141. Walk The...

...Plank

Its cleaner now. the floors are clean, the furniture are shining.
The cleaner must be wiping everything double time.
The engine is also fine. Better than those day when the ship runs
with unlimited supply of charcoal.
The maintenance is doing their job better when the charcoal are
running low.hahah...
yes, the charcoal are running low, and we're in the middle of the sea.
If the charcoal runs out and we're still at sea, we can kiss the picture
of our luved one bye bye.
Not to forget the food supply.
Not to forget the food supply.
Everyone work for their life now.
Not for the 32inch flat TV.
Not for the nice dinner to impress the GF at home.
The piano is off the boat!(And so does the piano player)
The captain dont think that we can arrive with the same
load we are having now, so we are tossing away anything
that can lightened the boat mass.Hoping we could arrive safely.
After the piano and chairs, what else is heavy? Man?

Seeing the piano jump the plank, there's a kind
of changed expression in everyone's faces.
people are taking initiative, the mechanic are hiding their tools.
So that no one else can replace him.
So that he is the only one that can maintain the ship.
So that he is needed. Naughty.. but one have to live.

The cleaner panicked now. after the piano,
the furniture was used to replace charcoal.
Now there's nothing to clean.
The next one to jump the plank might be him.
Panic is in the air. hope the ship wont sink!!

MrBig... please dont throw this potato peeler off the boat.
i'm good in peeling potatoes, peeling the skin as thin as 0.2mm.
As for cost reduction, i've even come up with potato peel chips.
The potato skin deep fried to crisp and lightly flavoured is a
heavenly food to have during movies:)
Not the plank please... not the plank...

pocket,
i understand you..
let's us pray together,
for not being the one on the plank..

mine is not a ship,
maybe just a boat,
medium size boat,
without plank somewhat..

just a "everyone jump off the boat when it will sank" type of boat,
but only the captain own the buoy..

~ harapnya pocket tak diapa-apa kan oleh Mr. Big. Amin...

Btw, ada la satu kilang nih. Diorg cuba sedaya upaya tak nak buang pekerja. So, diorg berjimat dari segi penggunaan elektrik dan segala benda yg boleh dijimatkan. So, hari sabtu diwajibkan utk bercuti. Tapi, cuti tahunan dipotong la utk hari Sabtu tuh. rasanya, more efficient dari nak buang pekerja, kan? ~

I understand your point of view, bro...

It has been tough since I joined manufacturing industry as well. Probably I joing at the wrong time (though we are in the food industry!)

I'm the crew whose fighting for other crew survival, whose calculating the reducing OTs, whose listening to the crews' frustration...and I DO UNDERSTAND.

But I will also be the villain whose going to prepare the love letter to send the crew away...

It is tough.

And I'm sharing your feeling:)

'the mechanic are hiding their tools.
So that no one else can replace him.
So that he is the only one
that can maintain the ship.
So that he is needed.
Naughty.. but one have to live.'

pocket, be strong kay. This is a hard time for all of us. The top people will start monitoring the ppl downstairs and decide which one is a better employee.

The best thing you can do right now is to go all out to prove to them that you are the best there is. If other people get demotivated, you are more hardworking than ever. When people go back exactly at 5 pm, volunteer to do extra work unclocked.

Look at it slightly on a more positive side. Take it as a challenge. It's really a hard time for all of us. You however have the option to make it harder on yourself, or be better and survive.
