I told management that if they want me to continue doing this for the organisation they better buy me good equipment. And so they did. Getting it tomorrow!

My fishtank is not time consuming at all leh! Just need to change 10% of the water once a week or once in two weeks can liao! Maybe time consuming in the sense that I spend a lot of time just sitting in front of the fish tank, spying on what the residents are up to!
i think the most tiring / ma fan part for me is changing the water.
i like to look at aquariums but not maintain them
i need a maid

in my office, the section that uses things like that the most, entrusts the purchase of things to a bloody lazy *&$^# who buys everything using the "lowest quote, cheapest at that site" philosophy... which resulted in them getting two useless samsung digital cams which now cannot focus properly and a decrepit camcorder which requires a tripod at all times else you'd be doing a Blair Witch..

What are you using it to do for the organisation? Are you involved in creating videos for them now?

office! for my use only! we have another one which is shared and I got fed up with having to book the damn thing in advance and sometimes having to return it on short notice for others to use.
and your procurement process sucks. over here I can demand specific models provided I write a justification which is approved by the higher ups.

The rednecks wouldn't want any non-Caucasian to be the next American President, methinks. They are pretty white-supremist in their thinking.

Is this the same ad that you guys have over in SG?
wait wait...what has matty or AV gotta do with me?
other news...even the coffee isn't helping me one notch. already laid off my lunch and yet still zzz.

Waaaah... you have 'expanded the scope of your designation' and have 'successfully multi-tasked' and have exhibited 'talent and creativity over and beyond your job scope'... you're making yourself indispensible, right? Soooo clever!

oh.. we can have specific models if it serves its purpose..
just that the lazy bastard is too damned lazy to write justification for anything, he just goes with the lowest quote.. or the cheapest thing there.. so we end up buying crap...
the finance people don't ask questions because it's the cheapest.. no need to query..

oh yah.. talking about cameras..
the stupid bastards which merged with us, had a blood Nikon F1 or something like that in the dry box...
thing is, lens is in shambles, the body is cracked, the film-loading catch is broken, and most of all, there was no film even if we wanted to use it to take pictures...
i asked and they said it was sitting in the bloody dry box for the past 5 years.. no one wanted to touch it!
i wrote to the admin to get it repaired.. and the same lazy bastard who is now in the other section was then working there too, just condemned it and threw it away...
condemned it, threw it away
and do they buy a D3?
