Of work
I have an uncanny ability.
I can recognise a person's voice instantly on the phone the moment s/he says hello. I only need to talk to that person once on the phone and I can identify her/him rightaway. Of course it is not spot on all the time, but I get it right at least 9 out of 10 times.. Heh.
So in a typical day at work, when my ever long-suffering phone rings... brrrrrrrrr
"Good evening ML... this is Sharon"
"Hello..... "
"Oh hi XXX, how you doing today?"
"Wow, you can recognise my voice.. *giggles* *laughs*.... "
Just today, someone called me from Zurich. I have only spoken to her like once a few months back and I could recognise her instantly the sec she says hello. I could tell she was plesantly surprised. Heh.
I don't know how I manage this, but its pretty cool eh, no? :)
Know of any job which this ability will come in real handy? Don't tell me telephone operator!!
That aside, I so wanna bitch about this @%*^& at work. She's a real pain and I am so glad we aren't in the same team.
She is such a biatch!! I don't know why she fancies office politics so much. BLEH. She backstabs people, fabricate tales to bring others down (so as to elevate herself) and is totally blunt and nasty in her words.
A colleague is getting remarried and was sharing with us about her wedding preparations, and this &^%^ had to say it out loud something to the effect of "Hiya, why you bother... blah blah.. maybe got next time again.. " This is so not something you make a joke out of, and the way she said it didn't sound the least like a joke. She meant it to insult and embarrass.
She fabricate and spread tales. During her perf appraisal meeting, she told our manager that she intend to further her studies cause she believes that will help in her career advancement. Nothing wrong with that you think. Of course what happened during her appraisal meeting is strictly between her and the manager. It is unspoken rule that you don't talk openly about things like your perf appraisal, promotion and pay etc.
Anyway she came out of the meeting and in her usual blabbermouth loudmouth manner, announced to the department that "You know what, the manager said working in this department, no need to study so much. No point lah.. "
And it turns out...
The manager said no such thing. This $%&^ was the person who made that very exact comment to the manager! And how stupid can she be? To say that out loud in front of our Asst Manager? What was she thinking about? That our AM will feel sorry for her and think otherwise of our Manager? Word travelled and eventually got to the manager and the manager was hopping mad! I'm not surprised!
And in her team (which only consist of her and this other colleague), she does jack shit and all she knows is delegate and *TGTS. I was pretty amused when I heard she even questioned this other colleague on her stats reporting - why it was so high when not much work was done. (we do stats reporting on the work requests we pick up) What total bollocks! I wonder who the real skanky lazybum is!
ARghhhh!! She infuriates me...... What a biatch!! I don't like her .. I don't like her .. I don't like her .. I don't like her .. I don't like her .. I don't like her .. I don't like her .. I don't like her .. !!!!!!!!!! Now, that's a bf! (bitch fit, think White Chicks) :P
