The F1 race is giving me headache.
T-Shirt
The recreation committee asked us to indicate our T-shirt size without letting us view the sample. It came out that the shirts are all in European size, which is very large for Asian.
Worse of all, some of them were not given according to the size they asked for, but were given even larger size shirt.
How could any XS-size ladies wear an M-size unisex shirt of the European size?
We will be doing a group photo at the end of the show. The picture may not look nice even if all of us are wearing the expensive official T-shirt. It would only appear messy and inappropriate if most of us are wearing oversize large Polo.
Note: I tried to help the committee buy telling them the availability of sales of merchandise in Singapore. They have purchase the items through the location that I told them. And now, when there are colleagues complaining of the wrong T-shirt size, they are telling them that I was responsible in the purchase and any exchange should goes to me. They have returned my kindness with such irresponsible words.
Luckily, I have done up shirts for the Company before and I think people (except new-comers) should have known my manner of work (passing on samples for trying and proper size indication)
Earplugs
I was not told that there will be sales of poncho and earplugs at the gate for $2.00. I was told to buy the ear plug and was poorly advice by the sales on the decibels. The 3M plugs that I have got is priced at $0.44 each, with the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of only 29dB (max). The noise level on during the race could go up to 130 dB.
130dB – 29 bB = 101 dB
Our normal tolerance for noise is 80bB and the maximum tolerant duration for the 101bB is only 2 hours. Hopefully the distance between our seats and the race car could diffuse the additional dB.
Now, we will need to purchase the poncho in case of wet weather. The package comes together with an ear plugs. However, it would appear silly for us not to aware that we are going to distribute the ear plugs to everyone (again).
Seat Arrangement
The seats allocation has not been organized during distribution. There has been a massive swapping of tickets among us.
Not everyone has realized that the change of seats is necessary and so, to be as ‘pragmatic’ as possible, it has been announced that we can sit with whoever we wants. For everything that happens, there is a story behind.
Tickets Management
We are allowed to exchange the tickets among ourselves (personal settlement). There are some nice people (and also some boot lickers) who are willingly giving away the additional tickets to their managers.
However, taking tickets away from fellow colleagues to present to the superior is not ethical.
Also, if someone has been given more tickets than the others (due to their popularity or ability to collect tickets from others), it is not nice to interfere their personal arrangement (and deprive them of their apparent gains) in the name of a ‘fair’ distribution – the management should let the invisible-hand handle the deal. As we have all been given ‘free’ tickets, we should each have our little ‘rights’ over its usage.
