That's all!! Life sucks even more today. I experienced my first ever official office politics in army. I overheard Stanley conversation with Ah Pa. Stanley told Ah Pa, 'why you do the work? Dump everything to the newbies(us but we are not newbies) la!' To me, this is like bullying and I hate him! BITCH!!!!! I literally blew off my mind. I wanted to kill him right now seriously. I cursed that he would meet the worst boss ever when he went for his first job and that he would be cursed with a weak health and poor marriage, his wife left him and a job that will make him lose his limbs and *#$%!@*&%^% . If you saw this, Stanley, please remember that I will always hate you and if I become your boss, I will make hell for you!!! This is how I feel as for now. Life will get worse here, I knew it from the first day.
However, I am glad that I only have ten months to my ORD! Could not stand this kind of stupid nonsenses!
