Today I nearly got the election duty post that ivh always wanted
But then I stupidly went and gave it away
When I found out that I wasnt going to get the chance I had a mixture of shock and disbelief
I really dislike that woman. Who prevented me from going. But then I cant really blame her because she didnt specifically single me out like adeline.
How did this happen?
Well after I was asked u know who came bounding over and asked very loudly what is going on and what she was missing out on.
So I knew for the longest time that both of us really wanted to do the job. And caroline just said that she needed 5 more people. So I asked her if she wanted to sign up too.
I saw that caroline took a while to turn. I thought nothing of it. Perhaps I was too soft as usual. Later I realised its because she was composing herself.
Caroline asked her seriously "u sure u wana do it? Cannot do wrongly very serious one leh" caroline gave her a worried look. To which e was her usual self and just shook like a leaf in the wind, pranced around and happily said 'yes! Of coz can one lah' den she went to ask hy if she wanted to join too. And ended up all 3 of us signed up.
I should have seen the signs. How she hurried to leave after she got my name. How she 'didnt' hear my hints about the other 2 ppl. How reluctantly she turned. How she walked away saying that yf is gg to kill her.
When the call to my boss came, and he said that elicia and I couldn't get involved coz of tkps. I was really disappointed. F tkps incident. If tkps incident then why let me sign up in the first place.
I felt so disappointed. And they kept talking about it. About what its like to do election duty. I tried to hold my tears back. I drank water and told myself that ppl dont always get what they want.
I felt disappointed with them. But at the same time I felt like they wernt to blame. I guess I only have myself to blame.
Im too nice. I didnt seize the opportunity. I shared it with others. In the end I lost it.
And I have nobody to blame but myself.
If I didn't call e over to join this wouldn't have happened.
But then I would have lived with the guilt and wonder of what would have happened if I nvr asked her to join and if it was unfair of me.
I would never have learnt that there indeed is different treatment btwn her and me by others and I should cherish it.
Boss really is good at treating all of us equally and I appreciate it.
It was a good learning experience. And a small price to pay.
And I should not regret.
