小狗的挑衅。无稽之谈

无端卷入办公室纠纷,弄得一头雾水,才发现我被灞陵了。

委屈。谁都没有义务对谁好。这我比谁都清楚。

对手是一个四十几岁的矮冬瓜,战胜癌症的大叔,仗着自己的经验欺负弱者的懦夫。里表不一,用言语挑衅同事的伪君子。在我背后下战书,却在我面前恭恭敬敬,如此下三滥的招数,我为他感到可耻。

更何况我们没有工作的往来,简直是无中生有。我最讨厌钻牛角尖,自命清高,更讨厌玩文字游戏的人。

上次的交手,我已经百般忍让,到处散播谣言说我种族歧视,连人事部经理都觉得他故意自造事端,对他的小狗心态,我已经忍耐再忍让。至少我们俩得共同老板,是站在我这边的。

挑起的敌意,我可以奉陪到底,斗败的不会是我,但又为何物?为了颜面?我处事,办事的方法,待人的手法,同事们是有目共睹的,不是他一个新人说的算!

当然接下来,我可以当面反击,也可能会直接通报总裁。

全看他的造化如何。

Officially PwR

Today, I proudly announced to the world that I am no longer a PMT (Princess with Metal Teeth). I am now officially PwR (Princess with Retainers) for good, on 16 April 2014 at 12:35.

This is a huge milestone for me: the journey started since 7th July 2012; from the consultations with a dentist (removal of wisdom tooth) and an Orthodontics (the fixing of brackets). I have survived the 21 months by braving through the pain and discomfort.

Of course, I could have ended this torture 4 months back.  But I wanted so badly to correct my front teeth mid line, hence my Orthodontics continued this journey patiently with me. Came last week when I realised that I really had no choice but to give up my pursue, because the next procedure seem unsafe and will eventually add more stress to my body. I was determined to proceed with the "metal screw" procedure: a metal screw is to be drilled into my bones, so that I can "pull" my front teeth to the left by another 1 to 2 mm.

However, this metal screw procedure only holds a 50% chance for success, it may not stay put in the bones, and I need to go through GA (General Anesthesia) for it. After consulting my primary doctor, and a few others, I have painfully decided not to proceed any further. Just like what my Orthodontics had said, "sometimes we just have to live with imperfection". He was kind enough to console me that empirical studies has shown that "only a difference of 4mm and above, then others will be able to observed the mid line is "off" the mark".

Anyway, I will have to wear my transparent retainer day and night, for 6 months. After which, I shall only wear them at night time for the rest of my life. Wearing retainers is something that I have to do religiously, if not my teeth may shift back to its original state, wasting the past 21 months' effort.

Oh well, April 16 is a day I shall remember :) Thank you, Dr. Henry Ho, for giving me something to smile for the rest of my life!
