I got COVID!!

So I've been in this new job for ~2 months now. It's a Chinese company.

So far, my back and neck are dying cos the chairs aren't adjustable so I slouch. For some reason there's no drawers on my desk, so everything I own is on the table top or the stool next to me. I'm not bringing my full desk set yet cos we expect to be moving offices soon, but not sure when lol 

I'll say in comparison to my old place, this place certainly fares better in teamwork and team spirit. But I suppose that's difficult to achieve in a larger company like my last one, where there's literally no time to appreciate every single person.

I wonder sometimes if I made the wrong decision doing this. I sort of miss talking to more people, being more on the move. I now walk an average of 6000 steps a day, in contrast to the 10k I was managing last time. I also miss looking at more packages, rather than just one that I am now. 

Also, they sort of hinted today that I don't really OT.

I was also the butt of the OT jokes back at the old place, where people say my life is good cos I don't OT much lol it sorta sucks cos I know I'm doing my work, and I think I didn't suck at it, considering how they still sometimes call me in to ask stuff lol 

But I think maybe it does mean I don't actually have that much to do lol but when I really think about it, I still don't see what else I could do that would warrant OT-ing every day lol 

I call this toxic work culture. 

Not that everyone who works overtime are bullshitting their bosses; but it doesn't mean people who don't, have it easy at work. Perhaps we're just faster at our jobs lol 

Maybe I need to start advertising how absolutely ~tired I am.

Seriously though, I've seen a lot of people who work really hard when they don't actually have to lol 

I also really need a chiropractor my neck is dying

Allow me to be self centered for my own blog.

 CONTEXT:

It was 4pm, I was at client's office with my teammate and bosses. The consultant walks in, the bosses get a text and tells us they have to go back immediately. I get 50% curious but mostly annoyed. 

10 minutes later, my other colleague at site office texts me saying "shit the office boy tested positive we're doomed"

2 minutes later, client swings in and says "uh...I think this has to be postponed. I just got informed there's a positive case in site"

An hour later we were all sent to Prince Court to get ourselves tested. Thus my 2 hour long panic begins -

where do I go?? Do I go home?? my parents are old?? 

My mother rationalized and says if I am positive, I would've been positive before this day and I should just go home - a rationale I ignored cos I'm dumb.

My colleague (S) instead offers me a room to stay for the night while we wait for our results, which I take cos  my head was still hot from the hysteria.

My results came out negative the next day @ 4pm. I thank my colleague and go home relieved - we're saved! My parents aren't gonna die in Sungai Buloh! 

Went home and took a full body shower, before sitting down for dinner discussing the day's events.

8pm: S calls, crying, and tells me she's tested positive.

AND SO:

The ensuing panic of preparing the front room for me to stay in, while I whimper in a corner, confirming the world truly cannot let me rest without having some sort of reason to be anxious.

I spend the next few days micro-analyzing my interaction with her in that one day. I didn't really spend a lot of time with her prior due to personal reasons, so it could only be:

a) the one lunch (since literally almost two months) that same day with our ex-subcon, or 

b) the juice she made and insisted I drink (I really, really don't quite enjoy juice like this haha)

The crippling anxiety that I could've infected my family too through dinner renders me useless and I lose my appetite for two days. I can't lie down or do anything without the pang of paranoia slapping me across the face - my chest hurts, my throat itches, my body feels hot.

I open instagram and a lot of the friends I follow are out, having good food. I look out my window and the sun is setting. It hits me that life moves on, whether I die or not. I realize that even if I die today, the world truly isn't that affected - the sun still rises, the clouds still move, people still go to work.

I open Youtube/Netflix to watch shows and I am nostalgic over safer times, when we could touch stuff outside and not get paranoid over being infected by a disease (realistically the risk is still there but not as high).

Spammed multiple friend groups (or to anybody who would listen and not judge) with anxiety stickers praying I test negative. I received mostly lukewarm responses of "it'll be okays". Verinia stopped replying at one point cos she got tired of it hahahaha (what kind of friend....)

Cheryl was more empathetic cos she freaks out over shit like this too like me haha *cries*

AFTERMATH:

I tested negative today!

I don't have a fever!

My throat still itches but it's okay! I'm negative!

Suddenly, covid seems like lightyears away from us! I feel immune! I can fly!

Okay let's continue on. I have emails to reply and work starts next week.

Wow the last I posted was 6 months ago 

Thinking back at how I used to post something every single day, makes me feel so old haha 

don't blog as much anymore cos I just unload my feelings on Whatsapp 

And cos I have so much rage within me (see note: my spirit is a 60 y/o uncle ala Ove from A Man Called Ove), I tend to split it between 4-5 groups...but I can tell people are getting tired of it haha case in point, Verinia told me to get a life and stop dwelling on things so much

Not gonna lie, it hurt a little, but I totally understand why people would feel this way hahaha I know how it feels being on the receiving end of constant nagging about ~annoying things

I wish I had a larger threshold for people's "quirks" (usually it's general idiocy/ laziness) 

I make myself feel better by saying it means I have a more boss attitude for life (shut up), but really I probably just really do need a life.

------------------------------------------------------------

Been having drops in my mood recently (usually occurring around my period...) cos all I feel is varying amounts of empty inside. I guess this is what those sad poetry mean when they say you're just a shell - all hollow inside.

I don't know what I'm doing here. Every day I wake up, go to work and then go home. There is literally nothing I can do, or dare to do, cos of the whole covid situation. 

I mean, I can't blame my lack of life on covid, but it certainly isn't helping!!! I'm already anti-social! I'm already cripplingly awkward around people! Ugh

------------------------------------------------------------

This morning I went to the sky garden one level down from the site office to menikmati air segar but there were workers lurking around so I felt awkward (workers tend to stare a lot lol it's quite creepy) so I just walked around and U turned back. 

In the short 5 minutes walking, my eyes got a little wet for no reason at all. I just got hit by a sudden wave of feels for nothing.

It was like a culmination of sadness and total nothingness. 

I'm 24 and I have no life.

This is so depressing.

------------------------------------------------------------

The people in the office want to know why I don't have a boyfriend

People who know me for longer have probably accepted the fact that I will be the way I am forever

Me?

I don't know lol it's not that I'm strictly against having a partner, I just haven't really developed anything beyond crushes, cos the people I like don't like me, and the people who do, I just cannot bring myself to like lol 

I'm just destined for a life alone at this point hahaha 

It just concerns me cos the people around me are gonna slowly get married off and soon I will truly be alone, cos everybody would be even more busy with their personal family lives to entertain my regular rages lol no one will be there to even send sticker responses to my texts

Maybe I need a hobby? But what?

------------------------------------------------------------

Last month, the company realized the project they've been eyeing has been put on hold (agAIN) till the indefinite future (rumor has it, it'll be reopened April 2021, but the insiders I know are being transferred to other departments, so probably not....) 

and so, they've starting sending termination letters out. A whole bunch of people are gonna leave end November/ December... 

My boss told me I would've been let go end November, but he extended it to December.

Two weeks ago, he told me to send him my CV so he can try to land me in another project.

So far? No news yet - typical of this company I'm in lol they literally tell you nothing until the absolute last minute.

Which is why it's really frustrating if I stay - I'll have to endure their shitty management and planning for even longer.

The pros? They have the backup money to pay us our salaries

The cons? I probably won't learn much except subordination lol 

Trying other places now but nothing back yet.... I'm quite concerned.

Please pray for me

I'm just gonna talk whatever here lol I ain't no writer, I'm not gonna have a cohesive train of thought.

I'm so accustomed to writing emails I almost started this post with "Dear all," lol

But hey! I just checked the last date of posting and it's been an entire year??? Now that we're stuck in a quarantine, it warrants hauling out my laptop and charger haha still didn't replace the battery cos I can't bear to split with 500 bucks for a new one so I'm running on DC.

Even though I spend 500 bucks on sneakers no problem now #millenialissues

Man, so much happened but it seems like nothing now. I'm still with the same company, still pondering my existence in this world every passing moment.


The end of 2019 was one of the darker moments - I found myself crying in front of the screen when work started based on the sheer thought of doing all this for the next 10??20?? years of my life. Like, is this really what I want to do with the rest of my life??

I blame this mini crisis for my increased caffeine consumption lol I spend about 200 bucks a month on iced coffee cos I can't start work happy without some indulging. Though I try to limit myself to one iced coffee maximum every other day haha

It's not like I hate anybody I work with (although truthfully sometimes they drive me up the wall with their inconsistencies and lack of work ethic);

I think mainly, I'm just really bored with what I'm doing.

I'm not really making a huge difference, nor am I actually growing anymore. Now, I'm just here to finish the job lol and I've always had an issue with finishing anything.

When I first joined this job, I fluctuated between "yeah! I'm gonna finish this project and it's gonna look great on my portfolio! I'm gonna go places!!" and "oh my god what am I doing with my youth"


And okay, in one of my darkest moments of working with the company, I suddenly got the opportunity to go to the head office in Seoul and it was a pretty cool experience. But it makes one question - what next? This is as good as the company is gonna offer me; I have no future in this company cos a) I'm not Korean, b) I don't speak Korean, and c) I'm not really obedient 100% of the time and I don't think I can survive in their culture lol it's so limiting! I want to speak my mind! I want to have opinions!

And okay, so you're gonna tell me to find a new job already and put myself out of this misery.

But truthfully? I'm working for the cash now. As much as we complain about the company, it's not like they treat us like shit lol how many places can match your salary, guarantee a bonus and increment, and feed you so much shit every few months (literally, there's a staff welfare budget lol we get random Haagen Dazs or imported fruit)??? And the people I work with (ok, just a small percentage haha) know their shit and I get to learn new stuff.

But is it time to move on? Broaden my horizons?

Brad Leone - my main crush from the BA test kitchen

I've been watching Bon Appetit videos a lot (even before this quarantine) and like, this is what I envision my life to be! Brainstorming and creating with people like me but not like me (generally, architects tend to be....really pretentious....or I just lack the ~sense~ idk)

At the same time... I can barely mince garlic hahahahahahahaha
And I also hate so many food groups........ I'll probably be a really shit chef on the basis that I dislike so many things and for the things that I like, I'm really particular with how I like them

So really, what is my calling?? I'm not particularly good at anything? I can't finish anything I start cos I get distracted lol I don't know what these articles about Tauruses are on when they say we're finishers cos I generally don't finish anything I start lol except for the ones that can be finished in one day.

Case in point, I'm bored of writing lol

Bye!

idk if I could ever quit Instagram or Twitter, but I don't think it's all that important seeing how I dont have damn time to do anything on those platforms anyway lol. Or the Internet connection cos idk why admin pulled out the router at my corner of the office so we all have to play tug of war with the other departments T___T Mr M pls consider reinstalling the router T___T

but hey!
I'm back!
I got a job! It's my third month here and I'm working with Korean managers!
There's also only three other Chinese in the office!
The others are all Malay and like. A couple of Indians!
I feel like this is how the world compensates all the Chinese I'd been surrounded by in uni for the past four years hahaha time to brush up on my already cripplingly bad Malay
Seriously I'm so hopeless with Malay hahaha I need like 2 minutes to process what they're telling me but when I finally get it they've already explained it over in English hahaha

I won't go into detail about my work experience (so far)
I can only say that maybe I'm being too fussy and I complain too much about other people's mistakes, when I myself make a ton as well.
It's not really about the mistakes only either, it's the fact that nobody cares despite of it lol. I know y'all are only here to get the name on your resume or just looking for a salary but like, can you have some sort of commitment or passion in what you're doing?!?! Otherwise what is the damn point of working there?? Please try to be proud of your work, no matter what you're doing.


What is the point of waking up so early every day if you're not proud of what you're doing!?
I am so sick of some people's attitudes of being too comfortable and being okay with their work quality. Or maybe it's cos I have Archi background and we're taught that your work will never be perfect and there will always be room for improvement; subsequently we have higher standards for ourselves and have simultaneously horrible self esteems but egos the size of Mars.

But seriously people!
Please!
DO YOUR WORK PROPERLY. Yes, it won't be perfect but it doesn't mean you can feel content about the state of it!
Please have some humility and feel some shame!

I HAVE NOT AND AM NOT A PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT NOR AM I A TRAINED PSYCHOLOGIST. All I have relating to this matter is being a very confused bystander. DON'T COME @ ME IT'S JUST MY OPINION

In light of Jonghyun and Chester's recent suicides, depression has been really getting a limelight for being a very serious mental disorder and how it drives people into killing themselves to alleviate themselves from the pain. And OK I understand this. In a way to say that I understand the words you are saying but I don't really understand the meaning behind it. I'm speaking from a standpoint of somebody who probably has a very low EQ.

It's hard to sympathize with the depressed for me simply because I don't understand the kind of pain they're apparently in. It's probably because I've seen way too many over dramatic people (am I allowed to say this? Or is it politically incorrect like 10000000 other things in 2017) on Facebook chronicling how they have no friends, or nobody loves them, or they're soo(OOOOOOOO) lonely. And these same people claim to be depressed themselves.

THIS IS WHERE I BECOME EXTREMELY CONFUSED AND CONSEQUENTLY I AM ALSO VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY. But I'm gonna say it anyway cos it's my blog here.

What's depression? What and where is the line between depression and just feeling sad? Do people know how to distinguish between the two? Are the people who claim to be depressed REALLY depressed, or are they just ignorant and over-dramatizing their problems?

Some people may tell me that you should sympathize with people who are sad anyway, but I find it difficult to do that when most people's problems are just so....solvable?? If it's not relationship problems, it's familial conflicts or like, you got yelled at by your boss or something. I may tell you "awhh, don't feel sad" (which I do very very sparingly, and only when I truly do not think you can handle what I really want to tell you), BUT I REALLY JUST WANT TO TELL YOU TO GET OVER IT.

I understand most people when they rant or tell you about their problems, they're really just looking for a comforting shoulder to cry on. But I'm not the freaking fairy godmother, I can't bippity boppity boo your problems away! You may feel better for like 10 minutes, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE YOU HAVE TO FACE IT ANYWAY

I digress from the point of my blog post.
Anyway, a lot of people who have these conflicts in their lives may also have depression. How am I, a curious but very very ignorant bystander, supposed to deal with it? I don't want to be the person who indirectly drives you to your grave!

People often focus on the person who committed suicide (justifiably so, as they're not around anymore to feel unsorry for) but there's not enough sympathy on the people who know of the problem, but couldn't do anything to stop it.

I mean, in Nine's post about Jonghyun, he alleged that they were aware of his problem. They tried to talk him out of it and it only worked to delay the final event. How would they feel? How is a person who doesn't know anything about depression, has never been depressed (and also have a very low EQ) supposed to deal with their loved ones being depressed (or allegedly so)? We're in the mercy of your mood and medication, and the only thing we can do is walk on eggshells around you or like, idk, make a cup of hot chocolate for you (does it even help???? For the depressed I mean.) or even tell you we love you every day and give positive encouragement. How are these people supposed to feel when the person they love tries to kill themselves and they've done everything they can to help and stop it from happening?

I hesitantly jump on the bandwagon and feel sorry for the deceased just so people won't come up my ass with "DEPRESSION IS SERIOUS" or "MENTAL DISORDERS KILL"

I KNOW, OKAY, I KNOW. I'm not saying that I'm disregarding mental disorders entirely, but how does one truly identify whether or not somebody is truly depressed? I'm not the type to feel sympathy for petty problems (because it does nothing but spoil people into becoming even more dramatic over small issues because nobody ever told them that it doesn't really matter), how do I know when to be serious about it?

I've read and watched videos about depression and the experiences of somebody who's recovering from depression. It's (apparently) a feeling of uselessness and loneliness, and the world wouldn't suffer without you existence; it's something you can't easily get rid of. And okay, I understand this feeling of helplessness, but what I don't understand is how some people can "get out of it" and some people can't.

Is it the problem with the psychiatrist you're seeing? Is it the environment you're in? Or are you really just the only problem?

Maybe I need to feel more empathy for people instead of using my (again, alleged) low EQ as an excuse for being an asshole. And maybe people who feel sad and depressed need to know, that as harsh as it may sound, the only way to "get out of it" is to get over yourself.

Okay, I know depression cannot be controlled easily (I am absolutely not saying it can't be controlled at all, because the same people who even coin the term depression also believe that it is a treatable disorder, and therefore it means there is a cure. And since it's a mental disorder, it means the only way to cure it is to change the way you think, either consciously or subconsciously) and it comes very suddenly no matter what you do. But I do not think I can forgive somebody who lets the darkness consume them. I can feel sorry that it happened, I can feel sad that you have passed on. but I can absolutely not forgive you for letting it overcome you.

When you're feeling sad or depressed, you tend to only tune into the things you want to hear. But sometimes, the things you want to hear are not the things you need to hear. That's my two cents on the matter.

To the person I have wronged so so so so so many years ago, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

I actually quite like listening to you talk, because you are a person of substance.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

I've blogged so little this year haha have been really busy with final year projects and shit like that AND NOW I'M THREE MONTHS (unless I fail this semester...in which case I will cry) AWAY FROM GRADUATING AND GETTING MY DEGREE AND HAVING TO HAVE TO EARN MY OWN INCOME COS I WON'T BE GETTING A CUSHY POCKET ALLOWANCE ANYMORE AND I'M SO SO SO BROKE RIGHT NOW BUT I DON'T WANT TO JUST GET ANY OLD JOB YOU KNOW I WANT THIS TO COUNT

Which brings me to the topic of whenever lecturers tell you to not take the criticism to heart and that they're just talking about your project not you as a designer. Which doesn't make sense to me because don't people pour a part of their identities into their projects? How can I not feel offended or hurt when you comment on my project and give bad feedback? In every project I invest myself into there's a piece of my soul there, of course I'm gonna feel wounded 😭


I'm still improving in terms of accepting criticism but my stomach still burns fire whenever I receive bad feedback hahaha I can't help it. It's a mix of embarrassment, rage and waves of sadness T__T thinking about it makes me sad again hahahaha I MEAN IT'S PART OF THE JOB TO GET THIS KIND OF NEGATIVE ENERGY AND IT'S ABOUT HOW YOU RISE UP AGAIN BLABLABLA


In other news, I'm currently on the look out for a good interior design job or internship so I can finally invest in something I'm interested in, and see for myself if it's right for me, before it's too late and I get too old and what once was "fresh ideas" become "dated" and "backwards".

Gotta live on the fast lane right

1. My group is pretty cool
2. Most of the Taiwanese students are low-key savage, and are very funny to be around with
3. Thank goodness for the #zerofare Grabcar promo code or we would've spent at least 50 bucks travelling around Melaka
4. I hope we didn't overfeed them hahaha #team10kg
5. Lecturers in charge seriously need to go for planning courses or something because they all like to follow up on jobs that weren't previously mentioned (aka, last minute work every week)
6. Always think thrice before joining any committee of any sort
7. I wasn't even in the committee, because all I literally did was design the banner and somehow it exploded into various graphic jobs?? I don't mind the graphic part, it's the last minute-ness of it all that really irks me. Because I could produce a better job if people just told me exactly how things should be in the beginning lol
8. Small eyes have never been so appealing until you're surrounded by them HAHAHAHA 
9. I'm so relieved the workshop has ended!
10. But can't they stay longer hahahahaha
11. When my lecturer told us that we could all gather and standardize our slideshow formats, I died a little inside. Because what for!??!?! WHAT FOR!??!?! 
12. We standardized our format for literature review because they told us we may print it for the Taiwanese students to see. The keyword here is may because it didn't happen in the end BECAUSE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THESE THINGS VOLUNTARILY ARE ALREADY UP TO THEIR THROAT WITH THE AMOUNT OF PLANNING THE LECTURERS THROW AT US LAST MINUTE!!!
13. I don't think anybody has the time to do pointless work like this. It truly is rather pointless. #nobodygottimeforthat

This drama is just so /cries 

to update me in the future, when I want to have a cringe marathon, here's what's been going on since sem started:

1. Site visit for measured drawing, Melaka

Points to remember in the future if I will ever be cursed with the chance to go for measured drawing again:
- SPACING BETWEEN WINDOWS EZHEN REMEMBER SPACING BETWEEN WINDOWS
- TAKE ALL PHOTOS OF THE CEILING TOO FOR THE BEAMS THE BEAMS
- VIDDDEEEEOOOOSSSSS I cannot stress this enough because sometimes photo angles go   weird and you can't see what you want to see.

Anyway, we went for the Malaysia Youth Museum, situated in Dutch Square. Kinda ironic to have a youth museum if you ask me, considering the building is probably the most aesthetically boring within the perimeters of the area. They probably only put it there cos the place is a tourist hot-spot.

It would be weird if they put it in some obscure place like oh, I don't know, A CEMETARY. Will talk more about this later.

I'm reading a book called Dear Enemy by Jean Webster and the protagonist is so relate-able!

"-and also, no matter what the doctor wants, so positive and dictatorial is his manner that just out of self respect one must take the other side. When he states that the world is round, I instantly assert it to be triangular"

I can relate to this so well because my brother is exactly like the doctor, with his condescending airs and his stubborn nature. His stupid know-it-all attitude that makes it so difficult to agree with his words.

"I have just been holding an interview with a woman who wants to take a baby home to surprise her husband. I had a hard time convincing her that, since he is to support the child, it might be a delicate attention to consult him about its adoption. She argued stubbornly that it was none of his business, seeing that the onerous work of washing and dressing and training would fall upon her. I am really beginning to feel sorry for men. Some of them seem to have very few rights."

idk maybe it's not as funny to you as it is to me. But I like the tone of this book, and she's really witty and has a way with words that just pulls at my funny bone.

Having friends from different groups, with different interests and different personalities, and with each you interact a little differently to get along
Ever want to stop shaping yourself to fit into someone's hole?
Ever felt like you don't really belong, and there won't be one single person who can understand all sides of you?
It's like having a split personality, and you've pulled apart too long to remember who you used to be and what you used to really like
But everybody needs somebody, and if no one likes you, who's your somebody? So sometimes trying to fit in isn't as bad as psychologist wannabes want you to believe

1. Why do some clinics have doors, and others don't? Is it to keep the air conditioning in? Or because door knobs harbor so much germs? Or because some clinics can't afford doors? Or to look more welcoming? Someone answer, please.
2. 
   
   Isn't this lovely? It's one of the very very few MVs where they all have normal hairstyles :')
   Petition to make GD go back to this hairstyle!
3. Why is my entire being so asymmetrical (also, why can I never spell asymmetrical correctly?? WHEN WILL I STOP SPELLING IT ASSYMETRICAL) ?
   From my hair to my toes, nothing's balanced wtf not even the curve of my legs are the same! MY HAIR IS HALF CURLY HALF STRAIGHT, HALF THIN HALF COARSE. ONE SIDE OF MY JAW IS MORE CURVED THAN THE OTHER. ONE BUTT SAGS MORE THAN THE OTHER AND THE LIST GOES ON.
   Have I really been living, leaning on one side more than the other? IS THAT WHY.
4. I have a flu going on I can't think at the moment this is too much effort

1. I'm 20 ;__;
   
   
   
2. It doesn't feel any different, except I have to get used to telling people I'm 20 now
3. Ugh ugh ugh ugh 
4. I don't want to grow up I don't want to get a job I don't want to leave this comfortable lifestyle to one that's a constant battle between taxes and horrible bosses
5. I don't want to stop taking naps in the afternoon 
6. but I can't cos semester 2 starts in two weeks
7. TWO WEEKS.
8. Next sem's site is in Cameron Highlands whoop whoop
9. STRAWBERRIES
10. I'm still young at heart.
11. Ugh ugh ugh ugh

To the people who comment on the way I look:

1. Yesterday was my last presentation for Studio 3

I write this before I begin (ugh) my report assignments (why are there so many?!?)

I've been the de facto group editor ever since group report assignments existed. I'm only ever not the group editor when (a) there's someone better and more of a control freak than I thank god, or (b) I lack the knowledge and expertise on said area.

People seem to think I actually enjoy editing??? I DON'T. I HATE IT. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT. But I can't not be editor because I've been let down one too many times, by people who simply are too lazy and can't be bothered to read everything and just copy paste everything into one document. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT.

1. People seem to forget that you too, have a lot of other assignments to attend to. So sometimes you get disgusting excuses from them that they were too busy doing some other assignment. Bitch, like I'm so free right
   It's the same thing with being the person who writes the notes on the board when the teacher is absent/lazy and you have to submit said notes on the same day as well. And no one remembers that you basically wasted half the period writing for other people. 
2. Some people are nocturnal and only start to work in the late evenings, and tend to send you their parts at 4 fucking am, even after you specifically asked for it before 12am 
3. People think your brain functions 100% 24/7, and they just have to push a laptop to your face and you'll make wonders happen.
4. When you're not the group editor, and you see the final report someone else has compiled..................................... god.
5. Some people only make sense in their mind, and only 10% of their parts make sense to you. So you spend more time deciphering what the fuck they mean.
6. Attitude problems. God. People think you have all the time in the world, or editing takes 10 minutes only (these are the people who only copy paste everything into one file with confidence that you've done well, just because).  So when you send the file back, they send you their same horrible part with an attitude attached.
   
   
7. When citing references is compulsary, and some ass-wipes can't be bothered to find out how to cite properly. And they're also ~too lazy~ to redo when you send it back. You fucking cunts.
8. PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ THE FUCKING ASSIGNMENT BRIEF AND SEND YOU SOMETHING OFF-TOPIC. READ. THE. FUCKING. BRIEF. PLEASE.
