Rants
*This is a semi-work rant*
I detest it when people don’t check properly before jumping to conclusions and accusing someone else of doing/not doing something. And then when they’ve been proven wrong, they don’t even apologize!
So this Aunty-Colleague remarked, condescendingly, to me yesterday morning, concerning an email that I had sent to the vendor. “Next time, can you bcc me in the emails that you sent to the vendor?” I retorted “I DID. You can check the Sent mail.” This took place verbally, with my other colleague around.
A while later, I get an email from Aunty-Colleague, “Oh ya, received it. Somehow it was marked read so I didn’t notice.”
First of all, she didn’t even apologize for accusing me blindly for not bcc-ing her in the email. And secondly, if you can accuse me in front of people, you should bloody well own up to your mistake in front of people as well.
See, I’m ok with people making mistakes. Hey, no one’s perfect and I’ve made plenty of mistakes. But you must also be big enough to acknowledge the mistakes you’ve made and apologize, when necessary. I’ve made a similar mistake like the above i.e. someone was supposed to send me an email and I thought I didn’t receive it so I asked them to re-send but upon further checking, I found out that I did receive it and had somehow missed it. I would immediately apologize, verbally, and not thru email.
Now is that so difficult to do?
This is a very small matter but to me, the way people react to the small things tells a lot about their character and how they would respond to more important matters. If one can’t own up to small matters, do you expect that they will own up to larger, more critical matters?

Eeeeeeeee!! I seriously cannot tahan this Aunty-Colleague! I don’t know why but the way she says/writes things makes her sound like a pompous @$$!! She sent another email and I am so itching to send a sarcastic reply but am controlling myself. Not professional to show open hostility to people I’m supposed to be working with, heh.
She’s always so eager to make it sound like she knows everything. It’s so irritating! It’s fine if she knows a lot but she shouldn’t need to try so hard to make herself sound so smart *rolls eyes* Nothing wrong with being humble right?
Argh! Cannot tahan cannot tahan cannot tahan!!
Always a pessimistic idealist… the perfectionist… animal lover… dance enthusiast… and snob to people who don’t know me. Coz I’ve got the “proud peacock look”, according to a friend. Ah well… always takes one to know one, no?
