A New Beginning for a New Week

Before I entered the office at 7.20a.m. this morning, I was thinking since this is a new working week I should have a better attitude towards my colleagues ie. be more patient with them and see the best in each of them. Unfortunately this new attitude was shortlived and only lasted for 40mins.

My colleague KK went for a project meeting last Saturday. When he was there, he was reminded that the drafting team had to come out with the remaining drawings within this week.

This morning when KK arrived in the office, he quickly reminded everyone involved in the project. He did not receive any negative comment except from the laziest person in the whole office – EJ. EJ told KK to ignore their request! Can you believe such an answer? Sometimes I really do not understand people. If they do not really want to work, why do they work then? Might as well stay home and do nothing. Their sense of responsibility is zilch.

KK did not answer him and on the way back from EJ’s desk, KK had to pass by my desk. KK asked me if I heard what EJ said. I told KK I heard EJ loud and clear. Both of us wanted to ‘vomit blood’.

Vomit blood Yet another graphic way to denote extreme frustration and annoyance. ‘My flight was delayed for five hours. I waited until vomit blood’.

Maybe the boss should ignore EY’s salary at the end of this month. Haha
