hey you…
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
anyways… hope you’re well
