I can't focus. In fact, just before writing here,
I clicked on a link to a video of some asshole cyclist
doing something I couldn't possibly give a shit about.
But I clicked anyway.
What in the holy hell just happened?
Left home feeling motivated.
Man, I was going to kick some ass!
And here I am,
jumping from article to article
like some kind of virtual grasshopper on crack.
That's the best analogy I can think of.
Man, that's fucking depressing.
Oh and after reading an article by a Singaporean,
I'm really worried.
What's that?
About the cost of living?
About how the job market is doing?
NOPE.
About my command of English.
Jackasses like him
keep within the outlines just often enough
for you to second-guess yourself whenever you see a grammatical error.
And now I'm second-guessing my command of English.
THANKS, ASSHOLE.
Well enough of that

I'm Not A Bigot, I Just Hate Everybody Who Does Not Share My Skin Colour And/Or Beliefs!
Godfuckingdammit.
I've got so many things to worry about right now.
Securing a huge loan to get an overpriced shitty apartment.
Going almost a whole damn year without closing a deal.
Having to set up an appointment with the Heart Clinic,
after experiencing chest pain for the 2nd time for about 2 hours last night.
And what FINALLY got me back here?
A poorly-written article by a dumbass cocksucking bigot
on that substandard 'Singapore News Blog' (or site, or cesspool, whatever the hell they call themselves).
Yep.
It seems I'm a sadist.
So which article did it?
http://therealsingapore.com/content/how-much-should-companies-cater-religious-needs-employees
Basically a Muslim-bashing article.
Oh trust me, the author tries very, very hard to sound oh-so-reasonable.
'We like Muslims! We do! But...'
Pretty much the equivalent of 'I like Blacks! Really! But...'
That's right. Fucking generalise. Because that's smart.
So what was the author griping about?
Well apparently they used to have many Muslim employees.
Not they have fewer Muslims in their ranks "due to various reasons".
Hmm... I wonder what those could be?
I'm sure we're gonna find out!
Oh and before I continue,
this fucking bigot cocksucker tried to put in a disclaimer
near the beginning of the article,
just before the actual bashing begins.
No, no... they are not racist at all.
They like Muslims!
It reeks of arrogance,
as if he (or she, I don't fucking know) and
those within his group were the kings of a land,
looking down upon their subjects.
As if they were teachers in a kindergarten,
looking after children.
'The kids are fine... as long as they behave.'
The disclaimer ends with his saying that the company's sole objective is to make a profit.
This sets the frame.
Profitability is at stake here! The very existence of the company! OMG!
As I am writing this, my boss just walked by my desk
and grilled me on all the opportunities that I am presently working on.
Yeah, I'll need another gig really fast.
Anyway, back to that cocksucking article.
The number of Muslim staff began to grow.
During breaks, they would congregate and "chit-chat".
Now just bear in mind that in Singapore, 'Muslim' typically translates into 'Malay'.
In Singapore (and anywhere else for that matter), it is not unusual for those who
speak a common language (such as Malay or Mandarin) to gravitate towards each other.
The language provides a common bond.
And nowhere in the article does it mention that
these workers would only speak to and mix with their own race.
Although be rest assured,
it is strongly implied.
Nope. Apparently, hanging out with your colleagues
during breaks is a HUGE red flag.
Also, it seems that every single non-Muslim
worker would NOT hang around their colleagues
or friends during breaks.
What, did they all spread out into separate corners alone,
while sipping juice from a box and taking the occasional drag on a cigarette?
Give me a fucking break (see what I did there?).
Then the author goes into how these workers began
asking for a prayer room.
HOLY SHIT!
THE END OF THE COMPANY STARTS HERE.
Apparently requesting something is also a HUGE red-flag.
Not demanding, mind you.
Just asking.
Because workers asking for special rights and privileges are UNHEARD of.
How do you think unions came about, dumbass?
It's a fine balancing act.
Companies need the workers, and vice versa.
And each side has the RIGHT to negotiate.
Pay, privileges, etc.
So if I have to pray 5 times a day,
and you want me to work for you,
then it is within my rights to ask for a designated prayer room.
This idiot makes it look like some kind of abuse.
As if they were treating the company like a charity,
and draining its coffers for their own, selfish purposes.
Never does he explain
why there were so many Muslim workers in the company to begin with,
what were the factors involved.
If you had a factory in a Buddhist-majority area,
it would be one hell of a surprise if most of the workers were Muslim or Christians, for example.
Demographics is just one example.
There could be other factors too,
like if a particular ethnic group were consistently discriminated against,
and did not have access to higher-paying jobs.
This would result in the majority of low-paying workers comprising of this ethnic group.
Common sense.
But no, not for this bigot.
Oh no, the Muslims are abusing the company's goodwill! OMG!
The author also states that they acceded to this request
DESPITE their limited resources!
WOW!
Purely out of the kindness of their hearts!
Right.
Not because if they fired some or all of them en masse,
the company would cease to be able to function.
Or the cost of replacing them would be too high.
Nope.
Purely because they were being nice.
Accommodating your workers is a strict no-no.
How DARE you make REQUESTS!
Who the hell do you think you are?
I sign your paychecks, so you should bow down and kiss my feet!
Except of course,
without the workers, you wouldn't have a goddamn paycheck to sign in the first place.
Man, I'd hate to be a breastfeeding mom,
or a smoker.
Speaking of which,
it seems the non-muslims do not take short breaks,
not even smoking breaks.
In his article, another implication is that the others are model workers,
dedicating their full attention to furthering the companies' goals.
Like robots.
Also, apparently the room is a big expense!
It could've been used to "further the company",
whatever the hell that means.
Hey man, I hate to break it to you,
but if the fate of your company hangs on the usage of one room,
then you've got bigger problems.
What, is it some kind of magic room? Is that it?
The company could've reaped gigantic profits from it?
Got itself listed?
Become a global player?
This person's stupidity actually hurts my feelings,
you know what I mean?
"They claimed they needed to pray several times daily". Claimed? Really?
A basic Google search would've
told you that Muslims pray 5 times a day, and let's say during a basic 8-hour day,
they would only need to use that prayer room once during working hours (usually lunch).
This fucktard seemed to imply that the Muslims were lying about it,
and deliberately heading over to the magical room and avoiding work.
And how does he know this anyway?
It's a little creepy how he's always lurking around the prayer room,
just... looking.
Don't you have actual work to do?
Anyway I could go on, but it's lunch time and I'm hungry.
Well enough of that
