shaken and stirred...and sooo very sick...

my company carried out its retrenchment (they insisted on calling it "restructuring") exercise on wednesday...

a number of managers (who incidentally weren't in what i called the "iron rice bowl" gang)...all the AAs except 1...got the sack...not too sure how many associates kenna though...

they insisted the selection was based on "performance"---yea...i'm pretty fucking sure it was...

i'm shaken cus my boss is no longer around...now we have no proper engineering manager...in his place is someone my friend calls an angry little boy...an angry little boy who commands alot of influential powers in the industry due to his connections according to my friend...

i'm stirred because wayang triumphs over everything in my company...it doesnt matter if you know nuts...it doesnt matter if you do meaningless stuff which doesnt help the company to earn money...as long as u know how to wayang correctly at the correct time... as long as u know how to carry balls...as long as u have buddies in the iron rice bowl gang who looks after u...i'm pretty sure you'll earn your very own mini iron rice bowl...

the company is just so caught up in getting right its wayang activities...as long as u embrace that 3 letter nonsense, you're a winner!!!

and to think u've seen all the wayang there is while you were in the army...the 3 letter nonsense brings wayang to an entirely whole new level man...it's making me sick...so very very sick...

on the subject of being sick...i kenna some wicked throat infection on tuesday...the infection brought with it bouts of fever and an unforseen kind of sore throat pain i've ever experienced...took me 4 days to start recovering properly...
