The Annoying Change Receiver

No Comments

I went to Wendy’s today during my lunch break to buy some food. Everything I bought totaled to $3.75, and I paid with $4. I got a little confused when I didn’t see the 25 cents in change that I expected to receive. The lady told me that I was all set. Confused, I mentioned that there was supposed to be 25 cents of change on the order. She repeated that I was all set, without even mentioning that I didn’t see the change in the small container attached on the right of the cash register. While I can see that there’s a convenience and speed benefit of spitting change into a container, I’d rather it handed to me. When only one quarter drops out of the machine and I’m in a busy restaurant (this Wendy’s is in the central downtown area) I may not recognize that my change dropped out. If anything, the lady should’ve pointed out *nicely* that the change came out in the container. I shouldn’t be expected to know such a thing unless it’s a standard part of most cash registers (which it isn’t) or there’s a sign that says the change will come out there (which there isn’t). Also, given that this location is downtown where people that tour Boston go, someone in customer service should be a bit nicer than that, whether they are teenagers at temp work or otherwise.

Does More Always Mean Merrier?

There are two types of chemistry. We have a way of working with people on a one-on-one basis, which is individual chemistry. Also, we have a different way of working with two or more people at once, which is group chemistry. A group’s behavior is more complex than the behavior of two people.

Confusing introduction, yes. But here’s an example. Let’s say that I know a Person A. Together, he and I have decent conversations and we work well together. Let’s say I also know a Person B that I like to talk to and I get along well with. Individually, People A and B are great to have around. But what if People A and B meet each other? It could make our friendships better – “the more, the merrier,” they say. But it can also make our friendships worse. What if People A and B, when together, behave in a way that I don’t like? Have inside jokes that I don’t understand? What if they, inadvertently or otherwise, make me feel like a third wheel? As much as it is a benefit for them that they have met each other, it comes at my expense. People A and B become inseparable; joined at the hip. Since I can only deal with them individually and not both together, I end up spending less time with both of them merely because they met each other and are such good friends.

Perhaps it is selfish, but I do not think it is always beneficial to mix your friends together. There was an episode of Seinfeld in which Elaine calls Susan, George’s fiancée. George immediately becomes insulted by this, as his “worlds will collide” and the two different Georges, “independent” and “relationship”, will collide and “kill independent George”. I found this episode especially funny because George’s reasoning made sense to me and Elaine thought he was crazy for suggesting such a thing. I do not think it is a common thought that people like to separate their “worlds” or “bubbles,” but I firmly believe in it. I like to keep some friends isolated from others because I have such a great one-on-one chemistry with them. Once friends start to mix, bad things can possibly happen and then it may be hard to leave one group if something bad happens. Connections are sometimes bad; WWII started mainly because there were so many alliances. All these groups who had ties to one another and had to follow suit with their treaties led to an all-out war. Similarly, it may not be best to have people so deeply connected, either. What if something goes wrong?

The Economic Analysis of Being Nice

No Comments

Just as there is no reason for a firm to produce as much as it possibly can, there is no reason for me to be as nice as I possibly can. Firms that overproduce lose money, and people that are overly nice get stepped on and lose authority. Economics calls for an optimal output of goods, and I will follow suit by calling for an optimal output of kindness. Sometimes, one will over-stretch and it will be asked whether this person has a motive or something of that sort. Sometimes, people are kind “just because”, but it is not interpreted as such. Economics has also taught me that positive externalities, benefits to people other than the producer, are subsidized because not enough of the good that is causing this positive externality is being produced. In other words, this subsidy is an incentive to produce more or a bonus. One will realize that if there are not enough nice people in the world, it is because there is no subsidy, no benefit for being nice. There is not always an incentive for a person to be nicer, so why should they be? If it feels like a wasted effort, people will probably think that it is a wasted effort. If people do not gain a benefit from being nice that would encourage them to continue doing it, they will not be as nice. Similarly, if a company does not get an incentive for producing something that has good effects on society, they will not produce as much.

On Planning

No Comments

I’ve been told that I think too hard and that I plan too much. Perhaps the first one is true, but I don’t believe the second at all. Some people find it crazy that I, on the fly, plan when I’m going to eat around the other commitments I have for the day. What’s wrong with that? If I wake up at 9, have class from 11-12, and have class from 1-2, then I have a few choices. I can eat breakfast sometime within the hour of 10 and eat lunch at around 2. I can eat something small before class and eat lunch at 12, then possibly eat something small afterward to hold out until dinner. If plans change – for example, if dinner changes from 6 to 5 – then I can’t eat lunch at 2. Why? Because if I eat lunch at 2, I won’t be hungry by 5. Is that really overplanning or is that just my general logic? My meals have to be spaced out by at least four hours, and sometimes five. I don’t care who you are; I’m not going to go to the dining hall twice within three hours, because that’s just my rule. Respect it.

There’s nothing wrong with planning. I will sit down on Sunday night and start to plan my week. I like to get a lot of homework done from 2-5 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I normally don’t eat breakfast in the dining hall on Mondays because I don’t get out until 3 and I just eat lunch at 12 instead. I try to conserve meals over the weekend so I have enough for the week (11-12). Is that really overplanning? Or is it that I just know myself and my tendencies? Just because other people completely wing things doesn’t mean that I’d be good at winging them, and it also doesn’t necessarily mean that I should wing them, too. I like working on a schedule so I know what I’m doing when I’m doing it. If I’m not organized, I don’t work very well. Again, that’s me. Respect it.

You’re Not Always Too Busy When You Say You Are

No Comments

I’ve heard quite a bit of times in the past that somebody was too busy to do something out hang out with someone or something like that. Now, there really are times when you are just too busy to do anything other than the matter at hand (which might suggest that you have too much on your plate, but that’s a different story). If that’s clearly the case, that’s acceptable. But when I get the “I’m too busy” thing and the person still has a full-fledged social life, there’s an issue. Yes, perhaps there is this underlying “hint”, but why should (s)he hide behind the fact that (s)he has a lot of work to do? Or better yet, perhaps it is lying by omission. What the person says is “I’m too busy to hang out”, but what the person really means is “I’m too busy to hang out and you’re not important enough to me for me to adjust my schedule for you”. Of course, if someone said that as bluntly, it would be a deep cut. But whether (s)he wants to say it bluntly or not, that’s what (s)he really means.

It is either that case or that the person in question really is bad at organizing their schedule and needs some work. I believe that in a given day, barring some exceptions, of course, you can virtually do a little bit of anything you want to do. If you map out what you are going to do and when you plan on doing it, then actually stick to that schedule (since that’s the hard part), you’ll get a surprising amount of work done. I know not everyone is the planning type, but it is worth giving a shot.

I’m pretty sure the smarter of us all have already figured this out. This is really just me officially commenting on it, as obvious or not as it might be.young male actors
