tension

there was an episode yesterday while i was marking one set of papers. apparently one of the questions contained an error which was undetected and caused me 2 rounds of re-marking.

it is difficult enough to mark 41 scripts. let alone re-mark them for 2 more times?

my tolerance for such errors (from setting to vetting) has always been very low. i mean how many rounds must the paper be vetted before it is error proof? if everyone is doing their job, once is enough.

but this is not the case here. the paper was printed as and when the setter had finished setting the paper. that itself is a big mistake. it only showed weak execution and poor supervision of the testing system.

the best part is the error was neither rectified by the setter nor the head. it was some kind hearted soul who saved their asses. this was the last straw.

i always use this analogy to illustrate my point: someone throws a piece of litter on the floor and leaves. the next one who sees it may or may not picks it up. suppose it did, it gives the litter bug an incentive to keep littering because someone will eventually picks it up.

i understand that the intent is not to complicate things but to resolve the error there and then. i wonder if this is really going to be helpful in the long run? things like these keep happening, until someone stops these things from happening.

i am extremely disgusted by how things are managed here. perhaps right from the start, i have already held on to the belief that i should not even be here in the first place.

i have never slept so few hours each day for the past 5 years of my career and when i say that this is unique here, people starts to get defensive.

i just want to get out of this place at the soonest possible time.

someone help me please.
