Critical

Yeah isn't it just typical of me to leave after posting a cluster of unappealing articles, only to reappear weeks later with no reasonable explanation. Golly..

I swear to God, it's so difficult to work with someone who sucks at English, and my boss is one classic example. But Ben, what if he stumbles upon this blog and sees what you post about him? It's alright, I doubt he can get past the first sentence anyway. So recently, I've been tasked to help him write his reflections, and more often than not, I suck at it, mainly because I don't understand a single word he's trying to say. Yeah, that's how bad his English is. If I'm feeling suicidal and want to enhance the difficulty of my task by a million times, I'll probably ask him to explain himself.

Now if you've served your NS before, then you'll know that working with an army spec can be a total nightmare. I don't want to look down on them, but it is a fact that most of them join for the money, because nowhere on Earth will they be paid so much with so little education. More often than not, they come from boorish backgrounds; so throw a bunch of them together, and well.. you get the general idea of how the Army runs. A has an idea, B has another idea; bunch of swear words flying in all directions, and nobody gets anywhere. Being an army clerk isn't as glamorous as what most people think. You do more work for dumber people, and you're being paid less.

I'm not without controversy, so I'll say it again: I'm not a patriot, and I think two years of my youth spent in camp as a form of duty is absolute horse shit, because ain't no way I'm going to catch up to my female counterparts achieving so much more in life. The amount of brainwashing they serve you is amazing; I mean just look at the latest movie, "Boys to Men". Oh and yes, asking them if it's a propaganda movie WILL guilt them into saying yes, because people don't lie.

Lastly, I do try actually, to make my rants lighter and funnier, because they really are. Many people tend to think that people who rant a great deal are usually angsty and have probably had their porn subscription cancelled so they have to find something else to get off to. (It's not a personal experience, I swear!) But this lovely country of mine is not short of drama, so be sure to get your regular dosage of Vitamin Cs (Condescension, Controversy, Cynicism) right here, brought to you by your friendly blogger at Benjamin Lestrange! (it's true, I'm not unapproachable like what people at Church Camp say I am, oh wait..)
