How to Deal with Office Politics

Step One

Do not participate in office politics. You may have to recognize they exist, and perhaps even take part in them involuntarily, but do not encourage or exacerbate them.

Step Two

Do not gossip. If you hear someone else gossiping, politely remove yourself from the situation. Gossip ALWAYS spreads, often back to the source.

Step Three

If you have a valid complaint, express it through the proper channels: your direct supervisor or human resources representative.

Step Four

Do your work to the best of your ability, and make sure there is proof of it. Create a paper (or email) trail. Copy your boss and anyone else necessary on emails. Remember, if you mention someone or refer to something that pertains to them, copy them on the email.

HURT

HURT…. this word annoys me…

as a Libran, I am very sensitive human being… not like I am happy it sticks on me, I hate being sensitive.. but what can I do.. I was born with it.. and I have to live with it…

Today’s HURT moment was when one of my very good friend said something about my {so called ex} bestfriend who commenting on me and my life… hhm… how can I say this… gini… there’s a girl, let’s call her Cecil… she was one of my bestfriends back in the US… anyway, one day….

There goes the story… playing on my head… and I just stop typing my curahan hati and listen to some crapy music out of my radio… I decided to stop typing coz I didn’t wanna get hurt too much and it wasn’t worth it.. she wasn’t worth it…!!! I am glad to where I am now.. having a very quality friends… closefriends I should say… not concern much on having a quantity friends anymore… though I still have lots of them, but when I get older, my point of view changes…
Now I feel sorry for her.. she’s trap in her own bad mood, a negative mode, a dark aura… I am not perfect.. I have lots of weaknesses.. But I am trying sooo hard… to like myself and to improve myself, to be a better person day by day.. for God, for me, for my husband, for my family, for my friends and everybody I care…

KENAPA YA?

agak sedih gue hari ini… semakin lama gue merasa salah satu temen deket gue makin menutup diri.. perasaan sih bukan hanya sama gue, tapi sama group berangkat kantor bareng…

sejak berangkat kantor mulai jarang bersama2, dan gue kadang pulang kantor ga bareng karena ada tambahan di luar after work, ditambah dengan jadinya kita semua part timer ngajar, apalagi schedule ada beberapa yang beda, dia mulai kelihatan menjaga jarak.. kalo pulang kantor sih biasa aja.. menjadi diri dia yang rame dan lucu seperti biasa.. tapi sudah dua hari ini dia kelihatan murung… hhm.. not really murung sih.. tapi sort of keep a distant, very quite – more than she used to – sort of like she holds a grudge against something…

this morning I asked her why didn’t she go to work with us (since she, and this one other friend, had to go to our office earlier time, starting at 8, whereas everybody starting at 9)… she just simply said, “nevermind, I’ll just go by myself…” in a cold tone… what’s weird is when we talked about other things (after and before I asked her that question, she uses normal tone.. not really show any resentment..)


trying hard not to think negative, coz I know she’s a very nice and kind person.. I look for answer and comfort, and one of our good friends told me, she might has some thoughts from home… I agreed and nodded..

sometimes, I have a disturbed mind… is it me? is it us? is it her? or is it the place we work for created this…? is it…? is it…? I don’t know.. lately I have been mising her, coz we used to spend so much time together, most of them are great times… I miss all the fun, nice, funny, great moments, all the things with her, bad or good times… then I found out a funny thing, my other friend who’s always go to office and home together feels the same way..

I wonder what’s wrong.. is she ok… is she mad.. is she in trouble… is she pissed… hhmm…


A month passed.. she’s back to where she is.. I am glad.. our other friends glad.. she’s not quite like before, but at least close to she used to or I should say a much better looking… I am happy that she’s happy… I am glad she’s coping out from whatever that made her cold…

I spoke to my friend through YM this morning and ask her what should we do.. she said.. just let her have her space.. perhaps she needs it for whatever reasons… Yup! I would do that… I pray the best for her… and will be a good friend whenever she needs me…


I am glad for our friendships….

to all my 6 DeJockeys friends… I love you guys !!!!

MY LOVE, MY NIECE, KANAYA…
