Day 5-6...On-a-Trot

This blog of mine has picked up some "activities" recently. Don't ask me how I know, 'cos I've got a tracker in this humble blog of mine to do the job for me. Cheeky bastard, ain't I eh??

Been missing for one day. Yeah, off for some after-work quick-drinking-session with few mates of mine at a place nearby. Couldn't take it anymore of all the dumbness surrounding me, coupled with those really ridiculous requests from the clients, in addition to the level of "co-operation" that our oversea counterparts and my close matey, G has been facing the same shit since noon. [Both of us are from a team of 5 fabulous ladies and gentlemen. Truly a bloody brilliant mixture of personnel in this team. Love you guys. Fucking love y'all!]

So, how could I forget to give y'all daily dosage of our very own Motivator's (previously known as R) "adventure" eh?

Was suppose to put this one up in my last post, but heck, fuck it. It's my blog. I'm calling all the shots here, ain't I?

There's this occasion where D was asked to discuss on some notifications to be sent off to the clients. The normal practice since god-knows-when was that all the letters have got to be sent out before "extreme measures" are taken against those stubborn sonofagun clients ignoring all of those notifications. Motivator "enquire" from the team is there any possibility that we can skip all the rubbish notifications and proceed with the "extreme measures" directly since the sonofagun client is ignoring it. D said:

"Of course. But the approval has to come from yourself."

Hearing this, Motivator said:

"Can you send me an email on this matter, saying that you approving it, and then I'll shoot it over to the management and I'll do the explanation."

Eye bulged, stunned, D went ahead and told Motivator that she ain't doing that as she ain't getting the salary to do, and she's not empowered to do so. I ain't too sure of the final outcome of this one but seriously,

WHAT

THE

FUCK?!?!?!?!!??!

Motivator would've known all these if he had gone for the training. This kinda crap wouldn't have raised, fuck...this conversation wouldn't have taken place at all if Motivator has gone for the training.

But then again, IF. And it's a BIG if, that is.

Yea, his credibility, he ability has once again, dropped in my book.

Meh, hence a night of drink, as below picture to certify that claim of mine. Hah!



That was last nite. End of.

This morning, or was it yesterday morning?? Hmm, gosh.. Age is really catching up on me already.

Whilst I was soooooooo goddamn busy, working my butt off on cases. A notification hit my screen:"You've got 1 new mail"

Right, a new email has arrived. Let's check it out, shall we?? What I have?? This piece of crap, around 10-11 in the morning.

Isn't he suppose to be cracking his brain off with calls, replying emails et al? Why the hell is he sending this kinda crap to us?! I'm lost for words now.

As for the newbie, seems like making improvement now. He's finally into the training room, proving us all wrong.

Again, today Motivator asked me on the email tool of the newbie. For fucking hell's sake. I've told him yesterday it's all done & dusted. Settled. Capiche? I've spent 2-freakin' hours on that bloody piece of shit, when it's not even urgent. Yea. I ain't tech-savvy, some might think otherwise. I'm just an impostor, wanna-be. It's been 4 days on the trot that he has been pestering me since start of week on this piece of same ol' issue. Which got me thinking, why on earth does want it to be set-up so quick? Something fishy in-motion perhaps? Both trying to take over the department, or perhaps the whole company? Or are they planning on world domination via this small email tool? Gosh.

If none of the above applies, WHY-OH-WHY does he act like that?

Anyways, fuck it. It's over and done with. I'm a wee-bit famish now. Gonna grab a bite before I hit the sack soon. It's been another tiring day, still recuperating from last nite's drinking session. As the old saying goes:

DRINKING IS BAD FOR HEALTH

I'm feelin' ya, I'm feelin' ya.

This is me, signing off for the nite.

Tuesday, May....4-in-a-trot

So, it's Tuesday. 4 days in a row that I've been updating my blog. Never have I been so posting this one up so frequently since I got into this "new" company.

Got into office slight bit early than usual. Yeah, those who knows me personally will know that I've been arriving office on-the-dot, or arrive "slightly" late. So, go figure it out yourself eh?

Gotten myself straight into work-mode due to some unfinished task in order to send it over to the management in HongKong for their review. While I'm so into the task, a message from our internal Instant Messaging Tool pops up. Owh, it's him. Gaaahhh.... The message reads:

"Morning, I need you to help set-up the email tool for the newbie later."

How great it is to start the day off with this piece of bollocks. For fuck sake, he's a newbie, why are you so goddamn concern about his email tool?! Not that as if we're gonna send him any email on any of our cases/discussions/arguments. Even if there is, the newbie will be scratching his bloody bald head trying to figure out what on earth are we conversing about. I know the email tool is of the essential tool to all of us [tell me about it, I've just lost my email tool for a good bloody 3 weeks recently, remember?], but there are things that can wait, and there are things that needs to be paying attention to. Prioritize your work puh~~~~lease......

Gosh! Do I sound like a supervisor? Hmmmmm.

So, I responded to him politely, the message reads:

"K. I'm completing the report to be sent to Hongkong. I think you know about this one. You were in the loop on it as well. And I need to help the team in clearing all shit in our generic email inbox as it's swamped by lotsa emails from our clients that needs to be replied, and provide them solution with."

Thought I'll stop right there?? Fat chance. Next line was:

"To be frank, the email tool can wait as it's not that urgent. Once I clear everything in my hand, I'll set it up. I'll get it done by end-of-day".

Yea. Does this consider too harsh for anyone to take? I'm just telling him the truth. A newbie in our division needs to go through classroom training for 2 weeks, and then on the job training for another 2 weeks. During the first 2 weeks, it will not be necessary for the newbie to use his email tool. Newbie just got in yesterday. Email tool's ID would've been applied, say yesterday? According to my manager, all fresh new application for email ID will take 10 business days for them to get usable for the end-user. And here he is asking me to set it up for the newbie. Sigh, maybe it's my fault for not explaining it in details to him. He's new after all. Alright, my bad. I'm sorry.

Something else fishy just came to my knowledge during a meeting attended by D and her department earlier today, which is right after my "exchange" of Instant Messaging with R.

There seems to be a tad-bit confusion, if I may use that word, in terms of the headcount reporting into work at her department recently. D has raised this matter up towards R couple of weeks back, and also it has been reiterated to R that he's the one calling the shot, without involving Human Resource as Human Resource will comply with whatever decision that the leader of the team will make. During the meeting, this matter was brought up again as discussion, R gave the same reason of Human Resource provided to him and explained it to the participants in the meeting. Upon hearing this, all participants said in unity that the decision lies on the leader of the department, which is R himself. There's absolutely no need to refer this matter to Human Resource.

R surprised, jacked, stunned, eyes bulged. He said that he'll talk/refer to our manager about this and will let the team know the outcome later on.

Fine. Meeting's over. In less than 5 seconds, he told the staff involved to come in earlier than usual. Case closed for that as he claimed that he has talked to the manager about the matter.

Another "insider" of mine took a short trip to our manager and talked about this matter. Our manager said that R DID NOT speak to him personally, but instead via Instant Messaging Tool, few seconds ago. Right. Fishy? I don't know. You be the judge.

By the way, R didn't come to me today to sit down and learn the whole process and whatnot, as he has promised to do it yesterday. Day 2. *Shakehead*Shakehead*

Before he departs for the day, he left me a gentle reminder via Instant Messaging Tool to help the newbie set-up the email tool. Persistent bastard, ain't he?

When I last checked my email before I take off for the day, this is what I/team got in our email. Again, my second time in doing this. You better gimme a fucking big round of applause this time around, or perhaps another round of alcohol to go with it.



Inspirational!! Motivational!!!! Encouraging!!! Mind & heart-pumping!! Soul-stirring!

Absolutely top notch stuff!!

God I love my new supervisor!

Monday, May.

Right. So, the day of "reckoning" has arrived. Went into office, first thing I did is to of course test out the phone if it's ok for me to use, if otherwise, I would have go to my previous seat and tear-off that bloody annoying print-out and sit there till the phone is properly configured.

Fair enough. The phone is fixed. Next thing, my email tool. Time to check it out.

Right, to my surprise, it's up and running as well. I have no freakin' idea what on earth happened. Could it be the email ID that is stored inside the machine, or could it be something else?? I have no idea at all. But sadly for me, it's time for me to clear all my shiate off my inbox since early this month already.

Then, came along this piece of "masterpiece", which I think.....it's only exist in the world of those lowlife-scum-multi-level-marketing offices. Don't believe me?? Take a look at this below:



Now, I breached the company regulations, running the risk of being sacked by management by putting this picture up for you ladies & gentlemen's viewing pleasure. So, please, gimme a round of applause for that eh??

I didn't manage to snap the full content of it, but I think you, my wise-oh-wise readers should be wise enough to figure out the kinda message that *ahem* R is trying to send across.

I appreciate this. But for fucking hell sake, instead of having the time to do all these kinda shit, why doesn't he spend enough time with us, analyst and learn your trade with us?? How are you gonna keep up with us, and lead us when you ain't leading by example? Don't forget, you're an outsider, you know jackshit about virtually anything in our company, let alone our department's process flow.

Therefore, my manager got me out for a quickie-smoking-break early this morning. He knew what happened in there eventhough he was on leave last Friday. He confessed that he has no idea at all that this newbie is gonna come in today. Heck, he didn't even know that R has actually hired this guy! Well well well, this is gonna be interesting. He asked me WTF is actually going on here. He has heard stories flying around but he wanna solved this issue before he proceed to his new role oversea next week, and I told him so. After hearing my explanation, he said 2 words: " O K."

2 hours later, both R and my manager were in a room, one-on-one, "heart-to-heart" addressing the issue concern.

When I got back from lunch, surprisingly, R asked me on my availability so that he can join me in solving cases as well as listening to those incoming calls. Hmm, improvement? Hmm, maybe. I waited, no sign of him coming over. One of my mate, D who got framed in recommending the newbie on R's behalf also informed me via internal Instant Messaging Tool that R is suppose to do the samething with her after lunch, but he's nowhere to be seen as well. Told 'ya. Something never change. Let's see what will happen tomorrow then, eh??

Owh, Remember about D's incident in my last post?? Apparently there's a new twist in that event. Since I still have got ample time before I hit the sack now, let's do it shall we?

OK. The newbie is in. He looks to me like a fucking old-fart with almost-bald-hairstyle. Again, I'll let him prove me wrong.

In our company, it's compulsory to have 2 persons to attend an interview to prevent any favoritism issue. So, like I told y'all before, R was in it, as well as another female interviewer in it. I got to know from D late afternoon today that R is spreading the news that the female interviewer knows this newbie, hence she hired the newbie.

WTF?!?!?!?

What the hell is wrong with this guy?!?!?

Why is R twisting the story around now? For one moment, he said that he knew this newbie personally. Another second, he said that the newbie is D's friend. Next, it's the female interviewer's friend?!?!?! Is he having short-term-memory-loss disease??

The female interviewer is set to deny the whole "accusation" and report this to Human Resource that she doesn't personally know this newbie. My mate, D can't do jack shit 'cos she somehow got framed into doing it. As in D own words:"I was forced to do it."

Ladies and gentlemen, gimme suggestion to deal with this issue, will ya?? I'm lost for words now. Can't continue type anymore.

Be back tomorrow.

A Little Something

In my very last post, I mentioned something about "decorating" the bloody workstation for that bloody newbie that's gonna come in tomorrow, didn't I?

Yea. Here's the proof. I ain't no lying bastards.

Remember also when I said that he needed the printout to be "beautified" instead of sticking some A4 black & white paper up that monitor. Notice the edge of all boarders. It has been "beautified". You sonofagun.

The original full content of this picture has been "modified" to safeguard my future herein this company that I once left, and back again.

Note to self: 2.5 to go..... 2.5 to go....Patient my young ones.....Patient. Irregardless what happen, just shove it down your throat. Patient.

Right. This is gonna be hard.

Ahhh... Monday looming.
