Monday & then Friday - i love fridays

Well, monday was as usual, the start of a new week, for everybody. Be it if you are work, school, home, sleeping, dreaming or whatever you are doing, the fact which nobody can escape is MONDAY is blues and its a start to a new week in whichever year, you are in.

I dread that fact. YUCKS!

Well, so much for a brand new start to the 23rd week of year 2008, seems like every week i'm doing the same thing over and over again, in camp.

But there is one thing i always enjoy working on and realising it, THAT is BOOK OUT!

Somehow, i encountered one particular incident in which it happened to me before, but i didn't realise it and of course not to mention, ponder and give thoughts into it.

On last friday afternoon, there was this 1st sergent, who asked a group of my platoon mates (inclusive of myself) to clean up the containers that just came back from india recently, initially we were told by our commanders to clean up, just those containers that carried our goods, but the 1st sgt just came and barked at us, and demanded that we clean up every containers there were, in the area, which i counted was 15 containers. OH MY GOD LA, 1 container took us about 10 mintues to clear up, and imagine 15 containers x 10 mintues = 150mins ( 1hr plus ).

The thing that i want to highlight in this entry wasn't the clearing up of the containers or 15 containers at one go, but rather i want to bring the scope to the barking and unreasonable demands that was demanded and spoken out by that 1st sgt.

The barking wasn't of much a help to the process of clearing up the containers, as courtesy would be helpful as, we wouldn't be filled with anger and grumble, as we clear the containers. Instead of using words like: " OI! Clear up all the containers here, and HELLO! can't you see there are pail of paints in front of you, bring them over there and put!" I suggest using words like:" dun mind, please help me clear up the containers, as i only one person here doing, i need your help. Please help me carry the pails of paint over to there and put, thank you.

Simple and short words like the latter phrase would sure bring people whom you dunno, to help you no matter what, perhaps to win their hearts over, to help you further in future, as there would never be an ending to moving things from one end to the other end in army.

Vedict: Ponder over words, before using them unwisely, as unwise words may lead to unwanted trouble and as the folks said before, trouble starts from our mouth.
