A "Merry" Christmas

I guess everyone is happy because it is Christmas.

I went to Singapore for Christmas this year, Orchard road was fill with lights and people were all around, crowding the street for the Christmas countdown. I was one of those few who were being sandwich in between human sweat and fragrant odors. And not to say, those Foam bubble cans which causes a foam bubble attacks where we can purchase 6 for S$ 10.

But it was fun...

Until reality strikes when I came back to work on the 27th Dec. Apparently I was being called into the HR office for a talking session. Those talking session can really be scary.

I was being told that my leave wasn't approve, and the whole issue about must have black and white approval, just telling my boss I am taking leave is not enough. And because of that I got a warning letter.

A warning LETTER??!!!

For something that could have been solve easily? I inform my superior 2 weeks ago and then a week before my leave my boss says that he wants to think about it, I mean what is there to think about? Just sign that bloody leave form. But no...

He had to wait till the very last day, when all is being planned and done, all my stuff is booked. And he comes telling me he can't approve my leave. Ok fine, I explain properly and say that I have to go as things are already planned. He ignores me and totally didn't bother, and still trying to get my colleague to ask me to work.

So after bursting my tempers the whole day, I call him at night (I was quite ok by then) to inquire about my leave, he says since you booked everything already then go ahead. So fine. He say it so I went.

And now things has turned this way??!!

I now have a warning letter and 2 days unpaid leave. Gee thanks!

Merry Christmas to you.
