the stupidest thing

I am going to crap about the stupidiest thing that I had done two weeks ago.
So my colleague and I went off 10minutes earlier. Than while I was at the bus stop, my superior called my handphone as she can't get through the office line. So she realised that we left early and decided to punish us by giving us do extra duty.
I was real angry at that time because I think sometimes, rules are really ridiculous. Rules are dead, but human are flexible. When you have completed everything that is in your hand, to leave 10minutes earlier is it something that is too much? I mean if you are efficient, if you have produce results, if you hae done your job well, and just because you did not leave on the dot(10minutes only leh), you get punished.
So after hanging up the phone, I was really angry and I messaged to my other colleague telling him about how I feel. However, rage was building in me and my mind was in a state of haywire, after I typed finish the message, I thought I sent it to my friend but I actually sent it to my superior!
So that is what happened and currently, the dust has settled. Well I know I have been in the wrong for leaving 10minutes earlier, but are we treated differently? Just because we are of different class, we need to follow rule by rule, book by book. Take for example, you have finish the job that is in your hand, everyone has left the office and there are only you with 10minutes to your actual knock off time, just because they say your knock off time is that time, you have to wait there, doing nothing for 10minutes before you can leave. Because we are of different class, we don't have to right to be flexible in our job. And I was wondering for those who are regulars, do they also TOTALLY follow the rules? Well I dare to say no, because I have seen it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears.
In the end, after some awkwardness and nagging, it is settled without any punishment.
Some people may say that because this is meelee-theory, so you have to follow the rules, follow the instruction because this is basic discipline. But if you follow redundantly, follow instruction that is incorrrect, is that still called discipline? And just because this is meelee-theory, as a "2nd class", we don't even have the rights to voice out our opinion? Just because we are of "2nd class", our basic welfare can be taken for granted?
rules are dead, the mind is flexible.
I would like to conclude that it is not what the rules are nor the stuff that you do is difficult, it is the people whom you work with makes your life difficult, the more so that he/she is your superior.
That's the end of my Stupid Story.
Today, I went for medical appointment and was given a day of medical leave. So I went to apply for my classes after that! But the sad thing is I have to go down again to collect the textbook which they have not finish printing yet =( The reason for me to study so hard is hopefully in the future, I can get a better job, so that it could give me, my parents and my family a better life. It is time to repay my parents for their hardwork in bringing us up through so many hardship.
The good news that I am talking about recently is- I am going to be an Uncle soon! Woo Hoo~
And TGIF tomorrow! Double Woo Hoo~
Cheers~
