With these 2 out of the picture, everything is under and through me, with my 2 other bosses helping me. I have one interim colleague to help out, which i find it extremely helpful than those 2. And more often than not, I ask her to help out when im not around rather than asking the 2 of them to help.
I just received news on my performance and they are increasing my pay out of the guidelines. But i no longer find any motivation to carry on despite the pay rise and have the intention to leave after another year of experience. There are several reasons, but im not going to state it loud and clear here. Work another year and get my arse out of here if not, im might get sentimental.
By Jan or Feb next year, i will be on the lookout for jobs and career fairs.

One year on - Part 2 of 3
This is a post dedicated to the MC Queen.
The first 3 months where im still learning the ropes and trying my best to learn as much as possible, she will come to work with perfect attendance, no leave taken. Until I was really on my own and have a hands-on experience.
The following 9 months was hell. Every week without fail, she will at least get 1 day MC or take leave on Friday or Monday. And I have to do her share of work whenever she did that. And every week without fail, I rant at my bosses until used to her irresponsible actions.
The last straw was broke when she is pregnant and want to go on maternity leave earlier than expected. Her boss deny her request and she had to hand over her portion of work to us, supervise us before going for maternity leave. But the moment she hands over to me where im the last person, even though those projects are formerly my babies. And off she goes for her maternity leave without official approval.
And now, her maternity leave had been extended due to her hospitalisation leave. For some strange reason, management is speculating that she might not return after her maternity leave. Which again, to me is a good news where i dont have to receive sms early in the morning that she is not coming or taking an urgent leave.
For now, im enjoying a 4 months honeymoon period where im totally in control and having fully responsibility of all the projects that my bosses have entrusted to me.

One year on - Part 1 of 3
When I first started this job one year ago, I have no idea how my colleagues' working personalities or the way they work, until 3 months into the job. Not 1, but 2 of them.
J, when I first met her, she was friendly, chatty and in a way make you comfortable in a new environment. But after I got the hang of managing on my own, I realised the full extent of her working capabilities. Im not sure whether she was able to cope or work just for the sake it. She can do mistakes on her work without realising it until someone point out to her. Normally, people will do systematically from A to B to C. But for her, she can do A to C then back to B.
We try explaining to her in a nice way to correct her mistakes, but her brain cant seem to understand the methods that we implied and she will still carry on doing it. In the end, we have to do double work for her. My other bosses have to restort to scolding her in order to get things done and corrected.
Lunch time with her is a torturing time. We will speak on a common topic and later she will cut in and start another different topic where there is no link to it. She will yak and yak and yak during lunch time when all we wanted to have some peace in eating our lunch.
A few months later where we have to reshuffle of projects and workload, my bosses reduced her work load so much yet she still able to commit mistakes. Before her 1 year contract was up, she told us that she will continue working in our company before graduating from her further studies. A few days later, she handed her resignation letter much to our shock and dismay.
To us, the resignation is a blessing in disguise. Mistakes were reduced to a significant level.
Next up, the MC queen.

Edward Maya - Stereo Love
When you're gonna stop breaking my heart
I don't wanna be another one
Paying for the things I never done
Don't let go,
Don't let go
To my love.
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real.
Cuz you can't deny
You've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm loosing control
Cuz you can't deny
You've blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don't wanna let go.
I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real.
Cuz you can't deny
You've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm loosing control
Cuz you can't deny
You've blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don't wanna let go.
When you're gonna stop breaking my heart
Don't let go,
Don't let go
To my love.
I hate to see you cry, your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry, my love is dying inside(x3)
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
Oh baby I've tried to make the things right,
I need you more than air when I'm not with you,
Please don't ask me why, just kiss me this time
My only dream is about you and I

Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment
So hot out of the box

Turn it up, heat it up
I need to be entertained
Push the limit, are you with it?
Baby don't be afraid
Imma hurt you real good baby

Don't trip off the glitz that I'm gonna display

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on until it's over
Oh!

Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment
Oh!

You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment
'Sall right
You'll be fine
Baby I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes, not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'm gonna work it 'til your totally blown
No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on 'til it's over
Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I am about to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment
Oh I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment
Oh
Do you like what you see?
Oh
Let me entertain ya 'til you scream
Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I am about to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment
Oh!
I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment
