I was told to update a series of questions for 2 chapers and I realize that the English is crap, really horrible. I don’t think was really told to update the questions but to correct and change them. It’s not just the English but also the quality. Whoever was working on them didn’t take the time to do a quality job. Words are left out and some of the questions looked as if the guy was in the middle to translating.

e.g.
“The following is a description of the economic condition of China under the rule of G in 1948.”

What the heck is “G”? Who is “G”? The guy who did it just totally did not do his job. He was probably trying to look up the translation and somehow totally forgot about it. The “G” is actually Guomindong, or the Nationalists. And this is from a CD that was supposed to help student prepare for exams. Excellent.

A very few people here have really bad relationship and communication skills, more accurately, bad verbal skills and bad EQ. I realize that asking questions require skills too. I often don’t know what he is asking me. He asked in the way as if I am suppose and should know exactly what he was talking about without identifying the passage. Usually it goes like this: “Do you think there is anything wrong with this?” And I would ponder, “which part?” and I would try to understand what he is talking about. Half the time, it takes me a while to know what the problem is and his tone. He is just plain rude at times. I think he’s spoiled at home, his family gets him what he wants and thus he has bad people skills. But I think he is great at what he does. He’s detail orientated and serious, trying to do the best job possible and that’s something priceless. Just wish his other qualities could improve.

Come to think of it, I really wasted a few good years at CABC. I was ahead of their time. Kids there were selfish, self-centered and immature. I guess you can say that they were teenagers, spoiled, and just a bunch of stupid teenagers, but I think the youth leaders and older people of the English congregation and the parents also had responsibility. In most cases, the kids reflect their parents. Parents are the biggest influence to their children whether they like it or not, intentional or not.

The biggest thing is that I learned what is bad and shitty but yet at the same time, I am not sure if I was ever healed. Within me, I think there are still some unhealed wounds. Unhealed.

Man, my desk is getting crowded and clogged up. and my desk is already a whole better than most people's. i think they are just use to it.
