Sideline waiting.

Hmm...

This has been bugging me for a couple of days. And I need to let it out now since I am having a moodswing now. So might as well. If anyone involved feels offended, I apologise in advance.
I had a course last week at Climb Asia. It was a course for the young boys and girls. Super energetic kids. I took charge of bouldering introduction with Izzat, Sum and Winfred.

The kids were running around and it was quite messy. We had to like spot kids while they messed around. At one point in time, I was walking around trying to follow some kids who wanted to climb another wall and Liting (the lady in charge of the instructors) commented on something that I felt was rather disturbing. She commented I seem to be EATING SNAKE (slacking).

I have worked for so many courses and I dare say I have never lazed around when I am taking a course. Yes I may seem uninterested at times but I dare say I carry out my duties professionally. I dare swear. Just because I wasnt doing anything at the moment, doesnt mean I slacked.

I wasnt in charge of doing vertical belaying for that particular course. But seeing that Farah was shorthanded, I helped belayed a couple of the kids. It wasnt an obligation but I did it. Not claiming any credits here but you get what I mean.

K. Enough said. I didnt bother to explain to her at that point in time. Perhaps it was just a sweeping casual statement and perhaps she didnt mean it. I know she didnt mean it. I dont blame her and I will forget about this issue very soon. No hard feelings. After all, she is the boss and its her duty to ensure instructors are up to the standard.

But I just hate being accused of doing something that I never did. IT IS NOT JUSTIFIED. FPISSED. Especially when it comes to work.

To top it off, it doesnt help when you get a notification at 3am telling you that due to some cancellation of participants, you do not need to report to work the next day.

Yes. I am complaining and I am slightly upset. Yes. Moodswing perhaps

Not retaliating to nonsense and bullying doesnt mean the subject is fine with all the crap it is recieving. There is a limit and i believe most of the time you guys cross it unknowingly. In army we used to say... When you are too nice, people will take advantage of you and shit on your head.

On a lighter note.... here's a couple of photos.

I just don't like it when people doubt my integrity and my work capabilities. Perhaps I should stop being Mr Nice.
