Lately I’ve been having these rant waves coming quite consistently at half past 2 everyday.

This annoying wave would usually last for the next four hours, while I do my work and try to concentrate on not screaming at the next stupid person to step on my tail.

For example that fat kid now with the cell phone and talking like he’s on an open-top train to his semi-deaf 95 year-old grand mama.

I know that I should be counting down the days till when I say bye bye to this mud hole (as someone put it in perspective for me today), but these little things just build up and threatens to explode.

Or in this case, I’d have to implode to lessen the noise level.  Never stoop to your enemy’s level.

So again, back to my rant waves. They are basically a sort of persistent and highly irritating subconscious buzz (bad kind, not trippy happy) that keeps going on at a 40,000 – 50,000 kHz. You can’t actually hear it but it drives you nuts.

The only way of even remotely suppressing this, is to talk to somebody or something. Which in my case, there’s just no one around to talk to at work. Everyone’s either busy, or in the environment, we can’t chit chat.  There’s a serious lack of humor in this office and I can’t change anything.

office environment aside then, whenever I am doing the frontline work here, I have to restrain myself from verbally abusing the visitors.

There is just a general lack of common sense. Even a boutique is quieter than this place of self-learning and study. I wonder if the overall lack of ‘control’ or ‘restrictions’ here is the cause of the bad behaviour.

They are not stupid or retarded, and I would like to assume that they know I am not stupid or retarded either. I am not some fuddy-duddy older person at the counter who doesn’t give a shit and just needs to put food on the table for my under privileged life.

No.  I have had a good 20years-ish of education, and more common sense than the whole level of you people put together. And I intend to continue using them for the rest of my life, without having to burn out my fuse.

so Thank God for the handful of nice and polite kids I’ve met in my 9 months of work. There is hope in the younger generation, not much common sense , but there’s still hope.

This rant is not helping yet, the rant wave is feeding off today’s excessive noise levels and extreme presence of bimbo-ness in passing conversations by visitors.

Need to breathe.
