YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW ME }

Just "managed" to reach home finally, haha. Tomorrow will be a meaningful day to remember as it will be the last day of 2005. Hope this day will be the most wonderful day in 2005 for me filled with wonderful moments. As for my beloved friends and to those who are reading my blog now, i sincerely hope you all have enjoyed 2005.. though pain and sorrows u might have, im sure there are happy moments too.. all is part and parcel of life.. it is a balanced.
Anyway i would like to share abit of some incidents that happened recently ever since i started working in this new company. Just to emphasize that im consider quite new in the working society as i have just graduated this year in May 2005. Worked in AIA Alexandra from June-September and October-now(KIV Pending,lol) in my current company... still consider a newbie. Ever since i started working, i have slowly begin to "see" more of people's behaviour and way of doing or handling things. It is really an eye opener for me as before that, i really do not have a taste of so-called having a full time job tho there's bits and pieces here and there.. like giving tuition when i was 18 years old.. sales.. admin clerk.. so on and so forth.. Hmm what i would like to say is, everyone has their way of doing things which we can't control but as we all agrees, sometimes their way of doing things affect us in some ways.. be it indirectly or directly. All these are part of working life. However, i really can't understand why, as working adults, no matter where u work, or what position u hold, you should uphold urself and be professional. This give others a good impression of yourself and you will feel good too. Why, for goodness sake, make oneself so lowly. Make sense? Age is not an issue. One can be 21, yet she or he behave more mature than a 31. Why. Its all in the mind. No one controls u. You control urself. No one can change u except urself. I can always remind u but yet cant go thru ur mind which is deem useless. Select a strategy that really works for u. Everyone needs different kinda method for it to be effective. How? Read more EQ books to find out. I always believe in constant learning. In fact everyone is learning, no matter how old u are. I believe that the older u are, the more u "should see" by right. But it proves me wrong sometimes somehow. Why?
I am considered the youngest in my office, (brushing aside two 18 yrs old gals who are working part time as admin staff), the rest are either aunties, uncles or at least late 20s or 30s. There was this man or rather i should say not only him, quite alot who still behave like "kids".. the way they present themselves, their gestures, the way they talk on the phone to their clients proves me all. They are either not sincere with their words, trying to bluff their way out in order to earn commission.. i dun respect them at all. No way. They are so-not professional, be it talking or chatting with colleagues.. of course i must say there are well-behaved ones too.. imagine a full-grown adult taking ur things on ur desk and hides it somewhere, trying to be funny.. wanna see how u panic which makes their day, and lastly return to you or put it somewhere and trying to end the game after acting blur. Familiar? Come on, grow up and be sensible. Thought all these happen in secondary schools day, at least. Even in my tertiary days, i dun do that. Hello, working adults leh, oh my gosh. I find it funny if someone tells me this but i find it angry when that happens to me. Pls lor, its not nice to laff right? When i am busy, i have no time for all that. Even if i am not, i would find it really silly of them. Imagine two adults playing over a toy cockroach and trying to put on me after my third warning. Imagine playing with my chair, tossing round and round when i stood up. Imagine patting on ur left shoulder while sitting on ur right and when u turn around, he's pretending to do his stuffs. I can stil take it if he or she is young but defintely not for a over 40 year old adult. I am so pissed off and find it so weird. However today which is just now, i stood out for my rights and warned them. Must be firm and assertive in handling this kinda people. My colleagues which have been here longer, says that some are like that so must beware.. maybe i am new and young so they take advantage. Be it young or what, i think everyone needs to be respected at least for who they are but of course u have to behave in a well manner in order to earn "more" respect. Ha. He can be angry, for all i care, but i hope he had learnt a lesson although i dun think he will. Whether he will or not is none of my business as long as he dun affects me again. Actually i can joke with friends who are closer to me because it makes the topic interesting with abit of jokes here and there sometimes and of cuz it can enhance the whole conversation throughout but definitely not this kinda lame jokes or tricks. Of course life would be so boring if u are so serious all the time. The trick is to joke at the right time, right venue with the right "toppings" and hopefully to the right person because not everyone may find it entertaining or some people can't take jokes, even minor ones. I can be very funny if i want too but when it comes to work, i wanna get serious and back to business esp when u are busy, u feel really fed up or pissed off with all these actions. I find myself going back to my teenages years after meddling with them so much. I hope theres someone out there who are mature enough to share with me more etc so that i can "grow" according to my age and not grown and full stop.
