it is a simple task, a simple ctrl + c, something that takes not more than 10 seconds. forgotten. the result is 4 extra hours of work. a phrase was forgotten, it went to print nonetheless, and i spent 4 hours after work making stickers to paste the phrase back.
while it is so easy to blame it on my colleague for forgetting, so easy that im sure most people would just do that. a sermon last sunday reminded me that many times, we should learn not to blame the circumstances, and take responsibility of things that go wrong. at the end of the day, i was given a copy to check through. i could have ensure that i had the material to check it, but i took the easy way out and assumed it was checked.
recently, i had an encounter with someone who seems to have troubles accepting responsibility for things that have gone wrong, many times, there's always some reason for it, and the reason is never because of him. in fact, an apology such as "sorry, it's my fault" is something i never heard. i shouldnt be, but imust admit im getting somewhat irritated by this behavior. it is so juvenile, such as the times when one is a child, and to get away from blame, they come up with childish excuses.
what a long day today was. dinner with huimin on monday feels so long ago now. it was so nice meeting a friend where there is no nonsense to deal with, having a good conversation when i talk when i have things to talk about, and just listen when i run out of things to say. a time when sometimes i wonder who my friends are, it's nice knowing there are still some of them around.
i may not be a perfect person, but i never thought of myself as a bad person. how far i have fallen.. never did i think that there will be a day where a friend (or so i think) would constantly rant about how i choose to do things. i guess what keeps me from getting annoyed is reminding myself that i expect people not to judge how i live my life, i shldnt judge how others choose to live their's
