People seem to have this misconception that just because its a national website, means that there must be at least like i dun know, 30 people working behind it? and by saying this, i just mean 30 people working behind the scenes for the website of NDP. say 10 people answering emails, 5 people working on the website, another 10 working on multimedia stuffs and so on and so for...
But sadly, the reality is so far away from that...
For all you bloody fools who have the abovementioned misconception about the website, i'm really sorry to inform you that sadly, we only have like what 5 people in the entire website team.(Excluding my 2 bosses of course) I kid you not. Dun believe me, check it out on the website itself. And here are the official figures. I have 2 guys monitoring emails.
I'm the only fool there designing and managing the website.
2 other guys churning out countless articles that either get rejected or cut from the web.
So now u know the truth. and because you know the truth, stop sending ridiculous emails DEMANDING for explainations. If i had so much time to explain the whole GODDAMN situation to you, you would not even bother to send me the email in the first place. It just really irks me that such people do exist. Its like as though they had nothing better to do.
There, i've spoken my piece of mind that i so want to send a reply but can't do so because sadly i can't. Its amazing what these people ask for...
"Hi, its my birthday on National Day!! Can i have some complementary tickets and funpacks? Not much, about 10 each will do. Thanks! "
or
"Hi, every year i bring my family to the NDP Parade. But this year i'm not successful in balloting. Can i request that u give me some tickets? Not much, i have 9 granddaughters, 8 nieces, 7 nephews, 6 sons,5 daughters, 4 grandsons, 3 aunties, 2 balls and a dick. Thank you so much!!!"
(Of course its fake, u think i would really put the mails up here?? My ass would get sued!!)
What idiots.
Basically, the whole issue is that please do spare a thought for the people working to try to satisfy your every request. I'm sure you do not want people asking u these kind of cock questions right? You would flip, as i have so many times already...
On a happier note, its coming soon.
Officially, its about 18 more days before the parade is over. A wee bit more and a year's work would be complete. How time really flies. Seems like just yesterday that my bosses and i had to rush back and forth from Temasek Poly just to get the designers for the web.
- The late nights at Adventus.
- The countless nights we spent in camp trying to figure out the layout of the site.
- The mornings spent spent having cheese prata behind NUS after the countless nights.
- The boozing
- The many conversations we had with everybody over MSN.(I swear, its more than enough to write a book thicker than Harry Potter)
And somehow, despite all the shitz that come along with it, i'm so gonna miss it.b
