Day 20 @ Millenia

Kl lady calls Kitty's extension: Can you come over? I'm doing the mails now.
Kitty: Ahh, I'm in the middle of something. Can you just do it 1st? Dun have to worry I can check your work first before you send out to anybody.
Kl lady: No, you have to guide me along on how to save the files all that. I'm new & really not sure of how to do it.
Kitty: HAHA, dun have to worry lah~~~ last Friday you were doing fine... you can practice more wad. I wont let you send out the mails without checking them first. In that case you wont get screwed by our bosses for doing it wrongly.
Kl lady: Why is it that you are not willing to help me? I already told you that I'm new and really need your help. Is it so difficult to help me?
Kitty (stunned): Oh dear, I didnt realise that it came across to you that I'm being unhelpful. If that's the case, I'll come over.
*hangs up*

Kitty: Alright MADAM, I'm here how can I help you?
Kl lady: I've scanned this, this, this & this.
Kitty: Okay.
Kl lady: So how can I save it into the common drive?
Kitty (boring): Right click on the attachment, then click save as.
Kl lady *still clicking on the email*: Dont have save as. What did you just said?
Kitty: Right click on the ATTACHMENT, then click save as.
Kl lady: Oh I see.
Kitty: Double click Y drive, double click Tax Invoices, find the company folder to be saved in.
Kl lady: Which company?
Kitty: You see the invoice you holding? It's bank XYZ, so you gotta find bank XYZ folder to save this file in.
Kl lady *finding from the 2 small columns of folders for 1~ 2~ 20~ seconds*: No I din see bank XYZ folder in here.
Kitty: You can scroll the page.
Kl lady *laughs out real loud*: OHH! HAHAHAHA~
Kitty: =.=

Day 18 @ Millenia (am)

Subject: Incoming Correspondences

This is an email not copied to Kitty originally:

Good morning Kl lady,

How is the takeover process progressing? Is Christine’s handing over professional?
Pls let me know if there is any problem with the takeover.

Thanks & Best regards
TM

==========

This is copied to Kitty when Kl lady replied:

Very Good Morning Sir,

Thanks for your email about takeover status.

Though I am gradually getting to know the scope of work through Christine, I need a committed time schedule from Christine to train myself hands-on as this job requires precise documentation such as SAVE files to corresponding network folders and distribution to designated recipients.

I will work with her to schedule on-job training to get things much easier and subsequently, I will update you the training progress.

Thanks & Best regards,
Kl lady



==========

Dear Kl lady,

Thank you.
Christine – pls give Kl lady the required time for smooth handover.
TCM – pls coordinate between the two ladies.

Thanks & Best regards

==========

No words can describe how I felt. That chAo tUbAn didnt even bother to check with me her adaptability in work, straightaway question her about my professionalism? HA HA! worried that I wont do a good job? No worries, since you have never trusted me, I can't be bothered to gain your trust either. Want a smooth handover? Sure. *PUI*

And if she thinks that by looking at her slowly do her work is to play my part to fulfil the "committed time schedule", I'll do it. 小女子乐意奉陪.


Day 18 @ Jurong Island (pm)

heard from big bro dat the fat arsehole told TM i'll be going to terminal today to pack the docs. TM gave a irritated look and asked why did christine have to go pack the stuffs. "She wants to steal the documents or what?" =.= (thanks for seeing me so up hor. who doesnt know im juz a small little fly who doesnt hold confidential documents.)

At the terminal...
TM: Hi Christine!
Kitty *big wide smile*: Hi TM! :)
TM: How are you?
Kitty *still smiling*: Good! Thanks for asking! *another wide smile*
TM: Good?
Kitty *smile smile smile*: Yeah I've been really good :)
TM *walks away*
Kitty (a smile is supposed to spread the happiness & joy ard, but i still feel good to piss someone off wif a simple smile)

Kitty cant use her terminal comp, luckily found a common desktop. Was checking mails when suddenly heard fast footsteps. the "click click" thing came into mind. =)
TM *angry voice*: What are you doing?
Kitty: Har? Checking mails lor.
TM *still angry*: What are you doing here?
Kitty: I juz taught SA on the commercial scopes she'll be taking over. Then now I need to check the status of Kl lady's online account see if its approved. Need to teach her next week on the pass application stuff.
TM: Alright, alright *walks away*

In the pantry...
F telling the other colleagues: Wah dat man ar, so gan chiong you know. He walk so fast to Christine just to ask her what she doing here. Sure got something to hide one lah! F***ing insecure!
Kitty: Ya I thought he going to *click click* me.
F: You still think its funny ar? Lucky you not doing something else.
Kitty: you think I care?
F: Oh ya, I also dont care liao you shldnt be bothered as well.
Kitty *shakes head*: CLICK CLICK!!!


Kitty breaks down at home. Silly girl? ya real silly.
its like i was here for 3.5 yrs & end up being a trust-unworthy person.

we muz really go thru some things to realise that its not simple as it seems. and it doesnt really matter if you can see open anot. some ppl are out there to step on you to make themselves feel great. ppl who act like they noe everything, act like confident. careful.

Day 23 @ Millenia

Kl lady: Are you ready to show me how you do your work?

Kitty (in the midst of doing online revision): Ah? Give me 15 mins, ya?

Kl lady: Alright I'll come to you.

15mins later~~~

Kl lady: Show me how you do this. *points to 1 of the invoices*

Kitty: orh. *walks to photocopy machine, scan the invoices, walks back to workstation*

Kitty: Then the scan will come into your email, hope you already know this. See the attachment? Save it into the common drive and rename it accordingly. We always name it by company 1st, then tax invoice no. xxxx followed by bracketing the date.

Kl lady: omg this is so confusing~ Show me how you do this *points to another invoice*

patient Kitty: orh. *walks to photocopy machine, scan the invoices, walks back to workstation*

Kitty: Then the scan will come into your email, hope you already know this. See the attachment? Save it into the common drive and rename it accordingly. We always name it by company 1st, then tax invoice no. xxxx followed by bracketing the date.

Kl lady: Alright, I know how to do. *continue standing at Kitty's workstation*

Kitty: So you want to go back to your desk and finish the rest of it?

Kl lady: Nooo, I need to do it with your presence. I want to use your computer in case I did anything wrong.

Kitty: Nah its ok you can do it at your desk and I'll check your work before you send out to anybody.

Kl lady: Ok in that case you come over to my desk and see what I did is correct.

Kitty (she's asking me to babysit her?! how ridiculous this shameless woman can get?)

*walks over to her desk, sit down beside her & stares into space*

Kl lady: Is this correct?

Kitty: Ya.

Kl lady: How about this?

Kitty: Yeah.

Kl lady: I think I got it.

Kitty: Um.

Kl lady: So to whom can I email these to?

Kitty: AM, SA & remb to CC our workgroup.

Kl lady: Alright, now you go send an email to those that I'll be taking over your work or they'll be wondering who I am.

Kitty: I dun think its necessary as they are already aware.

Kl lady: No no, its just a message to inform them. Just send it.

Kitty: No I dun think its necessary.

Kl lady: But I cant send these emails if they duno who I am.

Kitty: I'll send these emails for you if you dun want to do it. I'll just inform AM that you're uncomfortable doing it.

Kl lady: Alright I'll send the emails.

Kitty (i allow myself to babysit you doesnt mean dat you can boss me around. pls note that I have already taken 2 steps back)

Not that I'm not willing to train a newbie. But at least she has to learn humbly & demonstrate a certain level of independence. How can I be bothered to teach someone microsoft outlook/word? How many of you out there need 1 person specifically to teach you how to use these basic programs? Don't we all learn it ourselves?

This is a SCAM! They made us, locals, train their KLKs who are computer illiterate, so they could have free training. These computer illiterates r usually higher paid than us n they got employed not because of qualifications but because of colour.

Senior: But I thought the pay is good? Y don’t you stay here while looking for opportunities?
Kitty: Its damn good. But I cant tahan anymore. This place is destroying me. I’m destroying myself. I’m tired.
Senior *with tears in her eyes*: These ppl here r bastards leh…
(ever since she’s transferred to another dept, she’s been suffering everyday. Her direct boss wants her to work like shit. She works on Sat & Sun too.)
