Oh, the incompetence and injustice
This morning, I walked into my office, flipped open the papers, absorbed the contents and decided that really, this place sucks ass. I feel like walking out of the office now and just go home and watch Vampire Lesbian Kickboxers till bed time(oh yes, there is such a movie).
I attended an event opening with my French co-organiser yesterday. I gave a speech and dutifully played the standard video while the French guy just laid back and drank coffee. I wrote the speech myself the night before. It wasn't a particularly sterling and inspiring speech due to time constraints but the job was okay.
The next morning, the event got covered in the papers. The whole article was based on my speech. BUT the media reported that the French guy was the one giving the speech instead. This is such BS. Monsieur Frenchy sat back, drank coffee the whole morning and the media actually gave him all the credit for giving the speech and doing all the hard work.
Truly a WHAT THE FUCK moment. Courtesy of those idioits at the newspaper who could not even tell an Asian from a French. Do I look French?!!!?! Which part of me look French??!? (I do realise that I have no photo of myself online). I am as Asian as one can get. Heck, I don't even like french fries. Maggie mee > hamburgers anyday.
When I called up the idiot reporter who wrote the paper, I gave him the standard yelling with a huge dose of desk banging and upsized the whole rant with some cursing. He yee-hawed a bit and said that he just took the first name on the list of attendees (the French guy of course - the Lao people still have a hard-on for their past colonial masters and this irrational respect for white men) and just credited him with the speech. So, the lazy fucker wrote the whole article based on MY speech and decided to credit the wrong guy in the process. Oh, joy.
I am irritated. The office tea lady took a look at me and decided to just put my tea down at the far end of my desk and ran away. I now have to explain this whole shitty debacle to my bosses back home which would suck. I decided that I am just going to drink coffee the whole day today and not do any work. If the Frenchman could get away with it, why can't I?
Nothing is going to turn out right today. I can feel it.

Hey, I had my lousy moments yesterday too. In fact, I felt ridicule on stage. Will tell you more when you are back.
I felt the same way as you. Everything seemed wrong.
I tried to blog but it hit me so bad that nothing came out.
