A few gripes before I go to bed

I meant to write on this blog because I wanted to release feelings and
emotions on something, and not complain it out to people. I wanted
to use this outlet to relieve some pressure on the head, and not bother
people with stupid stories of my peeves with people, and situations,
which, I normally do. A LOT!

I sure do hope it is working, cause I want to talk about a certain person
that has been bothering me. Not by a personal manner, really. But
he has been causing me some frustrations regarding work. Let's
just start with something simple. It's not really work, but it is slightly
work related. So, this colleague of mine had to be temporarily moved
to our location, from KL. No negative reasons for the transfer, it was
actually to balance the workload that we have here. So, he's been
working in the company a couple of years more than me now, if I'm
not mistaken. Doing pretty much the same thing I've been doing
here. Well.. so he moved here.. with his family. And during the first
week in Miri, I was in KL for a course. So, I thought, as good
gesture, why don't I let him borrow my car for that week, so he
can work more comfortably, and have time for his family. Not a few
days from borrowing my car, he start cracking some stupid joke about
my car being a shit ass car, and it's starting to fall apart. Thanks mate.
but that's not exactly what I consider kinds words, even if it is a shit
ass car. And to put salt to injury, knowing that I'd come back on
monday, I would think that he'd try and clean up my car a bit, cause
as it would have it, my friends toddler made a little mess. Not even
a single effort. In fact, he didn't even say thank you or apologize
for whatever mess was in the car. Thinking I'd appreciate a little
ridicule from him AND messing up my car like that., I guess.

Anyways.. I'm tired of writing a long essay… What I want to say
regarding this guys and work. I hate his attitude towards work.
he doesn't prepare for work. He doesn't write any reports. He
doesn't tell people what he did when he tried to help a client. All he
thinks about is to make money to cover his debt, and his wife
who might be pregnant with a second child. Oh, so is he worried
about it, to the point that he doesn't even realize the kind of
screw up he is digging himself into, despite the little advice I'm
trying to pass to him. Maybe he's annoyed that a young lad
like me is trying to show a "seasoned" guy like him the ropes.
well trust me, I wouldn't bother if I didn't have to. And all I'm
doing is to show him what/who to watch out for when dealing
with our clients… to make him acclimate faster.. Thought it'd
be a good gesture, plus it's to put him up to speed. Well, I'm not
gonna bother anymore. In fact, I will, within professional reason,
refuse every request that he wants of me. Partly to piss him off a bit,
but mostly to not let myself be bothered by him. Although it's gonna
be virtually impossible, as we're supposed to be working side by side.
and I really wanted to learn from him stuff that doesn't happen on
this part of the world. Give him some respect, even. But I guess that'll
be a dream la… sekadar mimpi dalam mimpi..

Now, I have to go to Brunei on Sunday. There's just a lot of shit that
needs to be done, and I really hate it to leave it in his hands. Not
because I won't get credit for it or anything.. Just by the virtue that,
he probably will screw it up, or not do it at all. At least that's my
fear la. I hope it doesn't turn out that way… Goodness.. I really don't
like him…

Well.. actually.. should I have known him as a person.. takpe la..
I find him amusing. But I know him as a workmate, and that is
hampering on my work performance. Not to mention our service
performance. Entah la… Pete.. I sure hope I'm wrong. I really
hope I'm just a snot nosed kid who thinks too highly of himself.
and that the guy actually can do everything… let my pessimistic
view of this guy just be a view.. and not something that's gonna
turn our efforts into shit… sigh.. please oh please..

Okay.. it's been an hour of writing two blogs.. I really need sleep..

Later..
