Do not show your emotions even if there is personal or family crisis at home as this is professionalism. I enforce the same standards strictly on all staff under me.

Why not? And why do you assume that I am young or that all has been sunshine and rosy my entire life? Not every fresh grad goes through the direct path of Sec>JC>Uni FYI. I worked my ass off through the entirety of my polytechnic education, and part-timed during university. Also worked full time for a year of internship as part of a work-study program with fair amount of OT. It is really damn tiring to utilize every single cell in your brain for 12-16 hours a day on ends especially in the IT field.
I wish you all the best, but I really am not just looking for a 'rosy' path in life. As long as I have options I will do my best to evaluate them and make an informed decision. This has nothing to do with being picky. I've thrown out hundreds of resumes and done countless of interviews and assessments not just to pick the first offer available just because life should be hard and I should purposely throw myself to sharks teeth for the sake of knowing how hard it could be.
