Caltrain Complaint

I would like to complain about the rude behavior of the female conductor on southbound 216 today (11/12). She is white, overweight with fluffy long hair. The incident happened at Hillsdale Station that today experienced a sudden spike on the number of the passengers.

I arrived at my regular hour, but was forced to seek parking over the other parking lot near TGI Friday's. I finally got a spot # 172, paid the parking ticket and ran to finally reach the last car only to get rejected and door shut at my face. I politely asked her to validate my 10-ride ticket, but she refused and said I should get it validated before I get on board, otherwise, she would write me a citation. The other male conductor was at the last car this morning as well. And as a daily commuter myself, I know that by comparison, he is a much nicer person. He greeted people and provide friendly interaction when checking tickets. That said, he would not have said those things to me, let alone doing such a horrible act to any passenger. So, he and other passengers on the train and across the rails on the northbound platform are my witnesses. He knew that she shut the door at me and I was all peaceful without raising my voice nor creating a scene.

Everyone knows the proper manner to handle this is to let the passenger get onboard, kindly “warn” the passenger that this is to do them a favor and for this time only and validate this ticket. However, I expect more from a “professional” conductor. I expect service, not rude, unprofessional behavior.

I normally buy a monthly pass along with parking permit for $126. Since this is a short month, I opted to get the 10-ride ticket. I know that I will not get any more chance to run into a situation like this. But I certainly hope that this will not happen to anyone at all.

first day of the last quarter

It's the first day of Q209. I was busy pulling the quotes from suppliers. It has been quite a struggle: verifying pricing, trouble-shooting, etc. The good thing is it is getting better and better each quarter. Well, let's make it the last quarter. I have spoken with the boss today and she seemed to want to transfer me out to the other department, since my direct boss, who is on PTO, had already transferred to the other department.
After Paul came by to the cube to circle back to me on the status of the new req, I could tell that it was not going to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another position alloted to Michael once I am gone. However, it seems more likely that there will be more reqs for the asian pacific region. If I were the boss, I would do that. Move the force east. Commodity Managers, commodity specialists, etc.

唉聲嘆氣-鄭秀文

到圖書館無意碰到,鄭秀文的專輯, 不是沒錢買cd, 只是不聽流行歌了. 如果小時候被教導好的話, 就不會耗那麼多時間,金錢在流行音樂上. 這歌極可能是我最後喜歡的中文流行歌了

GSM event

Today we had a GSM event on the lawn between building 20 and 21. It was nice. Well, any free stuff is nice. It's nice to see people that work in this building outside of the building. I had a lot of roast beef. So much that toward the end, I feel sick of it. Reiko and Luan needed to go back early, so I tagged along again. Unfortunately, I didn't get to participate in any of the games provided. The only thing that interests me was the carot reading, but I guess I would not approach her, even if I had a chance. I wouldn't want to be considered sissy. After all, we all know that it is quite a girly thing to do. I had 2 bad experiences with 2 lousy psychics, anyway.

We can get out this afternoon, but I decided to stay in and work on the deliverables, so the presumed new boss of commodity specialists can have some insight on what the girls have been doing and how they have been suffering.

Today's supposed to be the first day of rain in this rainy season. We will see. If it rains, Jose will not work tomorrow, that means, I won't get to help out and do my weekend exercise by doing garden work. I hope it would not rain, really. It is better that I get out of the house and do something physical.

Marco Antonio Solis

No sé por qué Olga Tañon canceló su compromiso a abrir el concierto para M.A. S. Pero, no me importa nada. Es que MAS nos enseñó un buen concierto y nos gustó mucho. Eso es lo que importa.

Otra vez, los mexicanos me molestaron mucho por romper las ordenes a andar en el escenario a tomar las fotos y besar al cantante. La misma situación sucedió en el concierto de Paulina Rubio. Me molestó, pero yo tambien paga dinero para disfrutar el show. A nadie le gusta un concierto interrumpido. He pasado tiempo con demasiados mexicanos y conocido a los mexicanos. La mayoria de los mexicanos no siguen nada de la ley. Traen ese habilitad desde México. Qué lastima.

Labor Day Weekend 8/30

Went down to LA and Tijuana with Jose. It wasn't too bad driving with company. It really makes a difference. I remember that I used to drive alone and it is so boring. Highway 5 used to be endless. Anyway, we went to visit Sergio and Jose. Lupillo and Negro happened to visit them. Damn, what a crowd for a 1-bedroom apt. So, we hung out, visited Laguna Beach and Celestino's house on the Laguna Hills up on Alicia Parkway. A nicely decorated house in a beautiful, gated with security neighborhood...

錯,錯,錯

沒有人不犯錯, 包括我個人. 不管是無心或有意,只要肯認錯, 之後能回改,道歉,或補償等等.. 這個人還算可取.

那個墨西哥女人Georgina Olivera則屬於不可取的那種. 其實, 誰非常在乎1200墨幣, 但是她的態度,推託,撒謊的處理方式就會令人反感. 跟我講清楚有財務困難,收不到學生的繳費, 我就會放過. 反正當時也免費教Rafael.

上禮拜看到她出現在這個部落格撒野,真的讓我覺得這個人非常可惡. 不給錢是一回事, 說有支薪證明但又提不出發票. 空口說白話是另一回事.. 現在反倒自打耳光.

我倒是想看她的發票是什麼樣子. 她如果能夠提出來, 則又是個幌子和笑話. 以當時'打黑工',只收現金的身份, 是不可能收任何支票而兌現的. 整個工作簽證辦不下來,銀行戶口也當然無疾而終.
