Wondering

Last week someone shared a message about marriage, which reminded me even non-Christians can be happily married together. I forgot about it, and yes in fact there are Christians who ended up divorced as well.

With the thought in mind, and for the past weeks I'm undergoing through another transition at work. The new employee came in this month, and since then we are assigned to work closely with each other. At first, my feeling is that she's quite easy going since she's polite and friendly. I am now on my own at work for about 11 days by now, and I'd say...she just gets on my nerve sometimes!! The truth is I've been extremely busy at work, and now I get off around 6:30 an hour later than before. There are more things to consider now than comparing to before where I didn't have to worry too much since my manager will be there to handle the complicated situation. I'm covering her part, which are the complicated cases that she used to take care. Now, her complicated client profiles were transferred to me, which means I have to spend extra time understanding the previous correspondences. Moreover, let's not forget about there're always new projects coming in at the same time. As I'm adjusting the new work load, I also need to look after the new co-worker. Despite the fact, she gets on my nerve sometimes, her English is pretty good since she's been to England only for a year for Master.

How she gets on my nerve?
Oh..hum..minor things like I remembered the first day I switched seat to where my manager used to sit, which is right between her and my other co-worker Fiona. That way I think it'll be easier to talk to both of them at the same time. While we both are switching and moving our work stuff belongings, and cleaning at the same time. Suddenly, I heard she saying "..I'm impressed," and I just kept thinking it's such an inappropriate expression so decided to ask her what did she mean? Then her explanation was.."oh it's a compliment." I dunno ....it just totally blows me off, I really don't think it sounds like a compliment. I assume it sounds more like, Oh wow..I didn't think you can do cleaning since she mentioned I'm so fashion ..etc. I guess on that day, she realized I'm not the kind of stereotypical girl that she thought I was.

Many times while talking to her, she would have this 'special look' on her face like she's saying "are you sure you're teaching me the right thing? Do you really know what you're saying?" Certainly, it's like having a face of doubt like 'what'!? ~
I know that I'm 2 years younger than her, but 1 thing for sure is that I'm definitely more experienced than her in business industry. She may be very professional in education, but these two fields are completely different. I don't mean that she needs to obey to everything I say, because I'm still in the process of learning as well. However, I'm expecting more respect from her rather than this kind of attitude. Last week, I was pretty stressful working with her since she's pretty subjective and tend to rely on her own past experiences when dealing with new things instead of asking or being sensitive enough to sense and adapt the company local culture. Thus, my other co-workers are not very happy about her as well. I just hope that she'll become more comfortable in this company and get along well with all of us.



To be Con'd ......
Divorced? wow~
