Complaints, complaints and complaints….

I have officially returned to work after 5 long days of annual leave (Bah!) I did my routine daily check and everything is placed just the way I left them a week ago! With the radio station switch on ~ yes! 98.7FM please, I was grooving to the music. Typical me! Just to share a little about the eCom cubicle. It’s our own room where we call it our “eCom Crib” with out own relax and chill out space and listening to the latest music and sound! Power house! Hahahaha! Each individual have their own favorite genre of music ~ some would prefer Class95, Ria (not me anymore!) and Power 98! So when no one is around in the office or when I reach work first, I will tune the station to my favorite station ~ unknowing to the seniors! While my boss will always look for a chance to pick on me on the type of songs I am listening too, he willing bear with it. So did the rest! My boss will always start rumbling whenever the “Peacock” song by Katy Perry.


“This song again! I want to see your pickup (peacock)! ~ Boss.

Linda on the other hand will be enjoying herself ~ shuffling to Party Rock Anthem while the rest will be looking forward to hearing “On the floor” by Jennifer Lopez feat Pit Bull! Okay, the song has been repetitively played over and over again! We try to sing along sometimes, most of the time we were so out of tune but we just laughed it off. A good way to distress. The Princess (me) will be grooving to selective music but especially to Edward Maya and Vika Jugulina – Stereo Love. It addictive poisoning my brain and you can hear me singing to the tune ~ high in ecstasy! Ahem! Phat ass song!

“When you’re gonna stop breaking my heart, I don’t wanna be another one, paying for the things I never done, don’t let go, don’t let go, to my love” ~ Wah Ceh!


I was “fantasizing” myself singing the song when some people just have to spoil my mood. First thing is the temporary staff came up to my pedestal and began opening up my drawer without even asking me for my permission. I stared at him and he told me that he wanted to get the keys for our eCom storeroom. Where is your courtesy man? It’s my drawer and you should ask for my permission first before taking a peep into my privacy! Secondly, the same person admin tasks assign to him was to keep track and record the details of incoming hardware. Yes, he was doing his job and helping me to jot down the hardware details but his handwriting is atrocious! Yes I am complaining now! I was trying to validate it against my database but I could not figure out a shit out of it. I wasn’t able to understand a single thing (okay I am exaggerating here!)... So I called him to my table and told him off ~ thinking that he will learn from his mistakes. All he can say was “okay can..can”. “Okay, can I kill you now?” When the rest asked him to assist on a task, its either he do it wrongly or slowly. Worst still, I have major communication breakdown with him. It is hard to communicate. He will take a while to respond. Okay forget it! I thought that it’s unjust and I ought to give him some time to handle the admin task. Re-train him again! Guess what! It was still the same result and we requested for a change of resource. When we got a new resource, congratulation to us, he is much slower than the former one and he has no IT background. How can an agency accept and recommend such people to work for us? It is definitely not helping me in expediting my heavy workload. It is more of a hindrance and at the same time re-educating them on how to complete the task. Can someone please try to understand that I am drowning here with piles of projects to be undertaken and completed by the end of the year! Now we have two of the same staff working temporarily for us! How great and convenient! I am thankful that we are able to get more resources to help us with our tasks but we need capable people for goodness sake! Okay I am cruel now but I really need someone who is fast enough to help the team. This is definitely going to affect our KPI and performance…bearing with it for the next 3 months or so…somebody please help me breathe for now as I am keeping cool trying hard not to lose my temper… who knows someday I will if this continues….

P.S: Should i escalate? hehehehe..evil!
