Review


I don't know what the hell is wrong with Blogger as I can not access to my posts. Therefore I'm writing what I was gonna write yesterday and was not able to.
It's been 3 f**king years that I've been living in the cold country, Canada and the question is what I've done and what I'm gonna do? The following categories arr the ones that I review myself according to them:


Education 

Social life
Career

In Education category I'm a complete loser (Like the other ones! you'll see!). In a couple of month after my arrival, I started an ESL Advanced Level II course in U of C and that was not too bad. I learned something and found new friends but lost all of 'em as usual! There was a very sweet Korean girl that I took her to lunch once but she got upset over me and I never saw her again! I even earased her e-mail address from my address book and don't even have a photo of her! There was also my good Chinese friend, Dr. Quping Hu. He moved to Toronto and lives there with his family happily and has a good career, of course.
I attended SAIT after that and was very hopeful to get a good job, immediately (Stop dreaming!) but it never happened. The certificate costs me almost $4000. The programm was a complete disaster! ...Well may be not that bad. There were 8 courses: Quality Planning, Supervision, Reliability, Quality in design, Statistics, SPC, Quality Auditing and Metorology. There were at least one f**king problem with each f**king instructor!
The instructor for Quality planning was not instructor at all! I had a couple of arguments with that asshole (She's a single mother, like most of f**king Canadian bitches!) She doesn't even know the basics of quality but what could I do?! Just arguing! And finally that motherf**ker stupid, bitch, redneck gave me a shity score! I can instruct better than her! I wrote a letter to the f**king institute's CEO (Or whatever that f**k he or is!) but received a bullshit reply, of course! Amy (the instructor) asked me a few times to go to her office to see her and get the answer of my questions but I never did, although I knew she's a single mother but was not hopeful to get anything from her.
Supervision (The real title of the course is something else but don't remember exactly and doesn't really matter here!) was instructed by a fat bombshell! What she did is just reading the f**king book and flirting with a f**king Canadian stud, presumably, from Canmore! and kept saying that she f**king loves f**king Chinese cuisine (I don't know why I didn't say: I give a shit to what you like or dislike you fatass!). So what I did was I almost didn't attend the class after 3 or 4 first ones! and of course passed it! I'll tell you what I did with one of the homework assignments! Great job!
Reliability which was something new for me and I must have shown interest. It was instructed by a f**king stupid Polish guy who works for Nortel. He used to say The aaa... before almost everything he wanted to say. I didn't get much from this course. Besides that there was not a book as a reference to follow and the last two classes changed to Safety which was instructed by a very pretty tall and slim young Canadian lady. There were two Indian guys in the front seats and they used to gaze at her with wide open mouth! What can you learn about safety in just 2 classes?!
Statistics was taught by a fat Canadian guy, Steve, who works for Canada post and actually that was a good guy. If he knew something he would try to explain it in the best way and if he didn't apologized and said he would find out and discuss it in the next class. He also was the instructor for SPC in the next semester. Consequently he was OK.
There was a Chinese little guy called K. K. Wong as the instructor for Quality Auditing and he was among the good instructors compare to the other f**kers!
Inspection and Gauging was the other course which basically comprises theory and workshop, both. The theory was easy for me but workshop not that much as I barely understood what the instructor said but that was alright though.
Quality in Design. My God! That was a mess! There was a potbellied originally from Ottawa who works for GE Energy and that was among the disastrous courses I've ever had. Here we are the students in the class. An Indian guy who was most of the time asleep in the class and snoring! I had to nudge him. An Old Filipino woman who even didn't know what a catapult was! An ugly Romanian woman (Most of them are! regardless of gender) who barely spoke English. A Persian-Indian man who had been recently moved to Calgary from somewhere in the States!!

Upset and Frustrated


I was so angry and upset in last 2 weeks that was not able to write here. First of all I f**king failed that stupid APEGGA exam again. I got 6 out of 10 but they wrote me that I need 65% to pass and 6 means I might got 64% as I am failed! So what I'll do is I'll never f**king write that motherf**kers' exam and I will not spend even one f**king single penny on APEGGA again. They sent me a membership fee invoice for $110, 3 times and what I'll send them if they insist will be this T-shirt.

Secondly Renay e-mailed me and also told me that on the phone that I shouldn't expect anything more than friendship from her! I was so sad after that. I also called her today morning and left a message but she didn't call back. I think she's trying to forget me, and wants me to forgets her. She said her heart is belongs to her ex-boyfriend and she'll never marry, although she said that I could go there and visit her and we could even go for a dinner. Well she's still young, only 24 and doesn't know what loneliness mean!

The third thing is tomorrow (actually in less than an hour) will be the 3rd year that I've been here in Canada. Therefore I filled out the application form for Canadian Citizenship and will pay the fee online tomorrow and send it. It takes at least 12 months to get the whole process down. That's all for f**king today!

Sweet!

I called Renay, the East Indian girl from Edmonton today (I mean yesterday 'cause it's about 12:55 AM now!) It made me so happy. She's so sweet, with a very warm, smooth and pleasing voice and lovely accent. We did kind of break up last year. She got upset over me as I called her my dear! She asked me no to call her that as her ex-boyfriend, who left her, used to do that. I told her that she has to forget him but it made it worse. So I asked her not to call me again or e-mail me. I sent her a card for her birthday, though! But she never replied back. Last week I invited her to Orkut. Although she didn't join but she replied back and asked me to call her and I did yesterday. I told her that I was goin' to see her. And she OK'd. I told her that I'd be there but not just for a cup of coffee (That's what she said last year when I was goin' there and I didn't finally) She said OK, We'd go for movie and dinner and...
God! I'm so happy. She's great and only 24. I'll be there only for her.

Double Jeopardy

I was driving home a couple of hours ago and suddenly noticed that there's a police car behind me but not in my lane. It passed me and I sighed! My heart beat raised for a moment. Jesus! for a minute I told me that they are reading my plate and would catch me. My registration was expired on Oct.31 and I'm also not covered with insurance. Therefore if I'm caught, I'll be right in the world of shit! It's double jeopardy! It's a %99 possibly of instant death! It'll be a criminal record for me, Ray said that once and I will know what really a trouble looks like!
But it comes with that. That I accept that. I like risks! Even when they are this big!

Quality Needs of an Organization

As I failed CQE exam (Damn me!) I have to write it again and I started studying this week. The interesting topic I was just reading is the quality needs in an organization. I explain what I get from the text:
There are different ways to find out what the quality needs of an organization are, obviously. Surveys, department meetings, interviews, focus groups and external benchmarking. Focus group is an assemblage of persons who gather to determine the needs of the department. benchmarking is determining the needs using a specific method and a rival's information or data. (For more information on benchmarking go to the books offered by ASQ)
If the departments come to QC for more needs, you should know what their needs are. QC forward the following information to them, so they are able to formulate their needs:
  • Company vision, mission statement and quality policy.
  • Emergence of new competitors, product lines, markets
  • Status of customer complaints, returns and warranty claims
  • Results of customer surveys and mailings
  • Planned productivity improvements, cycle time reductions
  • Highlights of new quality and manufacturing approaches
  • In-house scrap, rework, defective rates, waste reduction
  • Effects of quality systems (For example ISO, MBNQA, QS 9000,...)

Bush is Re-elected

George W. Bush is re-elected as the US president for the second time. More than 59 million Americans voted for him. John Kerry (I don't know why I so much fucking hate him. May be because he's ugly and yells a lot!) got more than 55 million. I'm very happy because Bush is who invaded Iraq and killed many of 'em. I hope his re-election concludes to killing of more Iraqis and Arabs anywhere in the world.
(Photo: The map of the US shows the final election results. Bush won the red states and Kerry the blue ones. I don't know what does a white one, which is Iowa means here!)
