there is this saying "masuk kandang kambing mengembek, masuk kandang kerbau menguak". as i am new in my working place, adapting to the working culture is a definite. but i cannot agree with the saying above.

throughout my two weeks working at client's place, i am so used to my colleagues cursing around. though i am so used to curses, i am a bit distracted by the level of curses being flown around. of course, they meant it as joke and as a way to release some dissatisfaction. but i take it differently. i laugh and smile when they do that. when i mean different level, it means higher level. if you know vulgarities well, you should be able to decipher TMCH. cantonese. if you care to understand the meaning of it, i feel disgusted. what has it got to do with that.

i jokingly tell my colleagues i might request for engagement transfer due to bad influence. and they laugh. they blame the cursing to their previous seniors who have influenced them. wah, i am at danger as well. i generally don't use expletive words, not that harsh at least. 

the act of me not really adapting well to that might have caused discomfort but i am not at a position to accept it as it comes. i need to be firm because influence or not, it still sounds harsh. 

blogger thought that he is in working environment where harsh words are only for those uneducated. perhaps, he is wrong after all.
