Cold cold saturday morning, lotsa thots
about time that i post something else, other than tragedy and material gains on the blog.. well, went back to the office today to clear some work and everything pretty stable (by that, i meant no emergency and screaming customers)
It's the year 2006 now.. gosh... my life just fly by so fast! so many things has happened since my 21st birthday. Lots of excitement & disppointment, also learnt a LOT from working in an MNC.. came to one conclusion.. it sucks! EVERYONE is so bloody "plastic", not to mention, acting too smart for their own good..
Of course, 'Moi' with my loud character has attracted lots of undesirable comments (behind my back) Had found out that those so-called 'friends' who had been very friendly with me, are actually bitching and stabbing tons of daggers in my back. It's amazing that i'm still able to move about after all the crucifixions.. ke ke.. Hmm.. i mustn't make it seems like there are nothing but villains in this kinda work environment.. There are nice souls around, eg. Bernard who doesn't talk much but is always nice to me.. then there's Jwee Tat, who would always come and drag me out of the office for a smoke (even though he doesn't!) and chit chat to de-stress..
i think, all in all, this MNC experience has been interesting, but well.. nothing compared to my preferred industry.. doesn't really feel appreciated and doubt there'll be much chance for me to climb the corporate ladder (and i refused to succumb to BOOTLICKING for it!) you'll just be amazed to know how many unworthy personnal are being promoted, just because they suck up to the right people.. damn! That's what i define as shallowness...
well, about time to call it quits and go back to my old line. After all, designing has always been my forte.. oh, speaking of which, i must mention what has happened yesterday.. there's this lady (let's just call her 'duh') that was always behaving like she's so concerned about my wellbeing, personal life... blah blah blah.. Cut to the chase. Tell you what she did.. my other colleagues were having a discussion about promotion being given only to those who knows the right connection in the company, and my immediate boss was saying, that's the way things work around here.. i causally agreed to what he said and merely add in, that's why i'm looking elsewhere now.. one of the girls (very sharp) asked, "so you must have an offer already?" Didn't really want to divulge too much, as everything is still uncertain, so i simply said "yah, but not confirmed"
Just imagine my astonishment, when that 'duh' suddenly said, "everything he said, you better take it with a pinch of salt"
My goodness!! i mean, what happen to her manners? Even if she doesn't believe or trust me all this while, this is no way to put down another person?! it's just plain rude!! I was so flabbergasted that words just won't come out. Well.. Err... for only about 10 secs anyway.. After recovering from her personal attack, i said to her sharply, 'I don't see any need for me to validate anything with you, if you feel that way, so be it. You don't have to believe anything i said"
Then she put on this act and tried to cover herself up by repeatedly slapping her own face and said she shouldn't say such things.. My god, just give it a break, lady! no one would be so idiotic to believe that those words were blurted 'accidentally' And she try so hard at acting stupid, maybe i should just take her as what she tries to be.. stupid?
