T Minus 3 Days

So today is my 4th last day working, so meaning I have 3 more days to go: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and while things seems to be all fine and dandy before lunch, I'm really dreading this job as the day stretches out.

For one thing, Leader senpai continues to irritate and annoy me with work related matters. Things that she can very well solve on her own but she insist on keeping me here to take care of them for her. It doesn't take more than a phone call to solve them and yet I have to do it for her. She even has the guts to tell me that the questions that she asked were those she really did not have the answer to and I need to ask the client about it. 

Excuse me? Who's the senior here? Who's the original person in charge here? Definitely not me. No siree. This is pissing me off as well. It feels like I'm here to pick up after her. Wtf is this? She's my senior for crying out loud and she can't do these on her own? I'm not even suppose to be here in the first place. I'm only here because she couldn't finish her work and needed back-up. How dare she make it sound like I'm the one slacking when she was the one who couldn't cope with the work in the first place.

And another thing - she has picked up an annoying habit of texting work related things. "Can you do this this this? Thx" "Can you get that that that? Thx" "Come see me when you reach. Thx" "Ask that person for the info. Thx"

Thx thx thx. Thx your head la thx thx thx -.-

When you see it too often it gets annoying especially when used in a context you hate the most. In this case, it's because it's work related and more importantly, the work is related to the blasted milk power company where I'm currently being held hostage at. It really does feel like I'm a hostage here because no.1. held here against my will, no.2. not allowed to leave this case until she says so. How is it any different from being held hostage? Anyway I'm getting off point. The point is -  is it that much to ask for a person to email to talk about work related things instead of whatsapp? It's not too much to ask now, is it? I'm seriously considering not giving her a byebye note like the one I gave Clover senpai.

Leader senpai, while she is a good friend, I can't stand her as a colleague. Why? Because she's too robotic about work. Everything is standardised and she is too rigid. No room for flexibility whatsoever. It is either her way or if you don't do things her way, she will issue you something called Review Points and you will die answering them. Review points are basically a long list of questions asking you "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THE THING?". 

They say that you can learn a lot by being in her team. I beg to differ. The only thing I've learnt from her is that I hate her way of working. There's no flexibility, there's no fun and there is no room for self growth. All you do is follow her method until it's ingrained in your head until it's almost second nature to you. Is that personal growth? No, I don't classify it as personal growth. But in a robotic sense maybe yeah, growth - you become more and more robotic. Isn't that great?
