♥ A lesson learnt today
What a day I had today. I had a meeting in the morning and I had a talk with one of the coordinators here. I never realized that she has a really good eye on people's character and personality. After all this while, I never did 'like' working with her because of her way, which is the last-minute-type-of-person. Bukan nak kata my work is well planned and everything is according to my schedule, but I do organize my work by priority and I do keep track of things I have to do. I usually complain about her way behind her back or with other colleagues that have to end up working with me to finish up her work. Ha..ha.. but sometimes, the unsatisfied face does show on my face (which I really suck at hiding my true feelings to pretend that I don't mind). I guess she can read it clearly on my face. Now, I do feel bad about it.
I never thought that she has been observing the people around her and the surrounding. She is so kind-hearted and that makes me guiltier. She is so motherly type and it's hard to get mad at her. But for me, when it comes to work, I do get mad and pissed-off (haiyyaaa.. dahsat looo) if I have planned everything and the time is so short and then there comes another thing that was supposed to be done sometime ago, but due to I-don't-know-what, the burden has to be put on my shoulders last minute. Arggghhh.. can you imagine that!!!
Anyway, I really never thought that we could sit down and talk together about our department. Or even just sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation. After listening to her, I felt like I never really knew the other side of her. And I never knew that she is so sporting and is totally different from what I have seen of her for the past three years.
After talking to her, I realized that she does have a character that is seldom found in other people. That maybe is the reason why she is a coordinator in my department. I do see people in every possible way that I can especially the positive side of people. But I never found this trait in her before this. Maybe it's because I have been totally fed-up by her last-minute-work-that-is-burdened-on-me. And now I know the real person behind all the forgetfulness, last minute work and the 'serabut-ness'of her. I am really thankful that I found the most precious trait inside her and I have learned to 'see’ her in a different way.
Sometimes it's hard to realize all this. But it takes courage to admit one's mistake and change it. Now I know why they say 'don't judge a book by its cover.'
