The thing about expecting

Wait, my wife is not expecting.. that's not the post topic.. haha

Sometimes i wonder, do i expect too much? Perhaps in the line of work, i expect more from people.. being the lowest ranking civilian in the division, everyone else is earning more than me.. the "older" folks for example, have been in the force for at least 5 years, most are already promoted..

is it not correct then, to expect that these very same group of "oldies", should be au fait with the ongoings in the unit and should have mastered, or at least learned, about simple organisational work and planning skills..

poor planning, bad execution, and yet, the smile can be there, the mood seems alright, i do wonder if any sense of guilt or incompetency creeps up her mind when darkness falls and she is alone.. does she strive to overcome her weakness, or she just forgets the whole thing and continues to mismanage another event? Sure, the event, the exercise is new, but the basic of planning and execution remains, so what's the problem?

Maybe, i am just expecting too much, maybe she has already done all she could and has already given her heart and soul in expanding her capabilities and given her all to cover the short ends..

Or maybe i'm just having her come up with too many excuses.. don't get me wrong, i have no personal vendetta against her.. it also wonders me how someone can keep that smiling face when so many mistakes are made and people are quite naturally unhappy towards her.. for all her smiles, she has became my "best friend"..




A "friend" in need is a "friend" indeed
