My otherwise nice day was spoilt just because of a friend's comments.
As I will be on an one-week business trip to Bangkok in August, was toying with the idea of extending my trip for the weekend just to relax and do a little shopping there. After asking a few close friends, their schedules clashed with mine, so no one can go with me.
One of these friends, B, who is an accountant and whom I have asked earlier if she wanted to go. She said no. In the midst of my meeting, she started sms-ing me today, saying "just mentioned to my senior at work about your extension of bkk trip. He said it's very wrong to do that, he thinks it's not right and his ex-company, people don't abuse it. He said yours must be a very small company and normally people try not to do that too. Told you people don't do that."
WTF..... I was pissed. "What the heck, I am paying my own money. I am not from N** and I am not D**** and I don't fly first class. Even their accountant is in trouble now, so-called a big company." I replied in anger, referring to a scandalous well-known company.
My friend B doesn't give up, continued to sms me saying, maybe I should ask around my friends for their opinion. I was really pissed. I said I have not decided to do anything and why should I waste my time asking others opinions if this is moral or legal etc... when it's a simple case of agreement between my boss and me. Do I report to HER boss? Am I asking for HER opinion? Am I asking for THE WHOLE WORLD's opinion? Am I asking for ANYONE's opinion for goodness sake?! Have I killed someone? Have I committed some unpardonable sin? My pure intention was asking a friend if she want to go for a break! Accountants can be so one-of-a-kind inflexible. To be fair, B has a heart of gold, but when it comes to spoken words, she is one relentless critic, which may be her undoing one day.
Anyway, for now, get out of my skin. I don't have to answer to you for MY life.
PS. This is a case of Bazi clashes.
