Efficiency

Iron-wife is ready to have LASIK done on her eyes. We booked an appointment with the Singapore Eye Centre. S$249 for the evaluation. Not bad; but we were there from 1:30pm to 6pm. Good thing it was only one MRT stop from our hotel.

The efficiency and the friendliness.... Should have the Sask Heath workers coming here to study. Nevermind, they will never learn. Man, it was efficient! Everything was like clock-works. One department to another, getting her eyes checked out. She passed. Will be getting her eyes done on Boxing Day. O yeah, we will be spending Xmas here in Singapore. Her god-daughter, Antonia, whom you guys met at our wedding will be here.

The same experience about efficiency with this morning's Internet demo with one of Audrey's client was totally useless. This client insisted on Microsoft's Live meeting with its normal bandwidth. Good luck. I was shocked to find out that her client was demoing the new web-based timesheet for everyone to fill out. No secured access. Right. And then it went downward. All I can say was "bunch of dumb asses" wanting to do things their ways without knowing what implication there were and make them look dumb! Including the IT head. All I can say, it was a waste of my time this morning. Made me think of the old days at Sa$kTel with the timetracking and timesheet thingy. Bloody useless and expensive.

Seemed there were two camps in Singapore: smart ones and REALLY REALLY DUMB ONES. I still have not seen any smart ones yet but I am sure there are some around definitely. And those English.... Incomprehensible. You thought mine was bad! Wait until you try talking to them and want them to do things the right way.
