Getting into Hot Water

Today I read the status of a friend on Facebook. She was making a remark about a few topics one of which is fraud in the self-publishing industry. The owner of the publisher was said to have deceived several customers who had completed the payment but received no books they ordered.

This immediately arouses my attention as I'm currently running a self-publishing house of my own. What's more agonizing is that those deceived are but bloggers to which I also belong. I'm speaking on behalf of both parties.

She should have been more careful in managing her issues in the publishing business. Regardless of the victims, what she commits is likely to ruin our fellow publishers as well as tantalize blogosphere.

This news should be the words of everyone very soon. An idiomatic expression goes with her case. She's getting into hot water which means she's placing herself in great danger. She's both endangering her business and personal integrity. Above all, she is likely going to pose a threat to similar businesses on any scale.

Get into Hot Water artinya terlibat masalah, bermasalah, membahayakan diri sendiri

I'm Not A Happy Camper

The pandemic that has been around for more than a semester here in the country has created a heck bunch of consequences most of which are unbearable. Not only are people driven mad in favor of their own ego, their actions reflect what they believe as human. It was pathetic for sure. People in most cities and towns, even in rural areas, have tended to neglect the health protocols recommended by the government. They have obviously rejected the command of wearing face mask or face shield. Physical distancing is no longer familiar as they do enjoy gathering in many public places. Me and my family have consistently denied any request or invitation to join any occasions that mobilize people. This has led to a verdict that we are asocial people. Some even suggest we move to the woods to be in company with animals. At some point, we are not a happy camper. We feel a little bit depressed to have been treated that way. We have described the reason of not attending any event yet they do not seem
