well, well. i must say, this
VJC 4 - MJC 2 (aye. cant go any bigger le)
is truly SATISFYING TO THE CORE.
never mind that i'm an ex-victorian, and i should probably be above these smug feelings, but..
SHIOK SIA!
OH REVENGE IS SWEET!
well in case you're going all self-righteous and saying "don't be childish" and all that, let me bring you back a year ago to the time where the situation (for some unconceivable reasons) was reversed, and all of us were victims of outright mockery and jeering by SOME PEOPLE from this very same school (and SOME sore losers from the previous year, but never mind that).
ahem. operative word being SOME. of course not everybody is childish like these few people who spoil the good name of the school. and so very obviously, the sweet revenge part is merely directed to these few.
ah. rightful champs once again. :)
okay i'm done with my dose of childishness for the day, let me bring you back to the horrendous working world.
all along, i've assumed a joking tone when talking about my evil superior, but as of yesterday i can tell you that things have made a turn for seriousness.
she is now beyond plain nit-picking and irritating comments.
she is now using her authority to bully us. she is NOT beyond rolling her eyes at your face, asking you "WHY ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME??" and clicking her tongue at your stupidity. AND then proceeding to tear things up and throwing it aside loudly.
she is NOT beyond throwing at you the work she does not want (because doing it would mean SHE would be getting hell from the customers, and nooo, you're just a temp staff so she wants you to get it).
she is NOT beyond using sentences like "WHO IS YOUR BOSS??" and dropping terms like "the higher management" to belittle you.
and no, she has no qualms about you starving during lunch hour just to finish up HER work.
"what? you're telling me you had no free time throughout the day (to make the calls)? then what have you been doing during your free time?"
i would have thought it is extremely self-explanatory that FREE time, is as its name suggests, A BREAK.
she is now all out looking for all ways and means to put us down, to find faults, and then to embarrass and belittle us.
and i can tell you, from the way i openly defied her orders (throwing back the shit work she threw at me) and rebutting her every single sentence yesterday, there would be more to come in the following weeks.
"what have you been doing during your free time? you need to be accountable for all your working hours"
"helping out with (my two friends) with the work"
"why did they give you work to do?!" (ie i want YOU to clear my rubbish which other people have assigned me to do and not theirs)
"they didnt. i volunteered"
"tell (one of my friends) i want to talk to her later" (ie. i want to 挑拨离间)
"i've already TOLD YOU. I VOLUNTEERED. she didn't ask me to do it" and with that parting sentence, i spun on my heel and stalked off.
the atmosphere at the office then turned icy and tense.
it's all fine and easy to say, "just quit!". but in a sick way, the more she challenges me, the more i would stay on and not back down.
and of course at the end of the day, i want to make her sorry for every single thing that she has ever done to us.
sometimes you'd wonder if she's really stupid or just plain dense. we are the wrong people she should be picking on.
does she not realise that we are the ones going back to school later in the year?
does she not realise that five years later when i'm with my degree in banking and finance, AND COMING BACK HERE, she would still be where she is today (no doubt, given her abilities and all), i'm going to be her boss this time around?
(ok, the last one is just a fantasy. but trust me, she has given me much motivation)
and does she not realise that she is inches away from stepping on a land mine? (not to be elaborated)
we shall see what happens next, in the upcoming episode of The Perils of The Working World.
