Busy Busy Bees

There are certain kinds of people who feel the need to announce to the whole world that they are star employees. There are the ones that cc everyone from the CEO to the kakak cleaner their entire conversations (to other people) via email to prove that they are working hard (sending emails, that is). There are the ones that come up to you all the friking time to tell you that all the clients in the world cannot be reached at the moment while never sending you a single email to confirm what they have done and what needs to be done next (until someone else has done the work for them, after which they will again appear busy and ask you if you need anything else).

Then, there are the ones that talk to themselves the entire time they’re at their desk so as to appear working, who sigh and randomly exclaim human expressions like ‘Eh? WTF??” or “Hey! Mumblemumblemumble” so that the bosses know that it’s not their fault they don’t send in their stuff on time – “producing sounds” is a lot of work, you know. Oh, and this last kind, they also jump at the chance to point out when a colleague is wrong, no matter how small the error. Like shouting across the room to ask whether the website URL given earlier by aforementioned (hypothetical) colleague ended in dotcom or dotcomdotmy.

“Oh, apparently it’s dotcom, not dotcomdotmy. Ha ha! You got it wrong!”

Whatever, dude! If it’s a Malaysian company, if you can’t reach the website via dotcomdotmy, it’s most probably just dotcom. Or maybe dotnet or dotbiz or dotmy. It’ll only take you three or four more clicks! Oh I forgot, you need time to make those sounds.
