Being "made use' of

I am feeling moody today.

Actually it did not started today.  It was a few days back.

My so called friend was not in a good mood.  She told me about what happened at work and I sort of 'sympathize' with her.

She was very unhappy as well as 'depressed'.

The next day, I asked her how things are. She was still 'mulling' over that same matter but I felt that she just overstate the matter.

At end of that day, I whatsapp her to say 'good night'.  She didn't reply me. I knew she read my message.  Maybe she was upset with me also. 

I told myself that I will not say 'good night' to her again though when she was in good mood she will always say 'good night' to me.

Yesterday my another group of friends were asking whether want to go for a short trip in the next 1-2 months.

One of them replied that they sort of have a plan to go to country 'M' for 2 nights and whatsapp to ask who is interested.

Very soon, already 4 of them were interested and 2 of us have not replied. I was half hearted, not sure want to join them or not.

This morning the 5th person replied to say unable to join as have something on.

I then replied to say I am not joining. No one tries to persuade me to go.  Sigh.

They already have 4 paxs - 2 sharing a room - just nice - 2 rooms - 4 paxs.

If I join in, it will be an odd number.

I felt sort of disappointed in this group of friends.  Previously when they go tour, and short of one pax, they will ask me to 'chip in'. Now they have 4 of them to make 2 pairs  and thats it.
Can't even bother to ask me why not joining them.....siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

I realised that maybe I am just their 'spare tyre' or rather 'spare kaki'....so sad...:(

Was I being 'made use' of ??  Sounds pathetic right?

Maybe I am just 'too sensitive'.

Anyway I have been thinking of 'withdrawing' from their 'tour group'.

Previously when I joined them for free and easy tour or packaged tour, our so-called 'team leader' will pair me with the most 'lo so' person to share room.  When we went out, the 'team leader' is always in 'a rush' - walking so far ahead of us and will hardly take cab and will always walk to our destinations or take bus/mrt.

I can say that out of the many of us, the 'team leader' is the richest of all !

I just feel that when we go tour, we should just enjoy ourselves - don't bother about money. If we have money to travel, we should also have money to buy nice food there and eat and take cabs as at least 3-4 of us will be sharing the cab fares.

Aiyah, its just as well....at least this time round I can have some 'peaceful' time to me alone.

Happenings in the office

This week has been an eventful week.

Have received some bad feedback from the staff yesterday.  Thought I have been doing my best and worked hard enough and who knows I got to get all these 'nonsense'.

Was quite upset when I heard about the feedback. 

Come to think about it, my documentations has some 'loop-holes'.  Will have to improve on that.

It seems that bad things do come all at one go.

Have encountered another work problem.  Have ordered some stuff for the office last week.  This is to replenish the stock. The staff there said will deliver the stock sometime middle of this week.

Just realised today is the last working day of the week and there is no sight of any delivery.

Called up the company and found out that my order was somehow not registered.  Asked this staff who took my call to help expedite the delivery and somehow the delivery was arranged for this late afternoon. 

This 'out of stock' issue had caused some 'hoo-ha's' and I was almost at a loss on how to handle it.

My colleague had offered to help to talk to the supplier earlier on but I somehow rejected as its my responsibility to solve this issue.

She said I should be firm and trying to tell me how I should handle this kind of situation.  I know that I am just too soft hearted sometimes or maybe most of the times.  I am not as firm as her but I shall improve on this. Of course she is so much vocal than me.

Thank God with the help of the staff of the supplier, things got settled down.

At end of work day, the staff are wishing each other Happy New Year.  My colleague had wished me some nice greetings.  Not only to me, she wished almost all staff she knows.

I do not why when one of the staff was wishing her and they both were exchanging wishes and tapping on each other shoulders - I stood opposite them and keep looking at them.  I should not have done that but somehow I only realised it  until the happenings ended.

The staff whom I also know her did not wish me when walking out of the office but I took the initiatives and wished her instead.

What's wrong with me huh ? I felt like I am a 'goon goon' watching them exchanged wishes.

My this colleague is very friendly to her superiors and almost all the staff in the office. 

Some people thought we are good friends but I myself am not sure about this.  As I have mentioned she is friendly towards anyone in the office.

Sigh I do not think I can be as friendly as her.  I have a 'fierce' look though.
