both from the same mod, which honestly makes sense because revealing someone else's personal information on the internet is far less damaging than downloading a 1997 direct-to-video movie via bittorrent

After working for the chinese for 10 months in container shipping, ive become To loathe them extremely. I cant get anything done if it depends on any input from Shanghai office. Its always the same issues and I try to tell them how things are and what we need for customers but if i say theyre wrong they lose face and do nothing and ignore me.

They tell us what to do better and its really laughable because every improvement they suggest actually stop because then they wont do their jobs.

God damnit I hate the chinese.

Also I realized this is very vague bitching but i dont want to bore you with the specifics of my Job

yesterday while i was waiting for carls jr takeaway i watched some people at the soda fountain fill the cups and then try to put in ice, sloshing it all over themselves. after seeing it happen twice in a row, the people behind them in line chose to just not use ice.

then an old white guy walked over and did it correctly, west-splaining with his actions rather than his words

Yeah, for example, they tell us that we need To have all shipments confirmed status, to get this, the routing has to be approved. Some are ready in system, but most cases I have to request Shanghai to create them. So I ask to create routing from Kotka To Rotterdam World gateway terminal, they tell me the service from Kotka does not go To RWG. So I tell them that yes, it does call that terminal. Then they either shut up and do nothing, or start going around how we cant use that feeder service. So now I have to go through all this bullshit to tell them that other feeders are full, this is our tender client, etc. Then they either shut up and do nothing, or ask confirmation from someone higher up to whom you have to send daily reminders to do something. And this is daily. And just one example, whole lot other issues we have go like this with them. And this all affects our KPI, which target was set by them. And then they simultaneously obstruct us from attaining the target.

Okay, ill write something once I get home. Usually container shipping is invisible to people and its not really that interesting to most. I work for the local representative of the container liner so I am in daily contact with our overlords.

Yeah, sometimes it happens, had a container of sawn timber going to Manila South Port, Via Singapore, except our chinese overlords had not notified us that we stopped the feeder service from Singapore. Thankfully Singapore colleagues helped us route them via Shanghai to the destination. Now I just have to deal with Shanghai bitching at us about it.

On Saturday there was a pretty big party in Zurich - roughly 1m people - so naturally there were police and security people everywhere.

While hanging around in a shop I saw a chinese woman putting fruits and chocolates directly from the shop display into her backpack. An employee approached her and told her in pretty good english that this wasn't allowed, that she had to put the stuff into a basket until it was paid for. The woman of course nodded, then turned around and kept grabbing random stuff. She then leisurely walked out of the shop while still in full view of the employee who saw her stealing poo poo, and between two security people that were covering the entrance against drunks.

Unsurprisingly they snagged her and called the police while she just stood there confused that her plan to get free poo poo didn't work out.
