The Hipocrite Story

Salam and hi :)

i am now working in a company that depends on lotsa documentation and lotsa hassle before we can do something. there are finances forms, leave forms, all kind of unimportant forms (i think, but why do they need it if its not important, no?). in my previous company, i didnt have to fill in much forms. everything was done online, and free of hassle.

so when i first join this company, i kind of expect that i will have to deal with a lot of manual written forms, but not this much ! and being forgetful and oblivious of surrounding that i am, as i went for induction course last week, i didnt fill in any kind of form. just imagine, there are about three types of forms that i have to fill and ask for kelulusan  from bosses first before going there, but i fill in none. that was sooo wrong actually, and when i come back i came up to see my bosses and tell me nicely how sorry i am and that i would not repeat the same thing again. there are 3 level of bosses here, Boss 1, Boss 2 and Boss 3. let say Boss 1 is the top boss here. i have met with Boss 2 and Boss 3, but Boss 1 is away for this week so i haven't got a chance to see him. as it turns out, Boss 2 and Boss 3 was okay. as i fill in all the forms even though its backdated, i mentally prepared myself for the potpet of Boss 1 because i know, it was solely my mistake.

in one part of one of the form, i had to see the finance lady to ask her about the finance part. note here that the form will be fully diluluskan by Boss 1. if Boss said yes, than the other process will follow by the finance part or documentation part or any other part that related. if no, then what to do, i has to accept it la. but before that i had to fill in the form correctly la, and how to fill it correctly if i didnt ask the right person, right? so when i see the finance lady, i didnt asked for her to sign her name in my form or to do anything with the form, i only asked about what should i write in in here and here. but as soon as she see the form and knew that i had only fill it after i had went to the course, she nagged at me. yes, nagged. you shouldnt do this you shouldnt do that, do you know the bla bla bla, this is wrong this is bla bla bla. i was dumbstruck. hello, i did know that it was wrong, and i had faced it up with Boss 2 and Boss 3 but they didnt say much. tak marah pun, cuma nasihat je. ini tak, orang lain pulak lebih lebih. the thing is, its not related to her much pun, Boss 1 hasnt said anything yet, its up to him la to get angry with me, not her. ini tak pasal pasal dia lak yang marah marah. you know what was in my mind at that time?

aikk dah kenape. dah tak paham. chill la lady, orang tanya je kena isi apa, yang nak marah kenapa.

lucky she didnt do it infront of people. in my opinion, i came to see her only to ask, and i had known that it was a mistake, and i didnt ask for her to cover for me or what. once Boss 1 signed my form, then only she will documented it, and takde effect kerja dia pun because that thing can be done in 1 month time, and memang kena buat after i went back from kursus.

maybe she was in bad mood when i saw her, but thats no excuse. i did asked nicely, i addressed her correctly, but still i think she could actually talk nicely instead of marah marah. 

and today, when i came to see her again, i change my tactic. i wore a scarf that is more modest than my usual scarf, and i style it so that it look like a wide scarf. oh i forgot to mention, this finance lady wear a wide scarf and look alim la, so i had to show the modest side of me la if i want her to be nice to me, aight? so later, i went up to see her and showed her the forms and all, apologizing again and talk in extra sopan words. and alhamdulillah, she didnt potpet at me no more and explain to me back with a sopan words. my tactic works, huh? hehehe.

so what do you say? am i being a hypocrite or was it just a clever tactic?

p/s: people said that the finance lady is a bit on the antisocial side. she doesnt have friends in the office, nor did she joined any of the event in our company.

p/s: she wears wide scarf, but still her nail is sooo long. all the fingernails. isnt it wrong? i try not to be judgemental, but still im wondering.
