Sultry Day

Created on 5^th September 2009, Saturday.

It’s hot out there, so when I reached my office I was expected the air-conditional should be function well since it’s hot out there. So I reached my office around 4.50 in the afternoon, once I stepped into my office lobby… I was absolutely getting crazy because it was so sultry and hot like hell!

“Hey, I want to know is that the air-conditional at this area out of order? Why no one switch it on? Aren’t you guys feeling hot and sultry?” I am questioning one of my junior colleagues who seat next to me. “Nothing is wrong with the air-conditional. Anyway you can switch it on if you wished.” She answered me immediately. She staring at me and continue her speak after a while, “Don’t you realized that someone saying is cold here?” “I don’t care what is the grandmother story that person going to tell me and I insisted this air-conditional to be switched on right now and then! If he/she feeling cold, he/she should be common sense a little…” I am kind of frustrated and ordering my junior colleague to let the air-conditional in order.

After 30 minutes, one of the colleagues standing and question of my junior colleague, “Who ordered this air-conditional to be switch on? I am feeling cold here.” She is questioning my junior colleague impatiently. When I heard she is questioning my junior colleague so I just proceed to her and told her, “Hey, it’s me. So what is that regarding? You can tell me directly.” “I’m feeling cold here. Can you switch off the air-conditional?” She just ordered me to switch off the air-conditional as what she expected I will going to do for her. “No way, since you feeling cold here. Why don’t you put on your jacket? It’s because of you are the only person who feeling cold here and you want everybody suffering around because of you? Since you are senior agent, we are expecting you are not working for this company for a month. Don’t you know that if you feeling cold here? You got to put on a jacket but not sleeveless shirt. You don’t even know how to understand others people feelings, you can’t expect people treated you the same thing.” I’m pissed off.

“Zach, your attitude right?” She said. Attitude is our office term means behave our attitude if we did something wrong. “It’s your attitude. Don’t act like a morbid here, senior. I will not switch off this air-conditional for sure. If you are feeling cold, I got 2 solutions for you. Either you leave or put on your jacket. End of the story.” I said.

I just don’t understand why some of the senior here, they really act like so weak but they were fat and I do believe they have more meat to protect themselves. For common sense, if you are feeling cold why don’t you put on more shirts in order to warm yourselves somehow most of them wearing shorts or sleeveless.

End of the day, the air-conditional was function very well until the time we left. The next day, if I meet this kind of situation once I stepped into my office. I will not going to inform them but I will move to the controller and switch on the air-conditional as what I want. I admitted I’m not that easy going person while I’m in the office. Some of them said I’m so mean to them but I would highlight this issue, you are not the only person who working in this office. Kindly consider about other’s feeling and do remember to bring on your jacket if you are feeling cold but not sleeveless shirts.

Content which included in the email that I forward to them,

“Dear colleagues, kindly remember this space not only yourself using it. Do consider about those persons who fighting with you in this reality world. I would love to highlight this issue to all of the beloved colleagues who love to wear sleeveless and keep on complaining about cold environment. As reminder, please bring on your jacket to cover your cold body. Thank you and think about it. Be common sense a little.”

I’m mean anyway. So what?
