alipins unite
Saturday, July 5, 2008my fellow alipins and i went out for a couple of drinks last night. i limited myself to two bottles since we didn’t have a decent dinner. it’s easier to feel the effects of alcohol when your stomach is empty and i didn’t want to crawl all the way home.
of course, it is expected that we are going to talk about our other co-workers. it seems that the alipins are being discriminated in one way or the other. i found out that one was even tagged as “the little rich girl”. i don’t think i’d mind if they called me that. hahaha.
i have heard catty comments here and there from our other co-workers. when i was new, i was kinda bothered by their nasty remarks and reactions but i got apathetic afterwards. people will see what they want to see in you. no matter how much you try to manage their impressions of you, they will judge you from the second they see you. we just have to deal.
i guess i am like our other co-workers in some ways. i can really be mean and sarcastic, i just don’t deliberately flaunt it.
anyway, i didn’t even reach the usual sort of head spinning sensation after drinking but i woke up really late today. i think we are probably going to do the alipin sessions regularly. i kind of like that.
