I was late for work today & i was pissed. Not with anyone in particular. I just get very frustrated when i see the time ticking away & there's absolutely nothing i can do about it. I think i'm someone who plans my time well so when the lateless is caused by someone else's bad judgement, it's hard for me to stay calm. But really, it's just being late & not being able to do a damn thing about it that irks me. I'm not blaming anybody this time.
Apart from 1 time when i woke up late, this was my only other time arriving this late for work (i'm talking abt this job la. considering i haven't been working here for that long, it isn't that impressive after all). But anyway, it reminds me of back in the days during my internship.
During that period of time, i had someone practically fetching me to/fro almost everyday. To not sound so spoilt, it was his choice, not mine. To not sound so ungrateful, i truly appreciated the effort bcos i really thought that it was a very sweet thing to do & i never for once took the effort for granted.
BUT
Him being perpetually late in sending me to work really got me frustrated. I would rather wake up 2 hours earlier & take public transport than have someone pick me up late & drive like a maniac all the way, endangering everyone else's lives. Sometimes, it was so late i would have walked all the way out to the main road & taken a cab bcos i couldn't afford to wait anymore. Sometimes when i reach work late, tongues would start wagging & all i can think is 'it wasn't my bloody fault'. Which led me to remembering that i still have stuff with that particular someone.
For months & months & months, he said he would return me my stuff. I started off being very tolerant & lenient. Then i started to get pissed bcos he agreed on a whole load of things but never delivered. What i can't stand is people with a whole lot of talk & no action. It shows he can't be taken seriously & can't be trusted. I even asked him straight if he had any intention of returning the things to me. If not then just let me know & i'll forget it. What i got in return was another load of how busy he was & how he will return it soon. I've tried everything from being nice to being in-your-face & nothing works. So i say shove it bcos by persuing it further will only lower myself to standards i dun even wanna speak about. Anyway i'm moving house soon enuff & if he wakes up & smells the coffee one fine day & decided to drop my stuff into my letterbox, all i can say is - too late.
The office is exceptionally quiet today. Bcos that dumb slut cut her finger yesterday @ work and managed to get 2 days MC... I'm not complaining though. Nobody to piss me off & eat into my lunch hours.
