One of my team members is sick and I mean coughing out a lung, runny nose, looks like shit sick… On Monday I being boss told her to take the afternoon off to rest up but she insisted that she was fine… I was already thinking WTF inside but thought if she’s this sick she’d call in tomorrow (being yesterday now)… But she didn’t. She still came to work hacking. I find it quite stressful especially now that it’s high flu season, ppl are sensitive to swine flu, ppl are getting sick left right and center… and I haven’t gotten my flu shot yet. I really don’t wanna get sick. Last time I was sick it was because of her AGAIN!!! She had a respirtory infection and didn’t tell us until afterwards. Anyways, she got worse and my coworker said she was feeling like she’s about catch something (today she was even sicker than me) and asked if I mind her workin from home for the remainder of the afternoon. This made AC quite annoyed since she felt like we were being racist to her being sick. Honestly take a hint! When ure coworkers and ure boss tells u to go home and rest / work from home I don’t know why you don’t!!! Staying at work wiping her nose inbetween typing doesnt mean that ure productive! Then she had to send me an email asking if I thought it was best she go home. OMG. Srs’ly??? So I basically had to tell her to go home until she was feeling better. And now guess what I’m sick! My other 2 team members are sick too cuz of AC!!! This really pisses me off. If you are sick stay home!! Don’t come to work and spread it around!!! That is just plain rude!!!
Sad part was that she went to the doc today and told me that her doc took a swab of her throat but won’t the results until 3 days after and thinks she’s well to come back to work tomorrow. @_@. Told her to stay home for the remainder of the week.
I dunno why some ppl can’t take a hint and needs to be told!!!
Sometimes I wonder what will happen. What you and I will be like. What you will be like. What I will be like. If we will be friends again. If we will talk again. It seems like such a shame that things are the way they are. Someone needs to make the first move but neither wants to… Perhaps you are ok with the way things are but to me they arent… Something is still missing… I miss my best friend. How dumb of me… ;(
The past few weeks at work has been nothing more than a series of musical chairs and games of fake democracy. The most recent one posted in the accounting group clearly demonstrated this… the person they choose was well hated by some rather vocal people at the office, and for valid reasons i may add (two-faced, back stabbing, user, etc… ) I shouldn’t be complaining too much that I didn’t get the job since i applied for other reasons (the VP after signing off my work experienced specifically told me to try out if the opportunity came about)… then one of the directors that i’m chummy with just came back from a cruise, chatted with me was like “aiya, shouldn’t have applied, what you’re doing is so much better!!”…. But to tell me based on “ambition” they thought JZ was a stronger candidate doesn’t fly, and to tell JJ that she doesnt have enough “accounting” experience is a load of crap also! Actually anyone other than JZ getting the job i wouldn’t be so railed up…. The steps of formality and a charade of fake democracy is rather silly…
My new boss although a very nice person doesn’t seem to be very supportive either. Certain things clearly should not fall onto my teams’ / my shoulders, but he hasn’t been there to stand up for us or to fight our battles. Taking on more work doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right approach. we need to work smart, not just work hard.
alright, enough ranting… now to something funny… the other day i was having dinner with JY, AK, etc… i had one of my blonde moments again… i guess i started drinking red wine on an empty stomache and got trashed pretty quickly… i don’t remember what we were quite talking about… i think it was planning for a wine / cheese party… and i was talking about wine and grapes… and then i said something like ‘it tastes like purple’ … lol … for people who are mix their left’s from their right’s they’re called dyxlesic; they started teasing me that maybe mixing color and fruits i should be called “fru-clor-rexic”… aiiii
btw, now i totally see why people are addicted to their iphones… i’m such an iphone geek now
Just came home from watching the invention of lying… I almost fell asleep. I found it boring. Although there were some interesting parts it was just too slow. But it does make me wonder what if we all told the absolute truth? If we were to even go one day telling everything exactly as it is, no lies, no sugar coating, no ommission. How fast would we butt heads? How quickly would want to strangle one another? And would it be alright?
yesterday i went to chop my hair off… all 12 inches or more of it… sporting a new bob cut and loving it! At first i thought it would be tough to part ways with my long hair that i can curl and tie up etc… but it feels fresh and liberating!
Miss the old hair? maybe … but whatever i’ll send it a postcard!
Again this came from a conversation I had over the weekend when my friend was visiting…
While we were catching up on what’s been happening lately and how we came to know certain ppl during one of the many summers ago when GW came to visit with his friends. He was rather surprised by the fact how I knew certain incidences or events which also showed how close or frequently KT and I talked. Anyways so he asked me … so KT is still single eh? And you are too… Maybe you guys should date. Look good together… Or something to that degree. He had no idea what had happened a few months back and I didn’t want to correct him on the turn of events. But I was rather weirded out by what he said and sadly was sort of upset even though I just brushed off his let’s play Cupid suggestion…
Unfortunately what he brought up also resurfaced many feelings which I was compartmentalizing recently… ahk looks like I’ll need to work on that again…
So apparently i’m a bit of flirt even when i’m least aware of it.
Friend of mine was in town for the weekend with his gf and we met up in downtown. Prior to meeting her i’ve heard that she was a bit strange… How? Let’s not get into details… Anyways, so when GW introduced us she gave me this limp dead-fish handshake that in my books is a total turnoff! (it’s like why even bother)… So from that moment on I could sense tension… Why? Beats me… Things started to ease off a bit while we were shopping / snapping photos around town… By dinner time after when she went to a family dinner and it was just GW and I he told me that she thought I was flirting with him and she saw me as a threat (rofl… Couldn’t stop laughing!) SRS?! I guess some girls are that insecure… Because in no way was i hitting on him consciously or subconsciously. Anyways it get funnier when we and her included was (she didnt end up going cuz she said she was tired) to meet my other two gfs for drinks and dessert in yaletown but then they took so long dropping things off at the hotel that JY and AK said it was too late since they had to work early today. Later when she learnt that my friends bailed also she said isn’t it ‘convinent’ that my friends should bail… hahaha … Then goes off on a tangent saying that maybe I ‘needed a shoulder to cry on’… OMG anyways told my friend it’s cool to call it a night before something funnier spits out of her mouth …
Can’t believe it’s already fall and the end of september… The fake weekend of summer went by and today is a gloomy rainy day…
The past few months went by so quickly yet so slow… This summer i’ve accomplished so much yet at the same time it seems that i haven’t completely moved on… i’ve done so much outdoorsy activities… surfing, hiking, camping, bbq-ing, chilling with my bestest(s)… I feel like i’ve gotten a new lease on life… i’ve becoming the person who i used to be yet somewhat also different… I like being able to chill and just soak up the sun… being social-able… not being tied down with negative people and thoughts is a great feeling… because over time those things just rub off on you in all the wrong ways… you start becoming more grumpy and less approachable… you start finding flaws in things that are really unimportant… you become unattractive… i like being around people that can feed happy vibes… that are just silly and can goof around… it’s been awhile since i’ve laughed so much… my friends and family are the best… i can not thank them enough for helping me pull thru my darkest moments… and help rebuild a part of me that was buried…
There’s also a part of me that i hope to compartmentalized because at the oddest times, it still really bugs me… it still really makes me sad… it still really makes me feel dumb… Sometimes when i think, ‘ok, today i can move on…’ or that i thought i’ve moved on, let go… somehow it just creeps back in… i don’t understand why it had such a profound impact… but i think it’s improving… time will make it less acute… it’s not something i will forget nor something that i want to forget… it just needs to be locked up in a vault… In His Time…
sometimes we have to forget about what we don’t have, and focus on what we do have…
