Working with a SCorpion

I really like my job even though it's tough.. Even though I have to work 9 days nonstop and gets an off day only on a Monday. Hmm.. Picked up a lot of useful skills. See myself improving. Pleased..

But But But.. there's this colleague of mine who is really totally out to take advantage of me and sabotage me. I am very frightened..... I fear going to work when I have to try to make sure she doesn't do too much damage to my superiors' impression of me each day.. It's getting worse with each day.. SCarY loh...

She knows I am the kind that seem inconfident and meek. She knows I don't speak up when I get taken advantage of. She knows I am easily bullied. She knows how to pick on my weaknesses to make herself look better.. I tell you..she's a two headed snake. you know two headed snake?

Everytime she offers to help me, she is actually doing me more harm. She offered to help me key in my sales.. Very nice right? Nonono..She went to add her name and credit the sales to her. I sold $400 plus dollars of shirt and pants. She keyed in her name and took half of my sales. And, I was just too astounded and set into depression the entire noon and night. Why did she do that to me? I don't want to report this to the management people. But.. i need to protect myself, cos worse things are happening everyday. I don't want to have a bad relationship with my colleague cos I have to see her and work with her everyday.

She's.... 31 years old. I am turning 23. But both of us are at the same position. Big mouth me to spill my personal details that I am actually a Uni graduate. Nothing big deal to you all, cos most of u pple are Uni grads or better. But, she probably see me as a threat. Honestly, how can I be a threat to her? She's got years of experience that I don't have. I have only 6 days of experience. What's she scared of? Why is she trying to harm me?

JJ gave me a lot of advice during my short 5 days of work. Only 6 days... I don't really want to take all his advice.. but he was right when he told me right at the beginning that people are going to take advantage of me for sure. Bleah.. I don't want to be in a job when I have to be a mean bitch, malicious and unscrupulous. No.. I must deal with this with more level headedness and tact. :(

Working at Suntec. If you been reading, and you can be bothered, you will know where exactly I am working there. Me not pretty lah. But you can come take a look at my ScorpionY colleague. She's like a scorpion --her character. Though, what's the character of a scorpion huh? No, she's a two headed snake. Bad bad me.. I don't want to speak bad about her.. but :( I shall not describe how she looks like, because it will be very obvious who she is..... and it's a really mean thing to describe her too.. CAn complain right? I am not backstabbing righT? I am just lamenting about injustice suffered at work. **WAILS**

***
do you pple know Balaclava? VEry happening drinking place at the entrance of Suntec. Lotsa executive men and women dressed to kill there, people watching and be seen.. The girls there -- standard dressing.. Lotsa make up. Plunging necklines.. show as much boob as there is.. Wear skirts as short as possible. But wow.. yea. I must admit that I am jealous or envious of some of these girls. Cos they look totally babelicious!! If I were a man, I will be totally attracted to these babes. Wish I were as sexy and gorgeous and babelicious as well. But nonono.. I am just this Miss a-little-above-average. Yea.. I want to think myself as being a little above average.

If I were single.. I will definitely go hang out at that Balaclava.. There are even a considerable amount of people there on weekday nights.

Why are my legs so ugly.. Else.. I can wear those sexy short skirts or lovely dresses too.. :( Sick of wearing pants..

****

Will someone please save me from the ordeal of having to protect myself against my colleague all the time?

Today's episode of her shamelessly taking my sales credit kept on recurring in my mind since afternoon.. Terrible injustice.

****

I am compromising my sleep hours to blog... I wonder if anyone reads at all.. Brings me to the question.. Am I writing for people to read? Why do I want people to read my blog?

Should go bathe and sleep........... I wish there is a "favourites section" just like the online diary I used to keep at another website. I can post entries and set it to be read only by certain people on my favourites list. Then, I can reveal more about myself, without having to avoid details so as to avoid possible trouble..

of coz there's people reading...

u can add a referrers list, visible only to u if u set it that way...so u know who pops by.

as for ur lameass colleague...dun tell her too much info bout urself or expose urself in situations whereby she's able to make u look bad infront of others.

there are many people like that out there...no reason, have to make someone else's life difficult...maybe juz to feel good themselves? i don't know lah...juz get urself in sticky situations.

watch wat u say/do always...it's worth the effort/tedious to do so...better than end up shortchanged by a snake.

:P

Yes! There are people reading, including me. The thing is, I'm pretty sure there are many who read but doesn't comment. Yes, I reckon those who blog wants to be read and receive comments from people.

Anyway, I can really understand your sentiment against the colleague but guess you can't do much because you're rather new, eh?
You mentioned about being taken advantage of, but never said anything about being sabo-ed?
