back on the road again...

I remember, once my colleague told me that she likes working here because there was no office politics. That was last year. Then, there was only me working there full time. All my other colleagues are not full-time workers.

The this year, one of my colleagues turned full time. We'll call her A. Then there are 2 more part time colleagues. We'll call one of them B. Now, one thing that i have to mention first is that they're both aunties. Like those gossipy aunties. So there is Auntie Politics now. I always feel abit intimidated by those aunties because I know if there is something they dislike about me, they will start gossiping behind my back. However, after some time, i have this feeling that A and B dislike each other. A started gossiping about B about this joke that B made to my boss. A is the full time worker and she has a lot of stress from handling most of the admin matters and seeing that the worksheets are all prepared and printed out on time. B is just a teacher who vets all the english worksheets. She works 2-6 pm daily. B joked(i think so) to my boss today that A kept pushing her for the english worksheets. So my boss, in a joking manner, told A to stop hurrying B because B might get angry at him for putting her in charge of too much work. and then A whispered to me, "boss is scared that B is angry at him, but not scared that I angry at him ah!" I know in actual fact that A has lots of work to do, and i think frequently, there are some mistakes in admin things and A has to bear the brunt of it. I also heard boss and A argued before that some mistakes wasn't her fault. So when A gets angry, boss doesn't care. So i guess she was annoyed that B can actually complain freely that she has too much work, and A got told off for it.

Complicated!
