Cool Day turned HOT

You see… it was another nice and pleasant day today…
The weather was not bad, and he sent me to work… nice and relaxing, and most of the urgent stuff in my work, I’ve settled it, plus covering up the loopholes here and there during my absence day…
Maybe most of the people do not know what I’ve to do…
mm… well… the daily routine costing and pricing, was well taken cared off while I was not around in the office… for the past 2 months…
but I’ve to catch up with the funnels, account planning, training, marketing plan and so on…
no no no… I’m not that busy… in fact… ^_^ (well… I’d rather be “damn free” and yet achieve what I’ve to do in my work, compared to “damn busy”, and achieve the same thing… that’s the difference between “gifted”, and “hardworking”… and of course, in actual fact, I’m neither one of these 2… just simply surviving)

anyway, my biggest worry is, the numbers that I can achieve, or the company can achieve for the remaining 6 months in this calendar year…
so, if any of you is reading… please give me your suggestion, what’s the best way to have $$ in short time frame for an SI company ^_^ for the brands that I’ve alliance with…???
If it’s possible, I wish I can force entry to the enduser environment, install the software and hopefully they’ll get addicted to it, and convert this POC to sales… that’s what I intend to do, but we’ve gotta pick customers wisely… ^_^;;

Anyway… why my cool day turned hot??
It’s because I found out an additional ugly “thread” about the 2-face peer… (now, I’m yet to decide to call her to-be-boss, or 2-face..)
Well… yesterday, she passed me this question posted by my other colleague, by forwarding it to me, conveniently, and expect me to respond, since I’ve said I do not want to work with her... ok, I take it, and I answered it, without notifying her anymore… it’s about software license…
However, in order to have some confirmation, after I responded to the email… I further confirm it with our business partner…
Since the person I ask was busy in the meeting, that’s how he answered me, “I’ve explained to her already, ask her!!”
The first feeling was – I felt rejected… by this person I asked… but usually that’s the way he talks, being a technical folk… usually they’re not a very sociable person…
Then… when I rethink the whole situation, I got stirred up a bit... (damn all my coolness gone away!!! THAT’S WHY, I GLAD THAT I SPEAK AND STAND UP FOR MYSELF, as if any of us still have to continue to put up with BULLY as such in the workplace… @%$#%##%%@%)
See… 2-face already knew the answer, but kept quiet,
While she conveniently passed the query to me, she DIDN”T say anything…
Anyway, that’s the standard and usual way she treats her peers… I’ll rest the case… just again, that shows how much her personality is worth…

When I mentioned this to him, he said, “the behaviour is just like a mouse”… well… sorry to the mouse, I don’t intend to insult you guys… (at least, mice in cartoon are quite cute)
And that’s the very our new colleague decided to leave, 1 week after joining the company, cos, she was constantly being treated in this manner…

Afterall… I’ve to maintain my coolness…
Else, that defeats the purpose, why I stood up and spoke for myself… it’s because, I do not want to allow myself to be further contaminated by this type of petty and evil spirit… as… one of my biggest weakness, is basically what I’m facing today, I do not know how to live like a 2-face person… I do not know how to smile and behave like friends to people I despise and dislike… since the day I was born… in my world, all this while, irregardless how difficult or how irritating a person is… they have 1 face only…
Sometimes, I’ve to deal with difficult co-workers, or partners in my work, however, irregardless how difficult they are… I have this believe, usually I give them my full sincerity, in Chinese words, I give them my ‘all my heart’… some extra effort, or do extra work… to let them feel that, you do care… not personal, but work… and it works… well… I believe nothing beats a truthful character, I don’t have to act, I don’t have to pretend, and I don’t have to have more than 1 face… if I do not know, I ask, if I know, I share… simple… (like Denny Crane said, “I’m simple person” ^_^V) cos, I know that I’m not smart enough to have funny plots, to plot against your peers in order to outshine yourself… I don’t do plots…, if I were to spend my energy and time, I’d rather spend on how to win a deal… that’s all, and it’s that simple…
HOWEVER, to this 2-face, it doesn’t work… cos, the fundamental reason is, 2-face does not have heart, or does not believe in working with all your heart… so, basically we’ve disagreed with each other’s style since day 1!!

Adios!!

(however, if any of you who’re reading this, have good suggestion on how to deal with 2-face people, your advice is very much welcomed!! Or, just pray that, you don’t bump into this type of personality in your life… it sucks!!)
