Look Alive!

This is ridiculous.

The place i find convenience in writing an entry is in my uni library! All due to the nonsensical fact that my internet is so gay with my sis downloading her shits.

By the way, update on life!

Uh, am at library com lab pursuing the completion of my final assignment of the semester and my subject, strategic market 325-302. Why at the library? as forementioned, internet speed at home is ridiculously gay. The work is not hard, not tedious, but we’re just last minute people =) The usual stuff.

And um, it’s come to my attention that the semester is nearing to an end – which leads me to conclude that time passes by very fast! come to think of it, it felt like it was just recently the start of this semester; getting used walking to weird lecture venues and shits and stuffs like that. Next thing i know i’m flying back already – which seems to be another issue. Now really.

I’m 21! and i bet, very soon – 22! that’ll be the time i graduate already! It seems unusually big giving the thought of what i want to be or work as or work for WHO as i enter the corporate universe. Hmm? Conversely it’s explicitly difficult to get a job in a proper celebrated company let alone work your way up.

I currently have small, casual, part-time job at Victoria Market. I only work on Saturdays, either 6-11am or 11am till closing (4pm). Believe me, any job is not easy especially if you work for an Asian boss who likes to beat down their workers. Not literally though. Apparently, the bosses enjoy lashing out their temper or impatience. I’m not putting an implication that it happens all the time; just that i conclude that last week was the worst that’s ever been for. Poor Lance for his toe, and some cuts on his hands. And poor me. For mistakenly heard that i was working on full shift (6am to 4pm) which i was actually only addressed to the 11am-4pm shift. Thus poor me had to be served with whole shitload of nonsense which i only made TWO mistakes that day!

Thus in contrast, i think its not bad compared to the first few weeks working there. That was the first mistake (tak dengar properly on working shifts). and the second was during packing, there was this indian lady who kept browsing, digging (literally) around the veggies albeit with me constantly asking her what would she want but she would still decline any sort of assistance.

Consequently, in accordance to Skinner’s reinforcement theory;

• Extinction occurs when a behavior (response) that had previously been reinforced is no longer effective. In the Skinner box experiment, this is the rat pushing the lever and being rewarded with a food pellet several times, and then pushing the lever again and never receiving a food pellet again. Eventually the rat would cease pushing the lever.

Similiar to this scenario, when i asked the lady what she wants, she declines my assistance. And then it repeats again. And she declines. And it repeats. Subsequently, this time, i was so happen packing up (lemons… -_-) and then she was on the other side of the stall and she enquires, “Is this your stall as well?”. And so i JUST replied, “Yes, it is.” So that’s when the so-called applied extinction theory took place.

Incidentally, i call that a stupid move because Mrs.Boss was right there standing and ensues she gets served and very later soon i get a serving of my own after we’ve got done. And no, i did not argue back, of course. I still want my money.

Phew. And that concludes last Saturday’s work. I like to consider myself a reasonable man. I admit my mistakes and i give in when i’m wrong. But these given scenarios really..um…suck.

EH NEE WEIS.

I think someone is looking at me blogging and i don’t like the feeling of being watched while i do something personal (this is not masturbation) so GEWDBAI.
