sorry..i don't know her..

when i was coming back from the toilet yesterday,someone was waiting at our floor entrance (we hav to walk out to the lift area to get to the toilet)..

the security guard was speaking to the person and when i walked past him..the visitor asked me if i knew Ms.A from the HR dept..

the name was familiar..

u see, we have this practise to place a big label with our names on it at our cubicle.it is supposed to create a more friendly environment where u will know your colleague's name since we have like 200 over employees sitting in one floor alone..

i appologized and walked back to my seat since i couldnt remember who she was..
as i was walking back..something was telling me that the name was very familiar and i know this person..i kept thinking and thinking and finally i reached my place..

then i SAW it..

the girl who sits 2 seats away in front of me is Ms.A!
and to be exact..i was sitting exactly right beside her for almost 5 months until i shifted to my current place, 2 seats behind my original seat..-_-

i was so ashamed at myself that when eventually the visitor found out who Ms.A was..and when he was walking towards her cubicle..i went as low as possible to hide my face(thank god v have high dividers for our cubicles)..

gosh..u see wat im trying to say here?
its kinda wierd here u know..i mean..its like ppl always tend to mix around with their own teams and dont bother to make friends with other teams..
although im sitting right beside the HR team..exactly right beside..i mean i could touch my neighbour's head if i stood up..we are THAT close physically..
but the onli thing we say to each other is "Good Morning"..and i've been here for like 6 months already..

no no..im not anti-social..i love making love friends..back in my previous comp..we had like 30 staffs in my floor and i would know everyone..go chit chat with all of them n it was really fun to hav so many friends at work..it makes ur working life more comfortable u know..feels more like home..

but somehow its just not the same here..everyone has so much ego (ok fine fine..including me) and always wait for the other party to initiate a conversation..

ash used to be so noisy n famous at work with his team of noisy colleagues..ppl never thought that software guys could be so noisy..unlike their usual nerdy image

sigh..now all that's left is a quiet n decent looking boy..

i mean..how come it was so easy to make friends with almost 30 over colleagues..and now its just so hard to start a conversation with one person..who sits right beside me..
