when good things come in pairs- NOT

so i told my boss, about my grandma's passing. she immediatedly comforted and hugged me, patted my back while consoling me.

then i gave her the letter which was actually right under her nose. "what's this?" she was so shocked she was completely speechless. she dropped her hand from my back. tears welled in her eyes. blankly, she asked the 'pertinent' questions, i explained. then she blanked out again. she said she needed some time (to think).

talk about double whammy.

i have a bloody dramatic life and the most horrific timing. when she caught me alone again, i apologized for giving my resignation letter, yet also asking for COMPASSIONATE leave. every thing is happening at the same time to me- i didn't plan for it this way. she asked that i settle my grandma's stuff first and we'd talk when I'm back to the office.

aiyah, she cried, i cried.

and when i appeared to my colleagues (who obviously doesn't know yet of my departure), they thought i was so upset and damp-eyed all because of my grandma.

si bei drama.

(i always knew it would be damn difficult to leave my co, as Els said- machiam like divorce.)

work, resignation
