My colleague is going to Japan in May. She'll be taking the midnight flight back on a thursday.
To save on cab fare, she was thinking of not going home but instead, camp somewhere after touching down.
My other colleague suggested, ''hey why not let's all camp in the office! Then we can watch movie!''
But I don't feel like camping in the office on a thurday. I mean, look, I am stuck in the office 9 hours a day, 5 days week, sometimes even more. I sure don't think I miss the office that much.
Then I think the colleague who is going to Japan was in a random conversation with boss on this topic. And guess what. The boss actually came over and said,''I heard you are not going to join your gang. Why? Camp over in the office la. Do you know that (the colleague) is arriving at midnight and her boyfriend is not going to fetch her back? Accompany her la."
I know those two colleagues are boss's favourites, and I know it may be a small issue, but I find it somewhat unsettling that boss wants ME to accomodate the wants of HIS favourites. Firstly, the next day is going to be a full working day, and it's not like I will confirm get the 'more relaxing' assignments like the colleague going overseas. I will confirm KO the next day if I were to camp overnight. Secondly, there isn't even a shower facility in the toliet. Do u expect me to work, sleep and work in the same clothes for 2 days?
Oh boy. Sometimes I can't stand the way boss thinks and behave. Much less talk about bringing myself to entertain him and make myself one of his "favourites".Labels: Work
