The Part and Parcel of Me..

The bomb exploded

Thursday was the starting of the sparks when during the wee working hours. I got into office, found a mail by the bitch asking me to perform some unit testing on my colleague's code who is on leave that day. So she came up to me while i was composing the mail, giving me the pathetic face, the please face. Apparently i told her off not giving or leaving her any face.

So i said. This CR was initially under your charge, then you move it over to the new person while you guided her. You said you sat beside her for 3 days coaching her and reviewed her codes. So why did the codes slip into a state of no return, till you need extra help to fix the shit you created. I continued to add fire by saying, this CR reuqirements was so much more simplied then the previous gathered. Timeline was still following the old requirements, so apparently, there was more then enough time to complete. What's more is Cin has already coded and unit tested another part of yout CR while she edited the file for her own CR. I don't think the complexity is really that huge to require 3 heads. So i told her, i'll do the unit test, but i will not be fixing the bugs. I'm not the one in charge of the CR so i'm just doing you and giving KL face to perform the unit test. So she got rather piss..by evening, she stepped on the feet of Cin by telling her that her codes were wrong. How more dumb can this get when we told her that, hey..it's your codes which wasn't coded on top of the lastest in source control tool. So more lame reasons came out.

Thursday, Cin complained to KL. Friday morning was my turn. I bombared KL and told KL that i feel like i'm working under an idiot and have to see her face when she tries to push thourgh a idoit idea and when we speak out. So, we had our release meeting on friday at 4 pm when she announced that the code merge deadline has been extended by on more day. When't the actual deadline? Friday itself. So after the meeting, KL dropped me an email and asked if i got anything to say after the meeting. I said, time line not being respected once agian. Ppl worked so hard and stayed late to finish up code merge on thurs because so bloody bitch emphasize that timeline can't slip..must swing into unit test on monday. Then at 4 pm say time line extended. So i said, its almost end of friday, it's another brainless move cos most of our things are done. Then i learned from Cin that the bitch hasn't completed her yet.

So, to put it in a nut shell, only when she can't complete her task then the timeline is being extended to her benefit. So for the rest of us, we just have to try to push through to whatever timeline that she had fix. Since she emphasize so much on timeline, so i just shoot her back during the meeting to force code merge unit test back to monday. Good thing everyone else is done with the merge. She must be damm du lan with me. But she don't have a choice. She stepped on my tail so she's gonna suffer if one small mistake is made. I made my point very clear to KL when KL said that he will try to put me under MK not round but he said the decision still lies with boss. So i told KL..I don't have a choice to who i have to work with. But i do have a choice to decide if i want to work with the person and the environment.

When was the last time?

So when was the last time i blog in here? Been ages. Time ticks away so fast. Everday seems to pass without me even knowing. I've been so so caught up with work till i don't recall when was the last time i had time to do my own stuffs. Do i really have to work so hard? Actually i'm not too certain myself.

Office politics is catching up. I'm trying hard not to be within the circle of the talking point. Boot licking, adding curry powder, chillie powder, or watever sort of powder. Just makes me feel so digusted. Just feel like going up to the bitch and say. Why not just sleep with the boss and you will bound to have a triple promotion and you won't have to be mixing with us.

Good thing the CR team stands strong with support from the rest of the other releases team. Having 2 members like Cin and Me really is a pain the ass for that bitch. Logically speaking that bitch shouldn't be leading cos she has a whole lot to learn before taking on this role.

Lousy suggestion that screwed her upside down inside out by cin and me. Not once not twice but so many time. It's rather fun to play along to see her back support unable to protect her cos her suggestions were ultra dumb. Her timeline got critised by me in front of the team lead. She tried to eat me and cin but she gave up cos we were both more experience then her in terms of working experience.

So here comes the newly fresh out of the oven ppl. The fresh grad. So her target changed cos she can't do anything more to us cos all her plans always keep back fire. So now the new ppl are taking her nonsense, getting bullied by her. But too bad, too many pairs of eyes are eyeing on her. So she allocated half the work load to herself and the remaining half to the 5 of us. Thinking that she will be gaining all the credit for being so capable, her plans backfired during the meeting whe her enemy pointed out that all her files do not require any merge. Just need to check into the source control tool. So there goes her credit infront of th team lead.

The show just gets better each day. Having someone trying to lead with no one standing at her end is as good as not leading. So efforts were made into trying to improve relationship by her. But too bad, her enemies decide to play by strategy. How more thick skin can one get when one just tags along without any invitation to lunch or breakfast. Thick skin thats how her enemy puts it.

It got so bad till i feel like i'm right now back into primary school when you have a whole gang not wanting to fren you and no one likes you. Then during recess time, the gang tries to move out fast without you knowing cos they don't want you to tag along. Childish right? But what to do.

MK and KL will be going over to Sydney the following week. Poor me in SG going to be assisting KL cos i'm the config BAU gal! So when the sydney team says, let the ST team decide on the timeline. So proud to say, i'm the only one in the team! Funny isn't it. It's ultra tiring to teach a bunch of non IT ppl how to do config changes. Oh..config changes here means changing the prices in the Database for their marketing promotions. So i hosted a series of trainings with KL to teach the aussie ppl. I came up with incredible quiz to test how much they have absorbed in class. Ha ha..

Now i'm sleepy. Going to Zzzz. Intresting to be seeing office politics and to be the spoiler of others plan. But well, it's not delibrate. It's just voicing out.
