THE GODAMN E-MAIL
* Decided to change the nickname of nosey senior from Ms Spy to Ms Bold & Underline due to her habit of correcting only the bold and underlining of words when checking my draft and misses the entire picture.
Ms Bold and Underline (Ms B&U): The lawyers had done the due diligence and asked us for these info.
(Shove the 2 long pages of printed e-mail from super boss to me)
(read.. read)
Self: they would have obtained these information when they were doing due diligence there. They say, Tuesday and Wednesday, do secretarial, Thursday and Friday do finance and HR mah. How come they never do their work properly? Pay them a few hundreds of thousands for inefficiency?
Ms B&U: Yeah lah. Then, now we have to forward the e-mail to HR and ask them to provide the info.
Self: Can you please ask your (beloved crony) boss to send this e-mail to you.. then you to me so I can forward the same to HR? (I know this sounds silly but this is the way the goons here do their work. They love bureaucracy and doesn’t understand how the internet works)
*(The words in bracket are silent)
Ms B&U: Aiyah.. Just type lah.
Self: you want me to waste time to type the whole damn e-mail?
Ms B&U: …..
(Shove the e-mail to the clerk)
Self: It is not difficult to fwd the e-mail to HR. just ask the boss to forward to HR lah.
Ms B&U: …..
Both of us went our own ways and do our work…
After making some amendments to Minutes, Returns to be filed with CCM, photocopy certificates and pay slip (for this weekend interview in another public listed firm - not work related)…. And draft a letter to the merchant banker…
Self: where is the e-mail to HR? has the big boss fwd it?
Ms B&U: …
(Looking very frustrated and annoyed.)
Self: ok ok.. gimme the (godamn) hard copy and I will type it.
Ms B&U: ah.. bagi dia itu e-mail. (waving at the clerk)
Self to self: How stupid one can get.
Wasted 15 minutes (I type real fast, you see) typing the godamn e-mail and sent to HR.
