work woes..

so che. markedi left due to depression last march and i have a new boss. obviously i didn't get a promotion let alone increment because i saw my last appraisal's score. it panned lowest among all my colleagues but still NO CHANGE in responsibilities.

^!*#!&)!*$@(%@*&%^)@(&^)@&%)@8578105

i'm trying to focus on the perks of the job which are (in no order) :-

1) people and service orientated. the percentage between the good and nasty is on a scale of 60 : 40. what can i say but that's my challenge smack there. you can't please everyone at the end of the day but every thank you and a smile makes my day.

2) the greenest surroundings ever in my professional life. i'm surrounded by green and quiet MOST of the time and nothing beats fresh air to industrial pollution. smoke break is looking out to birds fucking in the tree and squirrels playing tag on the grass grounds.

3) small and supportive team makes it easier to manage and heightens productivity. its a very family like atmosphere and the bitching we leave to the residents to do hehehe.

4) dress code in office is more relaxed. i can wear cargo pants and a shirt with boots or flats and no one would  bat an eyelid. woohooo!!!

okay but i'm not feeling better about today's run in with my new boss who i shall call. che. edtiger. his simple mistake was to pass me a set of documents that HQ requested to despatch over. HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! do i look like the despatch guy? i told him that he should just put in in the tray assigned for the despatch guy that comes in every Wednesday and Friday. he doesn't have to pass it to me. also, i'm tired of having to fend off people in HQ badgering me about there must be semblance of order now that he is on board. che. edtiger said THEY can speak to him about their unhappiness and the previous manager left a load of mess for him to deal with. to which he got my blunt reply - "its YOUR shit now so DEAL with it."

i then arranged for our guy to send over some urgent document and will include this in my errand call on his behalf. che. edtiger didn't blink and went back to do his work.

10 mins later he called me into his office to talk about 'admin stuff' to which i obliged and sat down in all seriousness his 'revelations'! i was prepared to jot it down because i already know he has the tendency to repeat himself.

yeaps, just as i expected - HE DID.

his 5 min meeting was how i should set up my filing, be more organised, follow up closely with feedback and last but not least punctual. all of which he has told me about FIVE TIMES already. my pose in reply was indifferent but in concurrence that its noted down. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! don't you think i know this is just a ploy for you to get your honour back? after i blasted you this morning about how you might even ask me to wipe you ask if i didn't lash out at you.

tsk!!!

from a month grace, my patience for mr. edtiger has shortened down to TWO WEEKS tops. after that, its no mercy - you walk as you talk and no bullshit about how the previous guy fucked up big time. he's long gone now hombre - you are the head honcho now.

stay sane *breathesintopaperbag*

j@e

ps: so i blew my top off because of something simple. suck.it.up. i'd remember to show you nicely how things are done by patting a seat next to my table and do a little demonstration of how things get done ehk?
