‘Pissed Off’ Entry
Yesterday I was so darn pissed in the office. I was working and printing 320 pages of A4 size documents since morning, nonstop. Didn’t even have time to pee except for 20minutes lunch break and back to work again. Little did you know I am still using Canon bubblejet printer here. Yeah, I hear ya. So uncool and slow. Anyway, I can live with that.
It all started when someone much much much more senior than me accidentally kick the printer off the table. I know accidents happen anywhere, but at least you apologize or pick it up. Instead of that Your Highness have to bent down and exposed my butt in the air while picking up all loosen parts and he just walk away…. lidat!!! I told myself, “Nevermind, I can live with that.”
Now, the printer just refused to work after that. Grrr…. I was so desperate at that moment as I have another 80 pages and 2 hours left before I head home. Worst thing is, this document needed a special program to work on it and there is another collegue who have it in her puter. Went over to ask her if she can lend me her puter but she said she’s working something on it. “Fine!”
So went and complain to my Financial Controller that my printer kaput (spoilt) and need a new one. Oh, she say, “Wait la.” Wah, I have a two hundred thousand cheque in my hand waiting to be bank in and she ask me to wait. Now getting more desperate, went and complain to my Manager that I have no printer, my collegue said she can’t lend me her puter and FC not buying a new printer cos she’s waiting for a new one to drop from the sky!
Then my Manager went and talk so NICELY to that collegue telling her how urgently we need it done and the cheque is waiting to bank-in together with the documents. Then that collegue reply, “I’ll help her print them from my puter.” FFS! I thought she say she has work to do????!!! She seems so afraid to let me use her puter. Why? I think she had lots of porn in there!!!! That is why!!! Then again my Manager have to explain lots of thing. The way I see her pleading at that collegue is getting on my nerve. So I told my Manager to forget about it. I have no printer and it is not my fault and I’m sitting on the two hundred thousand cheque.
Conclusion, I was so darn mad and pissed, I went and kick and kick the printer. Then… then…. woot!!! Working liao. Woohoo!!!
aitelyu, I couldn’t care less if I can’t get my things done on time. The company is at the loss actually. Not me.
*sigh…* I don’t usually rant about my office stuff here but yesterday i was so darn pissed at their tidak apa attitude. If I were to put up this entry yesterday, BOY! aitelyu, it’s gonna be so flowery in here with lots of centre finger flying here and there. I also learn another thing. Give yourself timeout. Count 1 to 10. If didn’t work, count it backward. If still didn’t work, count 1 to 100. If still can’t work then go and bash that person up or flatten his/her car tyre. Ooi, just kidding la. I don’t do that type of thing. I’m such an angel. *cough*

Foo-yoh… office politics. The bloody thing is that have to keep everything inside because cannot scold ppl in public.
To quote bad boys 2, “Woooo sah…”
Pamper yourself this weekend! Go for hour long massage and facial, guarantee to shift that mood around.

What the hell? How does someone knock a printer off. And then just walk off. You need a newspaper. Everytime someone acts so stupid or inconsiderate whack them in the head with the paper.
Hope the rest of your week improves.

Queen ..
Office politics is common .. everywhere. Just take it easy, as long as you had done your best & your Boss knows about it .. it’s okay. It’s not the end of the world & life goes on. The cheque will be banked in eventually & your #@%* colleague (pardon my rudeness) will get her pay becoz of your efforts. And all of them will have to buy you pizza becoz of that … see .. everything will be fine.
Yea .. a pic of you kicking the printer will be a welcome sight !! 🙂 🙂

Ah its not that bad, seriously. Compare to my ex-spastic-colleague, your colleague is only selfish. But mine, well, he’s not even a complete idiot (his brain is missing). I am normally cool about things, but him, man, my blood was basically boiling!!!!
Anyway, just remember this: they do not worth your time, period.
There, better? 😛
