Those were my parting words to an old friend last night. It seems to be the right words to say to her at that moment, since she was the type that likes to dwell on her bad past. However, I find it hard to do the same, trying to think positive thoughts, when thinking about the near future that lies in front of me.
Received a rather shocking news at work yesterday. I was to be transferred to another part of the department by early next month. Uncle Dan had instructed the transfer. And, since he is the BIG man, whatever he says goes.
It's not that I don't want to be transferred to a new place, doing and learning new things and exploring the other many aspects of the accounting world. It was just that the mere thought of working directly under the Group Chief Accountant a.k.a Aunty Beast had given me goosebumps the whole day.
The tales that I've heard from the people around me makes me dread my move there. One girl actually quit after working under Aunty for a few months. Another girl tendered her resignation, for the same reasons, but were asked to re-tracked it and were transferred elsewhere in the Group. The girl, whose place that I was going to replace, once fainted in the washroom due to fatigue and work pressure. Hence, tell me how am I suppose to think of positive thoughts when all the stories that I've heard about the past executives are all terrifying tales?
One can only pray and hope that God will softened the heart of the Beast. My aunt actually gave me a phrase from the Quran that when recited will cause the person you are dealing with to mellow down or not be as tough on you. My only hope is that she won't scream at me as hard as she screamed at the 9 year old son, when he only scored 80 on his math exam.....
Binx: why can't February have 31 days in the month?
