i don't know, but after watching Pursuit of Happyness, i'm having this idea of not to socialise too much with office-mates. i don't know why. perhaps after what happened in the office made me realised, i'm better off with only having professional working relationship with them? i donno. i'm afraid that should we became close, it might cloud our eh silap, my judgment towards them. i'm the type that will do anything for a friend. and yes, you might see me as someone who doesn't care much with what other people say, but i'm easily affected with how people see me. and i guess it's affecting my emotional stability as well rationale thinking.
i love having different sets of friends. it's like going to different masquerade parties. in that party i might be wearing this mask, and at another party i'll be wearing different mask. nevertheless, i always maintain some standardisation throughout the parties. i'll be as open as possible. and i'll be as friendly as possible.
and now, i'm wearing this "i'm an anti-social wannabe" mask. as much as i want to integrate with the society, there's just too many things running in my head and in my plate, that i just can't cope with additional things here and there.
the next time you see me walking all alone, sitting there all by myself, or don't speak much when we're out together. please oh please. engage me. start a conversation with me. for i love being an attentive listener, as that is what i do best.
i need someone who will brighten up my day, ASAP. all this work thingy is making me depressed. aaaaaa. as was pointed out by Ms Stalker, "muka you nampak penat je. bnyk sgt ke keja u?"
*sigh* another depressed entry. Spongebob is NOT helping ke?

i'm in professional-relationship with my office mate (my superior and subordinate). i used to involved with them in personal matters but not everybody love to see you happy. so, some rumors flying in to them about i badmouth about them behind their back. they took it without any doubt.
after that relationship become disastrous and they even stop talking with me for a month. i feel like social outcast. after few weeks to rejuvenate the relationship, i clearly know that office relationship should stay professional cause things will get complicated one way or another. it's hard to connect with people whom you work with. in my case, those people are my subordinate which will get sour if i judge them harshly in their PPA. not that i'm harsh but when you're too buddy-buddy, it's hard to be honest really. you will still have gap cause of your relationship and PPA make it worse cause Asian view PPA as damaging to current relationship instead of taking it as way to make yourself better.
so, i just keep it professional and work related only. if anything personal, it's only involved my leave which sometimes justify my leave to my superior. anything more, i keep it to myself.
perhaps donald trump is right; it's nothing personal, it's just business.
i always believe that there are certain limits when it comes to office relationships.
yet i still find myself hanging out with some co-workers even after office hours.
bleh.
Yup, office relationships can be kinda tricky. The trick is to disclose enough to establish rapport while keeping sensitive info under wraps. Cheer up, bro. It'll be ok..
