Nevertheless, the meeting before lunch went well and CL invited me to join them for lunch... Lunch was fun because I was there to lighten up the mood and to regulate the dry, serious topic with interesting and animated content. I did not managed to do much work today because we had to rush off to TTSH for another meeting.
The meeting went smoothly except for a tiny hiccup and it ended before 5.30pm. I can go home early, yeah!
When I checked the handphone, I saw CL's sms to tell me to call him when the meeting was over. For the first time, my boss smsed me to call him back - that must mean something really urgent happened.
Guess what?
He said Betty (who is heading one of the department under Zenon) called him to say that I had missed out a lecturer's address and they could not send out the contract to him in time. I thought WHAT THE FUCK! On Monday, I called Mavis (who is under Betty) and asked her why there is a missing contract. She said she did not know that there was a contract to be sent to Hong Kong and she had overlooked it. She had assumed that all contracts are Singapore-based and could have probably sent it out as a local mail. Fine! Very good... quickly, we decided to courier the contract over to the lecturer and I even wrote the email to apologise to the lecturer.
Now her boss turned the table around and said that I WAS THE ONE WHO MISSED OUT THE HONG KONG LECTURER.
Excellent job!
Your department screwed up my contracts and you accused me of not giving you adequate information? You are the best liar in the whole world.
CL said he did not believe Betty and asked me if I want to call her then or confront her tomorrow. "Tomorrow, cos I have no mood to talk to her now." I was that pissed off!
From Novena to Paya Lebar to my home, my heart never weighed so heavy. First, you want to take away what I had done and expects me to welcome your administration support with grace. When I handed over the job to you, you messed up the sequence and pulled me down into water, expecting me to drown with you. All the way home, I was praying to God to help me find the email which I had sent to Betty's boss to tell him to follow up. I know I did not make that silly mistake but I need BLACK AND WHITE evidence to redeem myself.
I am an easy-going person but I don't like when people accuse me of not doing my work well when obviously the person who screwed the process is not me. So, don't step on my tail.
I thank God that I found the email in my 'sent' box. I forwarded the email to CL and said I want to sue someone for defamation and asked if he wanted to chip in. In the email, I had clearly highlighted to Betty's boss that there was a HK address and there were two vacant slots.
Your honour, I rest my case.
The best part is, CL and Chay had confirmed that they will chip in money!!! Haha... The terrific part is, CL forwarded the email to Betty with cc to Provost and slapped her back in the face that she had not gotten her facts right and had wrongly accused Yours Sincerely. He expects disciplinary action to be taken and if she is unhappy, she is always welcome to come to his office tomorrow.
She won't come, I can bet till my last cent.
Cos she tried too hard to want to cover up her own ass and to think, I had treated her like a friend.
This is a scary place...
DON'T EVER DELETE ANY EMAILS.
