The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back

This week is swooshing by really fast... that's good.

Finally stood up against my boss on Wednesday. I told her right in the face that I cannot work overtime and need to go off. I have no problems about working overtime but not when she is obviously failing to put in the efforts to clear her work on time. The one page memo was given to her last Friday morning and despite numerous reminders on Monday and Tuesday... she only got back to me with amendments ten minutes before my knock-off time on Wednesday.

Every time when I remind her that she needs to clear something urgent, her reply would be "tomorrow" or "later today". Got me really pissed with her this time round... the straw finally broke the camel's back. You guys should see the expression on her face when I told her that I cannot stay. Time for her to realise that the world doesn't revolve around her timing. If she can drop her work and leave the office before her official knock-off time just because she has some personal appointment despite the amount of work piling... I don't see the reason why I cannot leave. What's more... it is my official knock-off time.

After this episode... I seriously think it is time for me to keep a lookout for better opportunities. No real hurry... cause Daddy said that no way she can or will fire me for that but I believe that it might affect my appraisal for next year.

Haven't form an attachment (and doubt that I will) to the work, the place and the people here... so it should be easier for me to move on. But the thought of having to deal with changes and in the event if I should get pregnant again... it will be tough for any potential employers to even consider my application.
