My Colleagues

First of all, sorry ah guys if this post is really long. I was advised to split it up in to pieces cos it's just too long and I can't possibly type everything that I have to say all in one post as it will take forever. So I'm posting this part first. Please be understanding ah if some of the things I have said here is a bit old. I just thought that I'd make this blog a tad more interesting (that's an understatement, I'm being humble here okay) by posting some of my personal thoughts. Really, they(my thoughts) are interesting. And what better way to so than by posting it on this blog (afterall, our Friday nights have become "playtime" as one of my colleagues said). Today, I'll be talking about my work colleagues from MPH. As some of you aren't fully aware of, I have submitted my resignation letter and am no longer working for MPH. Working at MPH was ceratainly different experience though I honestly feel that it wasn't that big of a change in my life. I was afterall only working at an entry-level position which didn't require specialised skills. Anyway, I won't be writing about my experience being a full time worker today. Rather, I'll be talking about the people that have made my experience at MPH.....well.....interesting. One of the best things which I have gained through woking with MPH was the oppurtunity to meet people who were from different backgrounds from the usual sort of people that I'm normally with. It was eye-opening at times.



I'll start with the original 10 entry-level employees that the bosses at MPH hired. To further make it easier and interesting for all you readers out there, I'll list them down in the order that they left (or eliminated in some cases, hheehehehehe, reality TV= entertainment):



1) Elayne. The first time that I met her, I thought she looked kinda funny. Maybe it's just me being mean or passing superficial judgement but I thought she looked like a doughnut (the ball type) skewed by a stick. Yes, funny but true. This was the shape of her body. I sometimes subconsciously calle her doughnut. But seriouslylah, she did remind me of the doughnut on a skewer. I know, I know, I'm mean (I can so see Aldrin reminding me of this). Anyway, going beyond looks, Elayne was well............. no a very good worker because of her attitude. I first got to know her when we went for a short trainning seminar at the Harbour View Hotel. She sat next to me and she seemed at first that she wanted to get close to me(not in the romantic type of way Alvin). I could sense a bad vibe coming from her. I don't know, there just seemed to be something wrong with her. Elayne was the same age as me and she was from St. Joe(she had just finished her form 6 and was waiting for her results).



Soon, after we started working (when MPH opened) my other colleagues began talking about her not wanting to work very long(there was a rumour that she wanted to leave immediately after she had gotten her results) for MPH and they began to question this as they felt dissatisfied with her. Maybe they were just unhappy with the way she so proudly told everyone this. Anyway, Elayne seemed to be a decent worker at first albeit a lazy one. Please take note that almost everyone is lazy at MPH so I'm using the word lazy with caution. She usually finds some way of parking her big fat ass at the customer serivce counter(CSD) despite not having any important work to do. If the CSD's full she'll get on 1 of the tiny stools for little children, park her ass on it and act like she's arranging books. Often, she'll take a hell lot more of time than actually required. I usually see her reading some children's book, the ones with load of pictures and I just imagine a doughnut mascot reading(hehehehe, I'm mean). Oneday, a problem began to brew at the CSD. This happened when Elayne became increasingly involved with CSD work. We began seeing some shortages of money at the CSD. Kim and I became incresingly suspicious of Elayne and we wanted her as far away as possible from them CSD for fear that she was pocketing some money. I didn't do anything to oust her but Kim did. She tried giving instructions to her to follow. Eventually, she got the message. We also noticed some problems with the MPH member forms and often it was imcomplete due to Elayne's constant disregard for following standard procedures. Anyway, we didn't have any evidence to prove her guilt which leaves her innocent I guess. However, she did try to steal a book that she ordered for herself but was caught by our boss. I'm not sure how she settled that but I do know that she didn't buy another book that she oredered for herself which was irresponsible and abusive.



Elayne also had another problem, she repeatedly skipped work espescially during weekends. She used to try to change shifts with people to get her own way. But after a while, she just found it to tough and just skipped work as she pleased. This happened probably about 7 times during her course at MPH. She was also lectured behind closed doors several times, thrice if I'm not mistaken. However, nothing work, she kept being her same old lazy self. Oh yeah, one more thing, the reason she used to skip work on weekends was because she was out clubbing and got so drunk that she passed out. She's a party person. Besides, another colleague of mine told me that she stayed at their place for 2 months but didn't pay rent which lead to her expulsion from their house. Anyway, Elayne got the message, everyone hated her for her selfish behaviour and we wanted her out especially Mr. George who had to scold her and treat her in a cold way to get rid of her. She turned in resigned(well, eliminated) and was gone by the second week of May.
