like Linsanity is catching on and even here to stay after outscoring Kobe Bryant in the latest game. Caught a glimpse of the Chinese news on TV and there were people watching the big screen in Asia. Is he the latest Asian superstar? Will every kid out there start playing basketball? Will he alone spark a global growth spurt and make the Asian gene taller?

Uh oh

Sitting opposite cockroach man on the tram again!

Use your head

Working with someone who just wants to be told step by step even though the answer is right in front of them. Seriously, 2 tables with only 1 matching column, how do you think you can join them together?

Clean up after yourself please

New neighbors on our floor at work started a kitchen roster because they can't clean up after themselves. We have been on the same floor for close to a year now and never had any issue with the kitchen being dirty because when you finish eating, you wash your own stuff, which is a pretty normal thing to do. Well... apparently not!

Our team opted out of the roster but it didn't stop them from putting us in it. We chose to ignore because we told them we want no part of it and this week it was suppose to be our turn. On Monday when I got to the office a whole pile of plastic containers were dumped in the sink. Today we got an email from the roster task master telling us how dirty the kitchen is and how we should be cleaning it up. We politely reminded them that we are not part of the roster and we got an "oh I didn't know response".

You would think that is the end of it but no, our project manager received a complaint from the other team that we are not pulling our weight with keeping the kitchen clean. Seriously, if you finish eating, wash your fricken plates! Your mum or maid is not here to clean up after you!
