Life Is But A Sojourn

Euphemism or Joke?
Tadaa!!~ I’m the Best Employee of the Month of August (BEOTM)! I want to thank to my dear boss Esther who nominated me! The reward is a cash cheque of $200!!! So happy happy! 
I have no intention to share about me being nominated for the BEOTM with my colleagues, in case those sensitive ones think I’m boastful. But it just happened that my boss passed this cheque to me at my desk and ’Z' learnt about it. She congratulated to me and said I deserved this reward. I was like ”Ehh.. okay.. thanks.” 
Then later before she left for the day, she jokingly told me to go back early, don’t stay late for work, don’t fight for the next BEOTM with ‘V’ as the both of us always stay late for work and give ‘V’ the chance to be the next BEOTM. I replied to her that staying late for work doesn’t mean you are the best but the quality of the work that counts. 
I really don’t fancy her joke at all. Although she said “just joking lah”… but it sounds like euphemism. And passing such “kidding” remarks is not her first time. I’m so sick of entertaining her. I don’t want to be rude and hope she can totally stop talking to me.
I miss the previous team where Val and Harriet was around. We worked in peace and no politics. Sighs. Ever since the new blood joined, so many things happened. Shitty.
The coming Monday I will be doing my yearly appraisal with my boss. I don’t know what’s in store for me but I hope good news coming to my way!!! Keeping my fingers crossed on this! 
I lost it.
Sometime back on 5 Sept during my best friend’s wedding, I lost my precious watch while helping out at the reception. It was a very stupid thing to happen as I found out my watch has stopped and so I took it off. I thought I have placed it into my bag but I didn’t. It must have slipped and fell onto the floor. 
It was a Esprit Houston watch and a xmas gift from my hubby. I will never ever find it back again. :cry:
Let bygones be bygones
Lately, I am so goddamn busy with my work and stayed late in the office almost everyday just to clear my things. Shitty! But I love my job and I don’t mind to slog myself because I have a good boss and colleagues to work with.
For those who know me, I loathe stupid people doing stupid things. And dealing with it makes me look stupid too. Arghh!!! *pissed*
Few days back, one of my colleague pissed me off…… till now I’m still quite fuming mad! I feel so wronged!
In short, the story goes:
One fine day, ‘Z’ was on medical leave. Then I received a sms from her. I was so shocked as her message expressed resentment about me! Because ‘X’ smsed her to ask if she feeling okay to complete her things before the deadline and ’X’ mentioned my name when asking about her work. She felt insulted as if we doubt her capability or as if she cannot perform at work.
OMFG!!! She was overreacting!!! 
Though her work is none of our fucking business, but ‘X’ is only trying to be kind to check whether she’s able to cope since she was sick and the deadline was on the next day. And she misunderstood us for being nosey?!
And for fuck’s sake, I didn’t even ask ‘X’ to message her and I was dragged into this stupid shit! Damn!!
And for your kind info, she work with us for barely 3 months. Hello? She’s new, okay?
If you are steady and know what you are doing, why mind if others asked about your work? Only when you feel uncertain and insecure, then you will feel threaten.
Even though she has apologised but the damage is permanent. Since she is so hard to deal, then please don’t blame us for not helping her. Never ever gonna help her again!
