the irregular nipple times

OK, that's just plain randomness on my part. What is an irregular nipple anyway? Just to fulfill your curiosity though, there is such a thing as an inverted nipple. That is, if you didn't already know.

Anyway, our local councillors are plain stupid. I attended one of the council's fullboard meeting this morning and it took them four-and-a-half friggin' hours before they decided to postpone whatever else that's left on the plate to another day. I think. God knows. Half an hour before the meeting adjourned, all of the Press decided that they must have lunch and left the councillors to do their bickering unwatched.

The contents of their 'debate' were major time-waster, I felt. This one woman councillor just had to make an argument about medical benefits for the council staff that in my opinion, made her look like an airhead. She wanted to know why longer-serving and higher-ranking staff received more benefits.

"These people should be at a point of their career when they can afford to pay for their medical bills. How is it fair for the others who served less years and rank lower? In fact, they should be the ones whom the council should be helping to ease their medical burdens," she said, in her usual slow, deliberate way.

Now, I'm sure if an employee was riddled with some chronic condition that would require thousands, even millions of Ringgit worth of medical attention and he can't afford it (and his insurance is unable to cover for the entire cost) then the council will definitely step in to display an act of generousity. There are most certainly provisions of the kind in any corporate organisation.

But that is the exception to the case.

In any other circumstances, in every organisation it is normal for someone who has served longer, and especially those of higher rank to receive more benefits compared to the average person at the bottom (or lower parts) of the career rung.

If an organisation starts giving more goodies to the man at the bottom instead of the man at the top, they'd lose damn a lot of money considering that there's usually more at the bottom than on the top. (Nevermind that the man at the top usually gets paid about as much as what all of the men at the bottom earn in a year.)

But the main point is, do that and nobody will want to aspire to do better. Nobody will want to aspire to be on top. They'll be happy to just be the office boy, the typist, the whatever it is because they're getting a hell lot of great things doing stupid stuff that my kid sister could do. Like fold paper and stuff.

Anyway, dinner is calling. I'll continue my rant later.
