Rules are rules and they are meant to be followed. Fine. That would have meant if your working hours are 8 to 5 with a lunch break from 12 to 2, you can't work before 8, after 5 and also from 12 to 2. I guess that's how the typical Malaysian office hours are. Fine. It happens at the college office, at the academic office, at the clinics and just put in short everywhere in a government office and even private companies. Fine.
But hey if that happens in all the workplaces, what happens to people who can only settle their stuff at lunch hours? I don't know if anyone feels the same as I do or maybe it's just me who only failed to make time before lunch hours or after lunch hours to settle things in all these places. :(
I wished that there will be shifts for lunch hours so that it's more convenient for people who can deal with their stuff during these hours. Wouldn't that also ease the workload of that particular office or department too? Since they can settle my part and move on to the next after settling mine.
I had this experience once where I had to wait for 10 mins just because I was there at 1.50. Fine. I have class at 2 but I had to hold my patience. I tried telling them that if it was okay to just do it for me and said sorry too because I know it's their rights to have their break. Instead he said no and gave me a lecture about how much they've worked and told me to read the notice which says, "Waktu rehat: 12-2." Fine. But what disappointed me wasn't that, it was when I saw him walking back to the corner to watch TV. So, he continued watching TV in the office just to make me wait till 2. I wouldn't have been so pissed if I didn't see that. He actually made me wait for 10 mins because he wanted to make use of his time watching TV till 2.
I just thought it was ridiculous. The irony of how this whole system works just saddens me. Just saying.
