Cogito ergo scribo

I'm gonna be staying late in Singapore today. In fact, i'm in the office now, not doing any work but just passing time. 贝's colleagues are treating him to a farewell dinner tonight and i gotta wait for him.

Now, about what happened recently at work. We have two new female colleagues in our department. One is a lady from India who has been working in Singapore for years, and the other is a rather pretty Chinese girl.

The Indian lady was hired as a Database Analyst, a newly created post in our department. The other day we were having a chat and she told me that she had originally applied for the post of Business Analyst, a replacement vacancy that the pretty girl was hired for. That Indian lady then said that during the interview, our boss told her that she was too good to be a Business Analyst and hence she was offered the other post instead.

Ok, i'm not sure if my boss indeed said that to her, but she actually said this to me, a Business Analyst too. So it basically means that i'm lousy, or at least not as good as her, since i'm doing a job that was deemed to be not good enough for her.

Was i offended? Well, mildly, but of course i didn't say anything nor showed any resentment. She probably didn't mean it that way. My boss probably did tell her that, and all she did was just relating what she was told. But then, i thought she should be more tactful in saying that to me. Hmmm, or perhaps i should be less sensitive.

I just reached JB about 30 min ago.

The above was written at around 6.40pm today. Felt uneasy blogging in the office with open concept, especially when i was writing about my colleagues. So i just stopped there and left.

Went shopping at Causeway Point -- uh huh, again. Spent SGD80+ on outfits in just an hour time. I think i'm becoming a shopaholic.
