Entry: Injuries and incompetence 17.4.04



In light of the upcoming interschool girls' basketball tournament next week, organised by my school, the team has to prepare and practise for it. So on Friday during PE we played basketball, girls against boys. 4 games, each went on for 7 minutes.

I played the second game and initially didn't participate in the fourth game. Since the girls' team was short of one player, I joined in the middle of the game. Several minutes later somebody bounced the ball on the floor and it hit part of my lower lip.

There's a cut on the inside of the lip. Damn it was painful, very sore indeed. My teacher gave me a cold can of Diet Coke to compress the swell. There was a bit of blood and when I drank water I could taste the blood.

News: My school principal has just married. He hasn't been to school since Thursday as he's getting ready for his wedding reception on Saturday night. So we didn't practise basketball with him during cocurricular time today. He is our coach, he even said himself that he would take us for basketball practice today. He hasn't even lined up the team!

As of late, I have noticed a lazy and unreliable staff in the school. My school technician takes bloody long to install a software. He was supposed to install this software for TI-83 Thursday because we needed it to finish up our Maths assignment but he had not done it when I asked him Friday morning.

Frustrated as I was, I complained to my English teacher. I mean, how long does it even take to install a freaking software, you have the CD already. I just went, "The school needs a reliable technician. I bet you that if you hire me, I'd get the job done straight away." My teacher had to go to him and asked him for the CD; he installed the software on his notebooks.

The school technician had once put off installing a software for me before and damn right I wasn't happy at all about it. I asked a day in advance and the next day when I needed it he still hadn't isntall it. It absolutely ruined the acitivity I was running for some primary school kids. To top it all off, he said this when I asked him whether he had installed it, "You think I'm a machine?"

I hate it when people get paid big money to do something that they are incompetent in. It makes them bloody lazy because they know they get paid anyway. In front of the boss, they act like they're doing something.

The school network is infested with spywares/bots, worms, bugs and viruses. There's always problems with the network. That should be enough for anybody to tell how incompetent and unreliable he is but no, the school principal is just too blind. Actually, I remember the school technician getting rebuked by the previous school principal. Back then I thought our former principal was being too tough on him but looking at it now, he should have sacked him then.
