if i can work with u, i can work with anyone else in this world
its coming to the end of the year again!
time for thanksgiving and showing appreciation to the people who have in any other way played a significant role in my life.
so i would like to dedicate this post to a very special lady also known as the office nagger.
Because of her:-
1. i've learnt the skill of Selective Hearing. Wh is kinda good because now i only hear good things! and i kinda just automatically shut off if she talks. I kinda have an invisible filtering system inbuilt now!
2. i've learnt to be extremely patient. or fake. When she talk, I will be in auto-pilot mode. I will have a practiced to death standard smile plastered on my face and my head will nod according to her nagging rhythms. my answer will be mostly politically correct peppered with 'i see', 'oh', 'yes', 'ok'. see? i'm so nice right
3. i kinda feel that empress dowager is not that evil anymore. i mean 'not that' not 'not at all'. just that empress dowager nags a little bit lesser which at least doesnt make life as bad as at work.
Anyway today i am in extremely good mood this morning. I had a great time at the award winning Tea Tree Spa in Batam over the weekend (erm it had to be great right, since i spent $170+ for the 2 hours of royal treatment). Until she opened her mouth.
Incident 1
Another colleague, Chris had been really nice. This morning she told me that she made brownies for me. So i tink (must be la!) she had out of obligation also invited mdm know it all to have some brownies too and guess what's her answer. "Okay la, i will eat a bit to entertain you la'. Wah lao! If i'm chris, i would hv reached boiling point or perhaps had exploded. thats not enough, after being offered the brownie with ben & jerry ice cream, she commented 'the brownie very hard hor! how to eat!?! so hard!'' Hello mdm, the brownie is for adults, its not made for babies or elderly like you. So hor, its also not ure bday mah! be appreciative when you are given not complain so much! i'm so inspired to learn brownie now- so that i can decorate with the words 'How about a Big PIECE of SHUT THE FUCK UP' and chunk the whole SUPER SOFT GOOEY piece into her mouth.
Incident 2
The Dreaded Conversation
Her: Hey, you go Batam over the weekend ah?
Me: *in a extremely uninterested manner and tone with zero eye contact* ah
Her: Batam fun meh?
Me: *still in an extremely sian tone* ya
Her: What you do there?
Me: (thinking) kns, i sound so sian liao u still cannot get it! &#%$^*@
do spa
Her: The spa cheap meh? how much ah?
Me: Hundred plus dollars (in still a very sian tone)
Her: Wah so ex u still go ah....
Me: Ya, i have nothing but money mah
YEAH, SHE FINALLY SHUT UP!
These are just two of the many incidents that can happen in ONE SINGLE DAY lor!
She can totally spoil my mood at the sight of her, at the opening of her mouth!
At the height of my impatience, i can totally just lace her mug with 100 tubes of elephant glue.
Argh!
But hor, i always tell myself and the rest of my other colleagues who feels the same way that
" IF WE CAN WORK WITH HER, WE CAN WORK WITH ANYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD"
But hor, shouldn't she reflect on herself? If one person dun like u, there is probably something wrong with that person. But if the whole office dun like you, then the problem is probably YOU! dun u get it?
