me, 2-Faced and Lazybum

i really HATE people who think they're big time _________ (insert any self-claimed complimentary words).

i bet all of us have met this kind of people in our lives more than once.

and oh, they're the same person who thinks ____________ (insert any comparative self-claimed complimentary words) than others around them.

yesterday, i nearly got into a fight with one of the people at my workplace. it involves one two-faced person, a lazybum and obviously me. i used to be in a healthy and good relationship with The 2-Faced and was never ever in good terms with The Lazybum.

you see, The Lazybum is getting nearer to having her baby delivered. i think just 2-3 months due. well, she has always been a lazybum. seniors told that it's one of her attributes. she loves to take naps during working hours, and obviously she doesn't do much of her work. most of the work she has to do, she will demand others (who are all postgraduate students) to do them for her while she naps in a small room. yeah, the room is quite hidden from the main lab. the room is a small instrument lab actually, only having 2 mini instruments. and a big chair for her to nap. you know, the kind of office use chairs with the soft paddings, usually black in color. the big boss chair, i called it.

so one fine day, i had to go into that small room to take a wrench. and i caught her leaning in the chair, napping of course. she didn't realize i was there. and that time, we were again given last minute tasks. everyone was busy trying to meet the deadlines, but this lady is busy slumbering. i just went out with the wrench, and continue my work.

in the afternoon, The 2-Faced called me in the lab. we were talking on the phone about work matters when she suddenly changed the topic and asked me what others are doing. that time, i didn't know she has the potential of being a 2-faced b*tch. she seemed to be the nicest among all, and whenever we need help, she is willing to help out if she can. i didn't even have the thought of her being as sly as a fox. and so i told her bout what i saw, since she told me that The Boss was asking.

i guess it happened earlier this week. The Boss caught The Lazybum napping in the small room. her friends tried to cover up for her, but they didn't seem to even try to save her arse. anyways, all of them like to backstab each other but they called themselves as the best of friends. weird huh? how can best friends backstab each other?

back to the story - The Lazybum was obviously furious when she was scolded in front of everyone (excluding me and Hubby cause we're in a different lab). Now, how did we almost end up in a fight? picture this:

• one of The Lazybum's friend told The 2-Faced's friend bout the incident.

• The 2-Faced's friend told the The Lazybum's friend that she heard from The 2-Faced complaining the same thing before.

• The Lazybum's friend told The Lazybum bout the complaint.

• The Lazybum went to unleash her fury to The 2-Faced.

• The 2-Faced told The Lazybum that i was the one who saw her napping in the first place, and she added in some spices and salt.

The Lazybum was not daring enough to face me but she called me at my lab, and ran amok on the phone.
i went to see The 2-Faced, asked her the details, caught The Lazybum on time and so here's the conversation:

Lzb: why do you have to gossip around something that is untrue about me to 2-Faced? i didn't nap on the mat in the room, ok? (in her bitchy tone)

me: hey, watch your words. it's true i saw you napping, and i admitted i told 2-Faced bout it but i didn't say you napped on a mat. are you stupid or what? how can a pregnant woman just sleep on the floor with only a mat? and you, 2-Faced, where the hell did you hear me mentioning bout a mat?

2-F: but i thought i heard that Lazybum napped on a mat. i think so.

me: you think so, right? but you didn't hear me mentioning that particular sentence, did you? don't put in salt to a wound, can you? can you do that, huh?

Lzb: that's both of your problems. but i don't like people to spread untrue things bout me.

me: too bad those things are true. and too bad for you that The Boss caught you. im not going to apologize for something i didn't do. and for all you know, it's your friends who complain straight to The Boss. look into your own gang first before you point your bloody fingers at others.

The Lazybum couldn't say more, and so she left. i straightened things up with The 2-Faced and demanded an apology from her. and i got it.

if only i don't have to be such a gentle person as a lady should be, i would have done this : drag both b*tches to The Boss (but The Boss had meeting when the fight happened), and talk everything out once and for all.

but i think i still prefer my old way:

drag The Lazybum behind the block, and bash her up nicely with my big wrench. and have some serious words with The 2-Faced bout her being a b*tch. you know, the way men solve fights with each other :)

oh, i should have just done the old way. it's pure satisfaction plus i bet, they won't dare to even look at me anymore.

im off smoking now. Hubby's dragging.
