Contradiction

Dum dum is very very very busy at work....
 
I have tons of things to do.. but I simply dun feel like doing them..
 
Just got the hotel confirmed for our weekend getaway to Malacca so I am already in half holiday. half weekend mood...
 
Poor dum dum is getting very stressed at work.. exact same situation like I was in Informatics... no time to talk on MSN / Skype.. lots of workload with things that keep accummulating non-stop and emails just keep coming non-stop.... backlogs that can never be solved.... getting fucked for things that arent none of your business.... low pay, no OT yet working lots of overtime.... that is what I called overwork, underpaid.... it is never good to be responsible or too responsible... on one hand you are trying to do the best by clearing all the messes and backlogs (when your supervisor dun even care) and do a good job, on another hand people are just making use of that opportunity to say "look it is your job / your fault so do it.." when it is not even none of your freaking business...
 
I remember an incident in which the exam results and the assignment marks for some students (actually quite alot) got mixed up or even went missing. As a result, there was lots of complaints from the students, lots of blame / responsibilities pushing between the teaching dept, customer service dept, the exam dept and the validation dept... and lots of meetings... in the end I got the blame... but it wasnt even my fault.... the students filled in the wrong course code, wrong module code on their exam registration forms, the customer service executives went to key in exactly as what the students wrote on their forms without even bothering to double check before sending it through to me... and me, being overloaded with more than 20 courses in the entire Business school and more than 1000 students to check and verify (which even working weekends doesnt help) missed out on some of the students' information and sent it through to the validation dept who didnt even bother to check knowing how many students and how many courses there are (they said they dun have the time neither do they have the manpower.. yeh as if I have)... and the lecturers just basically dumped all the assignments in one pile without even bothering to sort it accordingly... gosh.. no wonder the students assignments went missing...... even though they insisted that their students submitted the assignments and they marked it accordingly...(oh yah and they keyed in wrongly too) but when you asked them to find it, they cant.. and they said they have already submitted it all to me.. and I must have been the one to lose it... when I never even seen the assigments... they submitted it straight to the validation dept and they said i lost the assignments..and validation dept said i didnt check...  how stupid can that be...
 
Dum dum was glad i got out of that freaking place after seeing me unhappy and working from 8am in the morning to 12 midnight... and i wish I can console him too now
feel so helpless....
