Driving under the influence

I want to know, how do you want to see people when they are driving or when waiting for the traffic light to change to green? Do you want them to concentrate on driving and be alert when the light changes to green or do you want them to be laughing or having crazy laughs or acting like a crazy person, eating a pie, putting on make up, dancing or trying to dance to the music in their car thus making the car move up and down or sideways if possible or reading or sleeping and miss the changes of the traffic light and then getting honked?

I really don’t understand, people have said that I’m very serious while driving, most recently yesterday. Well I have to be don’t I, I’m concentrating. Here I am thinking that the roads are not the place to be having fun or not concentrating, more so if you are behind the wheel, responsible for the vehicle you are handling. There is a time and definitely a place to be having fun and being crazy, but the road and being behind the wheel is not the time or place.

Maybe they are like that while they are driving or their friends or family are like that but I’m not and so far, I’ve never seen anyone quite dumb such as that, doing those things like eating pie or dancing. But then again I have seen people reading while waiting for the light to change and because of those people, others behind them missed the green light but the awful reader person zoomed on. How inconsiderate is that. And I have seen another, a girl picking out her dandruff from her hair looking into the rear-view mirror after adjusting it to see her head and then the light changes and she didn’t even adjust her mirror. Why? Because she was kelam kabut already, wanting to drive. She picked at her dandruff and threw it out of her window. Eww. Another guy I have seen was busy organizing the backseat and clearly was not concentrating (how to concentrate if looking behind when you are supposed to be looking at the front?

I’m not like those people and I don’t want to be. So what if I’m serious while driving. But how come people act really odd if you do? Very weird isn’t it?

While I’m typing this, my colleague still hasn’t come down yet and it is 9 am already. It’s a Saturday but still, and I am doing a report here and have already told the shit covering person that I will come down soon, I just have a few rants to get out of me first.

There, all out.

EDIT: So, I mentioned about my colleague not yet in the office when it was already 9am, well she was actually already in the office but downstairs. The crazy lady at TPS called about 8 am but no one answered, of course since we are not open until 8.30 and the shit covering person is engaged if she was there already. Anyway crazy lady got upset no one picked up the phone and so she called the boss. The boss could not answer her question which is how long does it take for a document to reach Hong Kong. So the boss called the office, but no one picked up as well since shit covering person is engaged. He then called my uncle who is on leave today. My uncle called the office and SCP told him that I will be coming down soon but I have a report to do first. Then boss called the office and was told the same thing. Then, the crazy lady called and her IMPORTANT question was answered. But before that of course, the boss called my colleague and told her to come down 'since a lot of customers are calling me' he said (but in reality it was only the crazy lady). So that is what happened while I was upstairs doing my report and blogging :D.

But here is my question, the crazy lady has been working with this company for a long time already, a long long time already..shouldn't she be familiar with looking up the time frame for a document to arrive at a certain country? What has she been doing all these time then? Counting money? Harassing people? She should know how to do so already isn't it? Sheesh crazy lady.
