I think I did something that counts as ***-for-tat. Here's the story: You see, I'm working now and so I expect things to run smoothly from the admin side of the organisation. It's not like I don't do my job. Since I think this position is indirectly a state job, since it says in my contract I'm an official, plus this position is largely paid by the tax payers (and I think I'm the only one who thinks we should get more done..), well let's just say my hopes for a working admin goes down.
I was right.
This corruption is felt all the way in grassroots level. It seems to me only few people perform, myself of course included. In fact, I told to my 'employer' (even though I have no superiors in here) that should I really push it, I could be done with this project in a month. I thought they'd be happy. I thought, well, they'd be happy, because I'd be able to do the job a lot faster than it was estimated (by them). But no. Shock was the expression. They figured damn it, I have a contract until the fall of this year, and this guy gets done in few weeks? To add to their incompetent pain, my job is this project, OK, so I don't have to do anything else, according to the contract. So, it's not like I have to take up new tasks, so my time is used fully. They'd simply have to pay me extra, or let me go and keep paying me until the end of the contract. So, basically I've been given new tasks if I want to take them, I might, for the price of the same contract, just because I'm bored.
Anyway, so they are incompetent. What about the grassroots? Ok the grassroots level is incompetent as well. Today is a vacation week in here, so very little people are in here, no classes. So mostly just staff. But the cleaning people are here in full force. They were enjoying their coffees in cafeteria, I saw them, so they are ALL here.
So I went to the bathroom. I really had to take a dump badly. I almost ran in to the seat and just dominated a beautiful one, complete release.
Now, what happens next? NO TOILET PAPER!!!! Listen, you are in full force to do your job, and you have clearly not done your job today. You haven't done your usual rounds. Now let me wonder why you are getting paid? It's not to sit and drink coffee, I mean when you have completed your tasks, by all means, do what you want. But when we have all the people doing the same jobs as they usually do, and virtually no people in the building, it shoul dmean the job is easier, yes? No one making a mess, at least no extra mess. SO why is there no TP in the bathroom?
So I figured since I was already done, and would have to hike few floors up to another bathroom to get TP, I woudl teach them a lesson of protestant work ethic, something that has been a big part of western success. Yes, I clogged the toilet. My beauty was there like oversized torpedo, a real gift from yours truly. I figured I could just do what is appropriate and destroy the package. But why should I? It's not like that's part of my job I didn't finish. If I have to hike floors up to find TP AFTER the damage is done, you have to clean my ****, and that's the way it goes.
This is the correct usage of ***-for-that.
I have no regrets.
