			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-267" title="24sep08-check" src="http://lifeisbutasojourn.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/24sep08-check.jpg?w=497&#038;h=372" alt="" width="497" height="372" /></p>
<p>Tadaa!!~ I&#8217;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! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I have no intention to share about me being nominated for the BEOTM with my colleagues, in case those sensitive ones think I&#8217;m boastful. But it just happened that my boss passed this cheque to me at my desk and &#8217;Z' learnt about it. She congratulated to me and said I deserved this reward. I was like &#8221;Ehh.. okay.. thanks.&#8221; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif' alt=':roll:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Then later before she left for the day, she jokingly told me to go back early, don&#8217;t stay late for work, don&#8217;t fight for the next BEOTM with &#8216;V&#8217; as the both of us always stay late for work and give &#8216;V&#8217; the chance to be the next BEOTM. I replied to her that staying late for work doesn&#8217;t mean you are the best but the quality of the work that counts. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif' alt=':-?' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t fancy her joke at all. Although she said &#8220;just joking lah&#8221;&#8230; but it sounds like euphemism. And passing such &#8220;kidding&#8221; remarks is not her first time. I&#8217;m so sick of entertaining her. I don&#8217;t want to be rude and hope she can totally stop talking to me.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The coming Monday I will be doing my yearly appraisal with my boss. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s in store for me but I hope good news coming to my way!!! Keeping my fingers crossed on this! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
