My office people...

My goodness, i have a neurotic boss... her mood is really like the weather... very very hard to get through to her... *faint* sometimes can smile with you, sometimes can talk to you, sometimes totally not approachble, soemtimes scolding ppl.. most of the time black face... how to capture her mood like tt?? aiyoh...
my current office is rather errmmmm how shld i phrase it, very interesting.. my mentor blows hot & cold - there have been a few lunches whereby she don't bother to call me... and its even worse with a new colleague who is sitting downstairs with me in the 1st floor office... had to bring her out for lunches as her mentor was not free... thus, my mentor probably thought i have sold my loyalties to the other grp in the office... sian.. so political...
then there is this thing between my section and another section.. both sections cannot seem to see eye to eye with the clients that we both have to serve, no one is exactly very nice to one another..
one of my section's colleague is extremely blunt with words.. and she will just shot off any emails complaining abt the other section, she acts before finding out more... *faint* this is very bad as she is already in the bad books of many colleagues..
then there is darren and angeline.. sighhh.... angeline is a female colleague who sits in the same 1st floor office with me (main office on 6th floor) On the first day i sat in the office, she has been suaning me since then.. and with who? with Darren who sits in the main office.. he is a guy that she fancies.... i was suaned like mad when she knew that i had the msn of darren, chatted with her online and wouldn't let me go.. SCARY! everything i ask her abt work, she asks me to ask him, and if i really do so, i get rebutted by him saying that she knows best.. ANNOYING! i'm like a soccer ball being kicked around like nobobies business... its always top performer this top performer that... you go ask top performer lah.. he will ans you, he will not ans me one.. i fainting from fear after the first week downstairs.. As my mentor and darren stayed overnight on one of the weekends, i questioned abt "is she in love with you?" and my suspicion was affirmed... She likes him.. apparently, she has been all along, smsing him everyday, morning, afternoon, evenings and in the nights.. that excludes emaling during office hours.. and he actually complained that just by replying her smses, he has exceeded his monthly usage of 300 smses (fyi, he doesn't sms many ppl) he actually calculated, if he reply all her smses, he will use abt 300 smses and mth.... so now, besides wanting to deter her very badly, he does not reply to her personal messages and only replies work related messages... even emails and msn messages also.. on top of that, he is extremely nasty to her.. He is the kinda of person who is very gentleman with ladies. He will hold the door for you, he dun mind running small errands for you, don't normally say nasty things to you... all in all, he is a very mild person. and you know what's the best thing? She INSISTS that she does not like him more than a friend... i mean, she has even invited him back home for dinner, (saying that her mum invited him) even the colleague newly on board feels that she is so balant abt it.. so obvious.. i wish she will stop all of this lah.. at least its a hope with very little chance... pray hard hard...
ohh to make ths office dynamics even more interesting, i just found that i have 2 lesbians and 1 bisexual colleague in the office.. it was from the horse's mouth... we were out having drinks, 4 of us, and when a pretty gal walked past 2 of them turned... and that's where i started my qns.. i was very hmmm.... straightforward abt it.. no guessing, no hidden qns, just plain, you prefer F or M? and their ans was F... the other said, its neither, she's bi.. wah very interesting... oh well, they are the ones i can click rather well in the office.. this doesn't change much.. and i was quite surprised with myself that i did not generate negative vibes cos i'm not exactly used to having les friends.. only have gay frens.. maybe i've been "trained" well.. hmmmm.. well, i still like to talk to the 3 of them.. and i think one of them is a bit more relaxed now that she knows that i don't react negatively to her sexual preference, which is good... =) happy to know lah... oh well.... =)
