The thing I would hate most in my ‘bright’ future is to wake up early…..whoever said that as you grew older, you need less sleep, obviously had not had a good night’s sleep ever…….my head hurts *ouch*
So here I am, half an hour early at the state high court, waiting for boss who is late yet again………so I waited for an hour in all…. I think he enjoys ruining my sleep for nothing but anyway now he owes me a second lunch (the first for winning an earlier bet)………and then the second for keeping me waiting………I thought I could wrangle a free lunch for the whole office, and he said I became a union’s leader….^.^……..hey, I’m just looking out for the ‘little’ people……..
Boss does enjoy talking a lot……the last time in his car, something got into my eye and I was rubbing ferociously with tears streaming from that one red eye, and he continued talking!!!! I think he enjoys teaching people………he also was telling a lawyer, youngish looking, about probates (the action to gain rights to execute a will) when she only asked how long it’ll take before it’s his turn and her turn to see the assistant judge……..
Anyway, I still think that market forces allow sellers to give buyers a discount, no matter what boss say about a conspiracy………..
It’s official! The system is slow….inefficient….and dangerous. The entire court system runs by paperwork with a single computer for registering, and they can actually lose files!! And no one does anything!!! We went around doing some odds and ends of registering some cases, since even though the court had told boss to be prompt at nine, they themselves postponed the case to 11 a.m. so we had plenty of time to spare. Anyway, the big picture? Loads of paper pile ups and no one listening when you try to get their attention……………
Major news….. I met a human rights lawyer…cool!! Although I’m not really sure why we needed human rights lawyers here when there are cases like Guantanamo and Abu Graib prison elsewhere….and Sudan………
I did ask but he vaguely said something else then we got interrupted…..
Interesting conversation though, I mostly listened when learned many things….hehehe….
1. The legality of things…..what the government sanctions are considered legal especially supposedly ‘dirty’ money…….alcohol, cigarettes, bribery of civil servants or law enforcement officials………………it’s supposedly against the law, but if the government allows it, it’s considered legal. For example even though the government is spending millions of money to discourage smoking, one of their divisions actually sells cigarettes as legal merchandise. So just making it ‘legal’ makes it really so? No one ever said that our government was not contradictory……..it’s just a scenario of closing one eye and letting the other sleep………..
2. Why we keep seeing cases of crime splashed all over newspapers. It’s not that the rate of crime is rising, it’s just that the public is getting more involved and that the government is using it as an easy way to divert the public’s attention, in order to cover up government policies………….clever……….also mostly it’s all public relations for the government officials. Their policies are merely this and that, and they rely on PR to keep them in the ‘high’ list……………………real clever……..
3. The reason why civil servants work slow…it’s because they always think they their boss had received some undertable money (bribes) so they think that the boss might as well do all the work as he passed the action. See how inefficient the system is when every action that is passed is considered to have been brought about by bribery………
Then today was my last day of work…….oh yeah, boss owed me a third lunch cause the decision today was against him too………hahah, me won another bet……got treated to a nice lunch, an mix meat platter *yum yum*………..and I was free!! No more work for seventeen year old me…………… the working world can wait until I get my Masters or PhD……………*bounces*
But ugh, boss on our way back very nicely informed me that the husband of potential boss three (from that day sometime earlier this week) actually died by burning alive in his car, because he fell asleep……………… I think I’m never getting into a car by myself………..
