I think some of my colleagues are afraid of me. Either that or they dun like me.
Because whenever they see me approaching them, they know it surely won't be something good. But then if it's something not bad why would I approach them anyway haha.
Mr Long Legs will give an apprehensive look when he sees me coming towards him. If I tell him I'm not looking for him, he will look relieved and laugh. If I give him the follow-up form, he will give the "hai I resign to my fate"look.
I gave him another form just 30mins before knock-off time and he asked hopefully, "This will be the last one right?"
The person who is taking care of us temps is coming back tomorrow. L.L says he can't wait for him to come back cos that will be a 解放 for him.
This another colleague asked if he can pretend not to know me when I got him to help me attend to this customer. Cos this customer has many glorious records on his database. Haha. I told him I will treat him to a drink. L.L overheard and asked why I didn't offer to treat him one.
Darryl saw me smiling sheepishly at him and knew immediately he had to help me. And I owe him a lunch. He keeps nagging about it.
Only Mr Nice and Friendly guy didn't complain.
But I improved so much already! I ask for help less often now you know! Sigh. I dun like to keep asking them as well, it's as if I'm giving them a burden. But I can't help it if I keep getting weird calls right?
I can't help it when a customer demanded that a technician attend to him immediately since he couldn't wait for a mere 15 mins because he was sick and ate medicine that made him drowsy he needed to sleep within a short period of 15 mins.
I can't help it when a customer couldn't surf wireless and forgot to tell me that he applied for wireless through his mobile line. How I know you can apply for wireless through a stupid mobile line?
I can't help it when a customer called in to ask about some dunno what business phone line thingy which she hopes to be connected from some cable from dunno where. Even L.L has never heard of this before.
I can't help it when some stupid people called the wrong department and stupidly thought that the fault lies in me cos I dun understand what she said. Hello her accent is so strong can! Plus I dunno so many technical terms in Chinese. Try telling me what is GPRS in Chinese. Twice she called the wrong dept, twice I received her calls, twice I transferred her calls. I dunno if she can't understand the instructions by the voice message or what.
The problem simply lies in the fact that customers assume we are some psychic geniuses who can read their minds, know every minute detail without even probing them and solve all their problems in a nanosecond. They seem to forget we're only mere mortals.
Sigh. Today I was typing away on the keyboard when I suddenly felt very sick. Sick as in sick of what I'm doing. I felt like quitting. The only thing on my mind today was my very precious off day on Friday.
But I just attribute it to PMS. Hopefully the big M doesn't come during CNY...as much as red is a heng heng colour lol.
I will ask if my changing of shifts is successful tomorrow. And I must remember to treat my colleague to a drink. Plus the lunch.
I dun want my results to come out before CNY leh. I dun think I can stand relatives asking me how are my results when I visit them. Maybe I should work during that 3 days. Sigh.
