I used to be flaky.
When I was just starting out in the 9-5 working girl world, I used to take a lot of sick leaves, on most occasion, is not that I was really sick… but I just felt like… ‘getting sick’.
Having a dumb boss didn’t make the situation any better too. Just the thought of sitting through one of her meetings with her inaudible English makes me want to just drop and faint.
High blood pressure.
I didn’t know what I was thinking, of course. I always used the whole ‘I am young and too dumb to know better’ excuse. After all, what is ‘youth’ without the occasional ‘foolishness’ and a sprinkle of ‘ignorance’?->which is really just pure bliss.
I have been working my ass for close to 10 years, building my resume and my credibility and now, like how I said in one of my previous posts, I am extremely defensive about my career. Furthermore when I am after all, alone and fully dependent on myself, my career is the only good thing I have going for me.
Men comes and goes, love appears and diminishes, but credibility… now that is indispensable.
So now, I have to deal with high turnovers, absenteeism, suspicious sick leaves and such. Thankfully, I have a couple of ladies I could trust at least in terms of attendance. Two extremely awesome ladies, and one awesome-er lady because she also doubles up as my best pal in the department.
Now I get to experience what my ex bosses feel when I was on my so called ‘sick leave’
Well, what goes around truly does come around.
10 years later, I have diligently come in to work even when I was sick.I have become one of the employees with too many sick leaves left unclaimed for the year… kira burn la RM300 over worth of benefits.
Aging has that effect on people. They somehow become more... responsible... and less carefree...
And really on a totally unrelated note, why is it that guys love to use the phrase;
"I don’t understand why you are not seeing someone, you are cool and you are attractive, I … I … just don’t understand."
Yeah… you… you… were just trying to get into my pants because of my big fat booty right?
On another totally, totally unrelated incident; saw a porn starring big assed mamas… OH MY GOD… I am positively ass-ified! I am talking about BIG ASSED MAMAS!
*Interesting though...*
Hmm... What is a nice girl like you having so many negative people in your life? I'm not saying being single is bad, but all this negativity is not healthy me thinks. (Negativity in the sense like bad dates, lousy friends, etc.. not state of mind)
