What a @#?!%$ my so-called 'Boss' is!!!
Yes, you heard me right. I know I have been screaming this since god knows when... but there are really times when one seriously questions the mental & intellectual ability of that bloody idiot (who is probably blind as a bat as well) who choose to appoint this so called 'BOSS' to my company!
The stupid email that she 'happily' sent this evening has totally spoilt my mood for today man. The ONLY consolation I could try to get from this situation was that I stayed back and read this stupid email... and not to have read it tmrw morning, cos it will seriously spoil my mood for the whole day tmrw.
If you are wondering what had inflamed me; why not I include the supposedly 'moral-boosting' or rather, the downright demoralising email here for your perusal. Perhaps one would get a clearer picture of what a 'great' boss the Cruella is like.
Dear Colleagues
Some feedback I received from council members for your attention please:
1. Secretariat assisting in meetings should try to pay attention to the discussion and jot down notes during the meeting rather wait to listen to the recorded tape after the meeting. Writing the necessary notes during the meeting would be more efficient for follow-up of matters that require immediate attention. Draw up a to-do-list during or right after the meeting so that no important issues would be omitted or forgotten along the way. Staff to take note of specific deadlines and help council members and chapter chairmen to keep track of this.
2. Minutes of a particular meeting should be ready and circulated to members of meeting within 2 weeks of meeting date.
3. Generally, it would be good to cc the chairman or council member i/c of the chapter/meeting to keep them informed of the progress of any outstanding issues to be carried out and not have to make them check on us. As our
council members have full-time jobs, this would lighten the heavy load they have to shoulder each day.
4. Staff should obtain 3 quotations for any purchase above $1000 (exact amount to be confirmed at the next Council meeting). This is inclusive of venue package to hold events.
Feel free to see me should you need further clarification.
Regards.

AND the thing is.... this email was sent to ALL my colleagues and CC to all those in the Council. WHat a BOOT-LICKER!!! I mean, fine, you want to 'educate', chid and remind the secretariat... what should you do? Do you send a general email, telling them exactly what should be done and let your superiors know that you have sent this bloody email?!!? It is such an obvious ploy to show the latter that she is keeping the staff in check; I mean, what the hell is this??
The email and this approach sure works great as a moral booster right? What 'Dear Colleagues'? She doesnt even talk to us face to face or look us in the eye! The only thing she does all day is to sit upon her pedestal and try to please the Councillors and be their 'slave'. And when one of her 'dear members on the council, so much as raise a tiny comment about how some things could be improved, does she defend her staff? Dream on man...the answer is NO! What she does is totally despicable - she just points at all those below - US, her so-called 'Dear Colleagues' and say " you should do this, you should do that, because some one in the Council has complained", then wtf does she have to cc all of them for? To kiss their butts, but of course.
WAB!
Singapore is Doomed to end...cos of pple like this....
I have been told that I take things too personally, take things too hard....but then again, if I don't have this kinda attitude towards my life, my work, whatever that affects me...who else will? I mean, don't I have the right to take things personally? Whatever shit that gets me upset, does so because it affects ME! If there is not a single ounce of impact on me; I can then be in the right state of mind to not give 2 hoots abt anything. Doesn't anyone get it?
And it is of no help that many of the people I am working with are so downright DUMB.... and I am putting it very kindly already... all kinds of derogatory terms are just rushing through my mind now and trust me, the level of stupidity I am facing, no words can come close to even describing it. I mean, what good is it if I, on my side, get everything done properly, correct instructions, etc...and that bloody IDIOT on the other end, goes ahead and screws it up and just says " I dunno". U tell me if I am not justified in yelling for his blood.
I mean, despite all the instructions to him to place the attendance form there and COLLECT it back...what is So freaking difficult about this instruction? Fine, the only moderately difficult word here is 'attendance' but since it still looks like any other white pc of paper, it shouldn't confuse him too much. And what did that imbecile do? He handed it to "some woman in red color shirt" (his words, not mine), and the woman didn't return it back to him. So under normal circumstances... what would be the usual course of action any human being with the slightest bit of brains?? FIND THE WOMAN WHO TOOK IT, especially when you have had strict instructions to collect it back. But no, what does our mentally challenged friend do? NOTHING! Yes, you heard me right, NOTHING...
So, when I asked him if he knew who the woman was? No...if he knew she was a doctor or not? Dunno...so how now? Dunno.... so what am I supposed to do? Dunno..now cannot find already.. WHAT A BLOODY #@$%#@#%$ ?!?!?

I wrote 3 whole paras and due to the pathetically slow speed of my internet connection... in the process of loading it up & stuff, the stupid browser hung..tried clicking back...and refresh and that's it man....
This is so freaking Pathetic ...
If I am still feeling that pissed off, I might just regurgitate whatever I had written earlier...(yes, you'll be amazed at how good my memory is)...
Moi, Moi, Moi
Was catching up on a couple of blogs of pple I know... haven't done much reading, breathing or normal living of the typical life of a working adult for the past 2 months. Yes, still trying to get out of the 'MIA' phase. Hmmm, apparently, different people have vary different ways of writing, and the things they write about are even more diverse; I have to confess that I don't even have the slightest inkling why they are writing about such things in the first place. Not that I am saying that only some issues/ things are allowed on one's blog... but I still have NO idea why they even blog it. Must be the way we are wired differently.... because I have never thought of blogging those stuff down. Either cos I don't have the time for it, or just that it doesn't bother me THAT much.... but then again, we all have different priorities. THis is the phrase that I have been putting across to all pple who question me about things... 'why this, why that...etc'. I just don't feel like explaining or elaborating.... there is no guarantee that they will all understand. Hence, instead of giving them a lengthy explanation, I figured that 'I have different priorities now" is a one-size-fits-all kinda reply...and so far, it has worked alright...
And if you are reading this blog entry..and are wondering...is she talking about me??? Go ahead....think, imagine, let it run wild.... If it makes you feel better, YES, I am talking about every single one of you.. hmm, although I think this kinda 'generic' answer doesn't really achieve the desired effects... Hahah, I sure hope I messed up your train of thought here...
And just in case some one with nothing else better to do but to read my blog AND CRITICISE me on my totally narcissistic views and downright cynical view of life.... may I reiterate, or should I shout it loud & clear - the title of my blog is moi-moi-moi, which loosely translates into French as Me, myself & I... and I have already stated the definition of a MEeting.... it's purely a discussion about me, myself & I... So... if my entries about the downs of my life, the imbeciles I face in the course of my work and my dissatisfaction with the whole human race irks you that much..., be my guest, please feel free to leave. You probably think that I am being plain obnoxious here, it's ok... I know, cos that's what it's supposed to be...and also, this only applies to pple who read my blog AND (i am emphasizing the word 'AND'...if you don't know what it means, please, locate a dictionary) CRITICISES it...
As for those fellow bloggers who find my entries a source of entertainment.... no matter how warped they are.... erm.... 'look out for more'? And as undesirable/ bad as it may be.... or wicked as I may seem... all those derogatory remarks made here are ALL TRUE....at least from my perspective.... and who dare say I am wrong?!!??
I am surrounded by IMBECILES; they throng my office...
Yes, that is my MSN nick, at least for now.... who knows, the mental capabilities of these organisms may just deteriorate quickly that they end up being unqualified for the term - imbecile. Oh, yes, there are TONS of other terms meant for single-celled, or should I more accurately put it, mentally incapable people who infest my work environment; and I am quite familiar with most of them. You have NO idea how many times I have been tempted to just use those terms on them - call them straight in the face. However, the satisfaction and the desired effect will not be achieved, as they may not even understand the term, or even be aware that it is an UNFLATTERING term. Come to think of it; perhaps I should provide them with dictionaries, or at least the URL to the Merriam-Webster website, for them to check out the meaning.
But then again, given their level of 'intelligence', although this term is used controversially here, one probably has to teach them how to use it. (Provided they know how to launch the IE, or know the order of the letters in the alphabet). One can nvr assume things - this is one of the first lessons I have learnt; upon working here. I am still tryin to get past the shock of having to teach someone how to use the Internet to search for information. And no....she is not that 'Ancient' - just 4 years older than me, 'supposedly' with working experience. Hmmm, am wondering if working for those companies required her to use her brain cells... not that there are that many to begin with. And coupled with the fact that cells die and regenerate.... which makes me wonder - does this basic rule apply to her as well? Because I just can't see any visible increase in the number of brain cells; not to just mention the quality... and it just seems like the brain cells just die off like that. Which is actually a worrying sign.
My fears are not unfounded; I mean, if one is 28 years old... and one's brain cells do not regenerate like those of normal people, and one is already 'inflicted' with lower brain cell count and lower quality in the first place...isn't this a horrendous situation to be in? Nevermind the fact that one's current job scope does not require much brain cells or any brain activity in the first place....but still, the destruction of all existing brain cells (or whatever's left) is a cause for worry....
I am sure you understand why there is cause for worry....
