I am right now in the library,
extremely frustated with my Human Resources Management (HRM) Notes.

This is because HRM is complete bollox !

Chapter 6 is a MTF lesson on... Emotions. Heh..

Apparently, Emotions affect behaviour and attitude. (like ..SO???)

These are the exact phrases:

"Emotions are feelings that represent a positive or negative assessment of our emotional experiences related to the attitude object.

While Behavioural Intentions predict behaviour, emotion can also directly affect behaviour. "

"You feel emotions and you think of attitudes"

Question: What are emotions, behaviour and attitude?


In this report, we shall analyse this 'Emotions' problem from an Engineer's point of view.

To facilitate thorough understanding, Adrian the Great and I came up with an example.

*more like he did...as I was screaming out profanities*..
( yes, in the library, sorry.. wat to do)


--SCENARIO:

Let's say, you were meeting a boy for the very first time
and during this encounter,
he started scratching his crotch.

What would be your emotion towards him?

emotion = feelings = Disgusted. ..* NO, not turned on*

So this 'disgusted' feeling has become your emotional experience.

so, disgusted = emotional experience.

What would be the attitude then?

Attitude = You'd dislike him and stay away..

What about Behaviour?

Behaviour = You'd dislike him and walk away..

Hence, we end up with,

attitude = behaviour.

Then we got STUCK..

Attitude and Behaviour.. got difference anot?

Like sama sama leh

Apparently they are different,
Benson the Great explained that attitude is targetted to a certain object, while behaviour is not.

I then turned to Adrian the Great. He seemed to be full of thoughts.
He was almost glowing.

Then he did the " AHHHAAA!!!!" thing.

Ad the Great: "See ahhh.... behaviour is like speed, attitude is like velocity!"

(brief moment of silence)

Me: *stunned for awhile* ....Ad!!! Wad a bloody genius..
Attitude needs to be directed somewhere, like velocity, its a vector.
Behaviour doesn't, just like speed, its scalar.

( Another moment of silence)

So, we shall assign attitude with the symbol a, behaviour with the symbol b.

attitude = a (vector, depends on direction : + or -)

behaviour = b (scalar, directionless, neither + or -)

So, a x a = a(square),
but,
(+ve) x (+ve) = (+ve)
and (-ve) x (-ve) = (+ve)

Therefore attitude squared will give (+ve) value at all times.

This makes it unidirectional.. SOO....... heh.

Ad, explain lehh....



Ad the Great : I think you should rest. You goin bonkers..


Me: Yah I go blog about this. Quite memorable. Be back in a sec.


Hur Hurrr..



**************


Miscellanous frustrations unleashed:

What the hell are they gonna get out of differentiating between mundane stuffs like attitude and behaviour? HUH?

Engineers absorb knowledge on thermodynamics, mechanics, materials, so that we can build plants, make handphones, refine crude oil, build damns, build HDB and save the world!

Tell me just what the HECK are the eloquent beings gonna do with the fact they have gloriously discovered the difference between behaviour and attitude?
HUH?

How is this of any use?HUH??

They're gonna build an Attitude Washing Machine? HUH?

They can have more words in the dictionary? HUH?

Don't tell me it's so that they can write about it on textbooks and confuse more engineers taking HR2002 in the future. Basket!
Good luck la y'all..


Besides, HRM is all about the practical bits...
Just because you can write structured essay with bombastic words and argue your points accross impressively, it doesn't mean that you could make a good boss/manager in the future.

Q1: Can you actually act it out and perform?

Q2: Be the charismatic, inspiring and competent leader?

Q3: Or shall the facts remain in black & white?

Then you go suck your toes.

Or you suck mine, quite smelly .





******* BAH******SKET**********!!

Upon compiling the above complaint, I gave Jac her daily dosage of SillyCelly's wailing.

Me: Babe.. I am gonna screw up HR paper.

Jac: Why you worry so much.. write essay only wat.. all bullshit one..

Me: But NUS profs dont seem to like my bullshits..

Jac: You think what.. write ur blog ah..

Me: Eh.. hehe.. You know I always go out of point.

Jac: Your forte I believe.

Me: Uh..Babe, can I still get an A for HR if I do go out of point?

Jac: No

Me: What if it's funny?

Jac: No

Me: Hilarious?? Poop in pants kind?!

Jac: No

Me: ..........><
