Cold E-Mail War with the General Manager...
I am only a small fry when it comes to facing the higher power...In the department I work, General Manager is the highest power a small fry like me can come face to face..And since my department is small, it is easier for the Higher Powers to keep track of us..
Moving on to the story which is a fact of course...This is how it all began...

Ok the XXX denotes myself and the YYY denotes my GM. You see Microsoft Outlook has these feature that , the sender gets to know once an action is taken on a particular message sent. So this is what my GM did..As its is pretty self explanatory here, I'll cut short the story. I checked my mail on 24th, after reading the message and realising it is a past event i deleted the message. Heck, and the above is the auto response to my actions straigh into the GM's mailbox. This is what happened after that......

You Fucking Bastard,
How dare you neglect my request, and run away without three month notification. U know who the fuck ur dealing with????KNNCCBMCH...I demand and explaination before I fuckin' kick ur butt out of my department. I am the GM u know....u KNNCCBMCH...U submit to me...What other fucking work u haf then entertaining the Great One....Hah???
Well of course my imagination runs wilder than this, but I just malas wanna put all those profanities in word..
But clearly everyone in a company like to play politics, and sound politically correct thus maintain their reputations...So did he, and so did I..by replying in such a way.....

Dear Mr YYY,
Regarding the matter highlighted, I would like to clarify the stance from my side. First of all, the message indicated that I recieved it on the 18th of September. I would like to apologize for my failure to check my emails on a daily basis. Since I've been transfered to SW, I only check my mails everytime I work as a Duty AM. Occassionally, I would check the mails if there is convenience on the days I'm not positioned as duty AM. So as of on the 18th I was not positioned as a Duty AM, thus I failed to check my mails. Also I would like to highlight to you that 18th was my last day as I was scheduled to be on leave from 19th till 22nd of September. I only managed to check my mailbox flooded with mails on the 24th of September. As for your mail, I did read it, and the moment I saw the "WHEN" part which detailed the event to be on Wednesday, 21st of September, I deleted the message realising it was a past event. Since the message was deleted at a glance, the message status remained to be UNREAD in the deleted items box. Nevertheless I beared in mind that I need to update myself regarding this matter with either, the others who attended the meeting but since I am on my midnight shift even as I type this, I haven't been able to get a hold of neither of them.
I concede to my part that I should have more conciousness on checking my mails on daily basis, and regret having missed the meeting. Rest assured that I am willing to lend a helping hand and participate as much as possible as a member of SW in all of its events.
Hoping that you would not set a benchmark on me based on this, thus will keep me updated in the future regarding the event.
I have justified my actions, and leave the decision in your hand willing to accept full responsibilities should you deem a penalty is necessary.
Thank You and Regards,
XXX
What I actually wanted to say is this...
Dear Fuckin Bastard back at ya,
So what if ur a GM, does that mean u have bull's horn on ur head???Fuckin KNNCCBMCH back at ya..If ur so damn proud about being a GM, how come ur so dumb and unorganized...How the hell am i suppose to respect a dumb ass like who is now a GM because he was good at butt kissing activites.Sorry brotha, I dont do butt kissings...If ur a genius, how come u set the meeting on the date I went for my leave? How come it didnt hit u to check on my schedule?? I mean ur the fuckin GM and u should have access to my datas right... Even if u cant, u can always call all those people who kissed ur butts to become Managers, to submit to you my schedule...Even worse, u waited for the auto response so that u can pin me hah.Clearly u r dirty minded aren't u, cus if ur moves are genuine, u should have called me a day or two after u realised i didnt reply ur message. Even worse than worse, why didn't u take the initiative to check on my status the moment i didnt show up for the meeting..Where is the fucking thing u call brain... Is it still attached to ur head or have u pawned it somewhere realising it has no use..Ohh...wait...I think ur too dumb to even pawn it for some cash..I think being a dumbass u must have attached it in ur ass... Suprisingly when subordinated does a mistake, u ppl are quick to pin point our mistakes and condemn us to death...I wonder where have ur initiative gone too...Gave us limited resources but want us to be up to date...Get me a fuckin PDA and access so that I can check my mails from outside the companylarr...Think too much, then dont ask too much...Higher Power my ass...Punish me and see, i will burn and curse ur entire generation down....KNNCCBMCH back at ya...
Honestly thats what I thought while replying to my GM in political way..Suprising heh, how the mind can think 2 different things at one go.. Anyway this is the reslut of my reply....

Dear XXX
thanks for the explanation that's been accepted. With the new office at Mezz B and hopefully with the added resources, we wish you are able to check your e mail on a more regular basis. We understand some constraint and communication need not just by e mail but not forgetting that because you work on shift, it's more the reason that e mail communication is an important tool to reach you. Our objective of including you in the coming SW celebration is to offer you an opportunity to be actively involved in promotional events and idea sharing. Hope you shall cease the opportunity offered (now and future) to share and learn with the team.
thx..YYY
And my version goes this way.....(Warning: High Sense of pride and accomplishment ahead)
Dear XXX,
Arghhhhh...I surrender, ur reply was fool proof...No matter how I look at it i cant find a way to pin u down... This alone proved that ur talented...Thats why we need ur brain powere for our future growth...Please join us...Dont leave us please...We ...No No...I kow tau to u.....

My actual thoughts.....
YYY,
Who's ur daddy now eh u bitch??? Mess with the best die like the rest....Better be prepared before I kick the sorry ass of urs back to where u belong....
Hahahahaha...Crazy ain't it to suddenly recieve a request of explaination from the highest authority and not the one directly above u...I got freaked out, and my imagination ran wild...Yes those are my imaginations, the part where I re-wrote of course, but the mailing and the cold war was real....But i really wonder could this have been what really ran through my GM's mind when he was writing... I mean u know the part where he wanna screw me up but decided to maintain his image as the GM, and wanted to pin me down so badly, but i secured myself well....I know the truth is that I wanted a position in the department where no one else wanted to go, but the entire organisation is reluctant to give me that position... I have few clues why, but I will reserve my judgements for now...until things are less shady of course...Maybe he did try to pin me down so that he could have a good reason not to allow me to have the position i wanted...But since his first attempt failed, I guess he'll be waiting for me in the meeting room then...Round Two??? Dunno when.....Or maybe I'm just thinking too much...
