Ah Soh: You changed your own designation to a SD in the new namecard artwork? Why did you demote yourself?

Ah Soh: Can you PLEASE change it back to AD - your working title. (notice her tone is never a request although she was asking)

Kiong: No la. I think I want to keep it as my official designation. SD is good for me.

Kiong: I am more comfortable using SD. I never apply for AD post and you keep piling AD work onto me. I don't like spoon feeding juniors. I hate doing those admin work. Making sure that their works are on track. I would rather concentrate on my own design work.

Ah Soh: You mean I can't even ask for your second opinion on junior's work? You know other company also the same - even if you are a SD, you also have to do a AD's work, with AD's responsibilities.

Kiong: That's other people. None of my business.

Ah Soh: ok .. you change it back to AD. I will take note of it.

Kiong: I been here for two years close to three. I know you. You will go back to square one and ask me to do the same old things again. I don't need that. Now I am making it official. I don't want to take care of juniors. So, NO.

Ah Soh: I have no time for these... I got no time to keep attending to these things about you. Other designers never give me such problem. It's very common that your have another title different from your official title. Like my friend, she is a Manager but her namecard states General Manager. Other bosses don't even ask their staffs, they just print the cards...

Kiong: You can print. But I wont distribute.

Ah Soh: Why you so unaccommodating? You come in 9am plus and leave at 630pm sharp, I also never say anything. It doesn't matter one, what have you got to lose?

Kiong: When I come in 7am and leave at 10pm I don't see you complaining.

(Her mind is all over the place. I am not about to join her in her mental roller coaster. Not gonna go further with her nonsenses.)
Ah Kiong: If doesn't matter why are you so particular about this. You brought this up yourself. So, may I now go back to my work.

Ah Soh: OK la. Up to you.
