After Thots
You know what? After what happened for the past few days, I'm starting to believe that twitchy eyes do mean something in the reality.
Not making this up, but my left eye started to twitch since Fri or Sat (can't really recall). According to the chinese, when the left eye twitches, it means good luck, but if the right eye twitches, that means you're expecting some mishaps soon. For me, it's just the opposite. Left eye twitch = smell trouble soon.
So there I was, getting involved in the 2 shitty issues for those couple of days. And finally the eye stopped twitching today, else I dunno what bad luck to expect more.
Anyway, I was confiding my probs with this colleague over dinner who happened to work as late as I did on that night. Suddenly I realise that I wasn't the only one having all the work frustrations, she was having her bad share of luck in work too. We both spoke about our bad experiences and frustration, and boy, it was a relieve to finally let off the steam we have accumulated all these while!!
I've never like to be involved in any work politics. For me, doing my job and fulfilling my duties is my top priority, remaining cordial relationships with colleagues is next, other than that, I dun give a damn. Work hard and work smart is always my motto to move to the next level. I've never been lucky in the jobs I'm in, unlike some other close galfrens who could move from high profile vendors to another high profile vendors within a short span of time. Even the one whom I used to mentor during my distributor days is now a Manager. Me? I'm still an Assistant Manager, having to suffer bully and insults by some barbarian Indian who thought that it's a big deal just being a Snr Sales Manager in the company. For all that you know, his salary could be the same as mine. So back off you piece of lard!
Alright, I shouldn't make comparisons, but don't you think the higher you go, the more respect you need to garner to secure your position? If only I was a Marketing Manager, you think that arsehole can be nasty to me like that? But then again, even if you are the Managing Director but behave like some dumb shit, respect from others is something you will never get, even in your next life! If you are a Snr Manager, pls behave as one and not abuse your authority or jump at trivial matters like demanding priviledges for a hotel SINGLE room during a sticky situation or pissing people by stressing to your colleagues that your job is to do sales and not following datelines set. That shows how unprofessional and stupid he is.
I can forgive him, but never forget. He has to account for what he has done, the damage is already done and the little respect that I had for him has been thrown down to the drain and washed out to the sea.
Oh yah, last evening took the north-east line to Dhoby Ghaut to meet Hubby Goh. These words caught my eyes and it has never leave my memory since:
SUCCESS IS NEVER FINAL
FAILURE IS NEVER FATAL
Agree?
