I feel like blogging - Things that annoy me - part III

All this while i have been blogging about my short trips, its been a long time since my last ranting session so here i go. There are so many things to complain about that its hard to decide where to begin.

Lets begin by referring to my last post about blocked ears, my ears still show no sign of giving up their strike and are adamant on remaining blocked. At least the right one is. It gets irritating when you are forced to hear every word that you speak, every bite that you take while eating, the bristles of the toothbrush rubbing against your teeth every morning, its just annoying. All this because of a cold. I wonder why our doctors haven't managed to find a cure for the common cold, is it because they are all too busy working on cancer? or is it one huge conspiracy between the pharmacies and doctors since the common cold is a major source of their income? But they say every cloud has a silver lining. My silver lining is i get to pretend that i can't hear people, especially the annoying ones.

Now that i got that out of my system, lets move on to the next thing that bothers me - work. I have to wake up early tomorrow to attend a training session on six sigma. Six sigma has been made mandatory for us and we have innumerable training sessions to attend where we eventually end up learning how to throw coins into a waste bin. At the end of it, we need to do a project to get six sigma certified. My idea was to do a project which measures the amount of time that can be saved if we quit learning six sigma, but i have a feeling that it will be frowned upon.

Another new development at the work place is this 2-3 week program, A new way of improving employee fitness. Its really simple, they just shut down the washrooms and water cooler room on our floor under the pretense of renovating it. This forces us to run downstairs to the 4th floor every time we need to get a glass of water or need to use the washroom and then run back upstairs. It must be amusing to the person sitting on the 4th floor between the staircase and the washroom doors to watch people walk in through one door and enter the washroom and then again walk back out of that door and then out through the main door and back to their floor. They can even maintain a log on how often each person goes to kill their boredom, if any.
