At what point do you just say enough is enough. I am lost for the answer. When you try but everything you try seems to meet with a lack of communication that leads to lost of time, money and effort on all sides. What do you do? I mean what amazing power must I have to be the only one to think the way that I do? For the life of me I can’t figure it out. All I use is a simple set of rules. If you can do something to help others and you then do it. You get two things done at the same time so it is saving time. Some small extra effort on your side can help make someone else’s work easier later on. This is good because that someone else can be the future you.
Just two minutes of thought can bring so much better results then just focusing on your work and the rest of the world be dammed.
This is just basic stuff. It is trying to understand why others don’t think like this is what makes my head hurt.

Deep breaths.
On one hand, you have to face the fact that you are in a different culture now, and things are done differently, and though it may not be YOUR way, it's THEIR way, and you just have to accept it.
On the other hand, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL. :(
On the OTHER other hand (Shiva and I are playing ping-pong right now) you've pretty much summed up the reason to believe in Karma. What goes around comes around (so always wear a condom [where did THAT thought come from?!]).
How many of the world's problems might be solved if everyone had to pass a critical thinking test before they were allowed outside?
Awe grasshopper, these things will happen. What you preceive today as a loss may surprise you tomorrow...or next week. Take a walk, enjoy the air you breath, yes don't forget to breath.

Phoenix,
I've lost your e-address, meant to say Happy 30th!! directly. Your blog doesn't seem to have a comment field. So I post where I can.
Actually man, a lot of people don't think through the consequences of actions.
I have found myself using the phrase "Am I the only one speaking english here?" many times... And NOT with any kind of exchange students...
