I miss my old blog, that's why i'm here to post a totally meaningless entry again. i miss my picture of the sweet little pink girl. i miss the snow. i miss everything. it's being reduced to being called an 'old blog' now.

I love my old blog. maybe i'll come visit it once in a while. or even post some irrelevant entries. or even tag. so if you ever happen to stumble in here, you are in an old blog. all the fun & chatterings are happening at chocolatekissess.blogspot.com now. sorry i can't seem to link this now. spammers. *rolls eyes

We've often heard of the term 'office politics'. to me, it's really politics as in a fight for power. but i dunno whether what we're experiencing right now can be termed as so. it's more like 'juvenile office bitching'. spiced up my working life though haha... i dunno what to do without all these super bitchy happenings. call me shallow call me childish. i'm having fun.

The story revolves around a headset. and this little girl who adored the headset so much as she depended on it for her daily nap at work. Nono not me.

For starters, we are all telemarketers. there weren't enough headsets to go around for every one of us. thus most people would have to call using the traditional handset. which looks damn uncool. (you know those chunky office phones). the headset actually makes you feel professional. like those pretty young ladies you see on tv where they go "hi may i help you?".

Anyway the good thing about headsets is that you can just put them on and slack and make people think that you are actually making calls. i think that's the main point.

So that's exactly what little girl was doing. she comes to work everyday, puts on her headset and sleep. i always wonder how she got away with it. erm like kinda obvious when you sleep right? hmmm...

Apparently some other telemarketers weren't very happy with her. as little girl came late one fine day, her neighbour took the headset and gave to another guy. little girl came. little girl saw what's missing. little girl made a little scene, and then took out another headset from her drawer. :s

THEY SAY it's her 'stand-by headset'.

Ok that's already pretty amusing. but wait. there's more.

Little girl was really pissed by the headset thief you see, so she wrote a note like this: "there is someone sitting at this seat. please do not remove anything from here, especially the HEADSET. anybody who takes the headset would be cursed and sweared forever. if you take things without permission you are STEALING." and put on her table before she left.

This is so funny that nobody noticed the grammatical error. the few of us who stayed back a bit later discovered the note and couldn't stop laughing.

One of us, this indian girl, she is very cheeky. she then proceeded to add on little girl's note: "sorry. this is company's property. thanks." and again took away the headset and gave to another uncool person without one.

This morning came, so did little girl. she kinda made a big scene as there were no more stand-by headsets. steamed, she asked around if anyone took her headset. she took her note and complained to the project leader: "someone took my headset! you know who is it? she even wrote something on my note! do you recognize the handwriting? can you find out who is it? i remember the serial numbers of my 2 missing headsets! is **** and ****"

I think the project leader almost fainted. does this remind you of primary school??? (teacher teacher!!) she replied: " er ya i think can! can lah can find out the handwriting. ya."

Ahem. this is so DUH.

However at a point of time i saw her happily holding another headset while going back to her seat. wonder where she got it from... hmmms...

The bunch of us were gossiping about her in the pantry during break, creating a hell lotta noise. young adults, the bulk of us age ranging from 18-23, having great fun over such things. quite childish. haha! but how could i not laugh over such an incident.

But laughing aside, i felt quite sorry for her. almost all of us temp telemarketers knew about her, and laughing at her. although in the first place she was at fault, but quite sad to know that people are giggling and gossiping behind your back eh.

Worse still, she's very friendly towards indian girl, THE ONE behind everything. she smiles and stops by to talk to her all the time. she doesn't even acknowledge the rest of us sitting near indian girl. ironic eh? these kinda things make me feel suspicious of the people around me all the time.

I guess it's not that we want to be hypocrites. i'd still try to maintain good ties with a person i dislike. why complicate your own life. xiao.

Therefore i shall just take it that everyone likes me if you don't voice out your criticisms in my face. yeah.

Ohoh and there are more idiotic stories at work. more on that next time. i feel so long-winded. BAH.
