11 Ways to Get Into Your Bosses' Good Books.

1) Own a Chio Face (Pretty Face)
- If you have this, which is the most important thing in the list. No matter how many dumb mistakes you make, how un-contributive you are and how people hate you. Just an innocent look and a few blinks of the eyes, its NEVER your fault. Really... Someone else will have to take your blame.

2) Be His "Kah Gia" (Spy)
- Update him with all the situations, actions and gossips on every single living thing in the office. Make stories up to make yourself look good or make others seem worse. Inform him of anyone who bad-mouth about him. [Watch your tongue people!]

3) Carry His Balls (Unless he doesn't have any)
- This is to prevent them from falling. Ah... haha.. Crap. Polish them as much as you can, if he doesn't have any, make him feel like he has them on. "Boss, you're so smart!", "Boss, you look good in those sunglasses!", "Sir, your house so nice and big!", "GM ah..., " OOps! Did I say... the "G" word?

4) Be a YES SIR Man/Woman
- No matter how stupid, how illogical his theory or suggestions can be just say, "Yes Boss!", "Yes Sir!". And SMILE people SMILE.

5) Take Other People's Credit
- Someone does you a favour, does a good job. CLAIM that you did it! Even if you didn't report it as yours, but Boss assumes you did a great job, keep quiet..... Sssh.... Let the good souls suffer in silence.... Ssssh... [For kind souls die first.]

6) Be a Smart Alec
- Come up with all sorts of ideas. Those that he never seen or heard off, and impress him. For HE, will be mesmerized. The more unnecessary or troublesome it is, the more he'll be impressed.

7) Look Busy
- IF you have things to do, announce to the whole world. Run here and there with documents. Tell the whole office what you're busy with and how much headaches its been giving you!

8) Always Be A Victim
- When theres conflicts or trouble, stretch out your warm hands, look innocent. Then go around sutlely telling your colleagues why you are cleaning up other people's shit. You're kind enough to help out but it made you so busy. It's not your job..... Do a Big Sigh and walk away slowly after you finish your whinings. Remember to look very disturbed and troubled.

9) Pretend to be the Mediator
- Whenever theres a conflict, try to dig up as much as you can. Then pretend to settle the problem by talking to both parties. But actually... Stir up more trouble!! Its your main goal.

10) Have a wide network
- The most crucial protection gear. You know so many people, so many officers that your boss wouldn't have the guts to touch you. He may hate you but he can't touch you. Because, you bring in the business. People will scream if you leave. With this, you can scream at people, express your displeasure immediately to him if theres anyone you're unhappy with. The whole office can hate you, but they can't do anything TO you.

11) Be a Tongue - Wagger
- Finally, the most lethal weapon. Be it True or False. Be it a Fact or an Assumption. Just spread the news baby! Watch, as people slash at one another. Listen, as the news spreads to the Boss's ears. Because, being the Boss's spy, he'll approach you when he gets any wind of anything. You'll be called in.

If you don't posses any of the abilities/assets above.
Leave your job.
Like me! :D

CUTS

1st CUT

Yup. I did it. I snipped my hair. After 2 years of irritation for keeping it long, to months of struggling with my decision of having it back short. I did it. And I luv it. For the way it looks, for the way it makes me feel, and for being me. I'm really not a gal of hassles. After the cut, I finally accepted this fact. I just like things simple and easy. Which... Can also be equivalent to being Lazy.

2nd CUT

Another thing that I have cut myself off from, is my work. Yes. I am gonna join the "Job-Less Club" real soon. After much advise, coaxing, gossiping, nagging and blah blah blah from various people, especially one person who just can't wait for me to say "BYE" to the shit-hole. I gave the white letter to my Superior. Also another decision that took me months to make. Of course i'm not leaving purely because of what people said. I mus be crazy to do that. But really, its not a place for me. This place, jus makes my morale low, confidence low, mood low... Everything jus 'down' there, cos the people I work for simply think they are 'up' there. Hiaks. Dumb-asses. Though there are bastards and bitches that I can't wait to wave goodbye to, there are also people and things I find, hard to leave. I can't bear to just give up all my work too. They are like my babies, from workshops to events. They are like unborn children... Especially 2 big projects that I have done all on my own, from nothing to slowly evolving into something. It's a little heartaching to know that I won't be there for their birth. Being the 23rd person of Year 2006 to tell the Club that they should really F off. I know this is the right decision, but I find it hard to convince myself sometimes. Maybe its the "whats out there ??" that gives me the shivers. It's a tougher road ahead of me, I'm nervous but at the same time excited. I hope this time, I really get what I want, not what I need. Bless me.

3rd CUT

This is it. After 3 years of pain and fatigue. Its done deal. I have cut myself from "___". Not physically... But mentally and emotionally. I'm sure of it this time. No more tears, aches, anger or suspicions. For now, all I have to this is 'shrugs'. I have grown much from here. An experience never will be forgotten nor taken. I learnt well. Though it took long.... Pick myself up and I walk again.

I love the CUTS.
For I'm Free.
CUTS: Freedom brought to me.
