Work

I’m feeling very tired from work lately. What is so annoying is that, I’m not busy because of my work scope, but rather dealing with some stubborn colleagues who don’t seem to like accepting alternatives I have for them. If they don’t get what they want, they have the habit to go up to the TOP so that I’ll be scared. Well, 1st of all, I don’t see the reason why you need to go to the top. 2ndly, what you want from us, is a waste of time because what I have suggested to you is a more effective and faster way to learn for your staff.

Oh well, for the last 2 weeks or so, I’m working with some spoilt brats that whatever they can’t get what they want, they go to boss. Alamak… So what if you all are more senior at work that you can throw your weight around? Geez, really waste my time on them as the whole hoo ha can take me hours, and different episodes of the same kind can just happen for days!!

OMG!! Is it worth my time dealing with them rather than doing my real proper work? Really, I felt very mentally tired dealing with these bunchs of spoilt brats.

Work has been tiring also, not just because of them, but rather, I’m very short of manpower. Already, the training is running on tight schedule, due to some changes in airline’s requirements. The top is pressing for more training schedule for the existing ground staff, but ironically, they are pulling few pple out from my department to help support other areas.

HEELOO!!! YOU ARE GRAPPING THE WRONG PERSON! And if my people are to support you, then who is supporting us? I felt so pissed off!!

AH!!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR MY HOLIDAY!!!!!! I WANNA GET OUT OF HERE!!!!

Words

Alas…words are funny creatures sometimes. A word that is so innocent and simple and yet it can trigger series of misunderstanding.

The 1st incident was when my brother is coming to Singapore. He didn’t inform me that he is coming today. But he insisted that he told me.

On msn:

Him: U know I’m coming today right?
Me: Ah? You told me you coming meh?
Him: Yes, I did. Remember I ask you about where to eat in Spore?
Me: Yeah, but that does not mean you are coming! That question could mean you are asking for a friend, or just to keep a note
Him: Neh, I wouldn’t waste time on asking that question, unless I’m coming to Spore
Me: Oh yeah, as if I can read your mind.

Great. Expect me to read and think like him. Oh gosh…how can like that? He say he wouldn’t waste time, but my personal opinion is that, he is wasting even more time by beating round the bush when eventually no message is spread across!

^^^^^^ 

The 2nd incident involved me and my baby. We are preparing for our trip to one country. I wanted him to buy earplugs as I know he is a light sleeper and would wake up at any slightest noise. The hotel we are staying would be near night clubs so I think there would be very noisy.

Me: come, we go buy earplugs, the next on the shopping list.
Him: but very funny leh
Me: no ah, u are such a light sleeper, better buy if not u can’t zzz
Him: omg, we are buying so much for this trip, even earplugs! When I go overseas, the lowest hotel grade I’ve stayed is 4 star leh! Now staying in budget hotel…
Me: ok…you are rich wat, dat y u stayed in 4 star!
Him: No…that is not wat I mean!
Me: if not then what?
Him: I just say I found strange
Me: ….

Eventually he did apologised to me and said that was just a comment. But somehow I felt disappointed. To me, it is not just a comment, but rather looking down on budget hotels where he used to stay in 4 star hotels. It is like a downgrade. Look like my efforts are all in vain, where I keep looking at maps and try to look for hotels that are not too expensive, and yet near to places we want to visits. Felt so sien at one point.

He told me he has never stayed in budget hotels before, so he don’t know what to expect. Well, I tot he would know. I thought the word Budget would explain it all. Alamak…need to work out the communication. Alas…Words, that can cause trouble here and there.

I’m still feeling a bit sore now but why I’m still like that despite him apologise profusely already?
