Curse those who curse the bankers

Hey, even those people working in banks have rights to have their christmas party and holiday vacation. So you people who keep yapping about blah blah blah, shut the hell up.

My dad works in a bank. And guess what, just because one of their ATMs only had 400K, he had to make calls and ask some of his co-workers if they could drag their asses in the bank (some of them from Cavite and Laguna) just so they could fix things up. While people were busy preparing for the famous day when someone special was born, there were my dad and his colleagues beating the heavy traffic to put money in their machines and please the powers-that-be. Instead of us family and other families enjoying the day, there were one of the family members in each family missing all the fun. Sure, there were days when bankers work the day before christmas, but dammit, Dec 24 2007 wasn't included in those days!

And I just can't let this pass. While I can understand the frustration some people feel because their bonuses hadn't miraculously appeared in their accounts, these same people are a bunch of insensitive no-goods for saying that instead of relaxing, bankers should work their asses off during the holidays. Anong akala niyo, kayo lang may karapatang magsaya? Kayo lang may karapatang kumain? Akala niyo ba ganun lang kadaling gawin lahat ng gusto niyo? Shit! I've seen how stressful a banker's life can be, my dad being one ever since I was a baby. Sabi niya, working in a bank might be considered as a glamorous thing, but not everyone can handle the stress it brings. Sana, before you curse the bankers for taking a well-deserved vacation, think that they are people too. I know your family comes first and all those other dramatics, pero know that there are also other people who feel the same way you do ---- us people who had to spend the so-called christmas without one of our loved-ones.
