It's Friday!!
It's Friday!!
Felt my little baby moving about this morning, heehee. I can't always feel him so distinctly. Sometimes, it's like I think I feel something but I can't be sure. But this morning, as I was eating, I really felt him moving about, like doing somersaults or something. So cute! I hope to feel him move more...
One of the support staff in our dept has been MIA since CNY. Imagine, she is not even Chinese and it's like she is the one celebrating CNY. After CNY, she has been taking urgent leave right up to the beginning of this wk (imagine 1.5 weeks of urgent leave cuz child sick, father sick, mother sick, herself sick, etc). Then at the beginning of this week (which is Mon), my boss informed us that she is on course for 2 days (i.e. Mon & Tue) and on Wed, she called to say she is on MC for 2 days (which is Thur & Fri) and today, she is still MIA. My boss told us she is probably on MC again though she hasn't informed.
Honestly, I feel quite pissed off. I guess maybe I should be more compassionate, but this is not the first time this staff has "gone on strike" and coincidentally, last year, it occured sometime around this time of the year too, i.e. Feb - Mar period and that's when the closing of financial year takes place. The best thing is of course, she is the staff in charge of financial matters in our dept and there is no one covering her in this dept. So we have to rely on another staff from another dept to help us. Honestly, I feel quite paiseh to always have to ask the other staff for help, cuz it's been such a long time that our staff has been MIA. Yeah, I understand that she had bouts of depression and was seeking psychiatric treatment at some hospital, but that doesn't explain all the urgent leave. Cuz if you are truly sick, your doctor would have offered you lont-term MC and you wouldn't need to take urgent leave for 1.5 wks! And at least if she were really certified unfit for work by her doctor for say a period of time, e.g. 1 month, we would at least know it in advance and not be anticipating her coming back every day. It really is so frustrating sometimes.
