Another 10days, there will be this StarWalk 2008 held in PISA. I am one of the contestants .. I really thought I am ... but with the stupid bomb shell from my HR .... I won't be joining this event anymore.
Well, on one particular day, while having lunch with my colleagues,we talked about StarWalk, and my HR is asking those who are interested to join this to submit the form to them, and my company will sponsor 150ppl on first come first serve basis. So we filled up the form and pass to HR. After the deadline, we heard nothing back from HR. So we are in.
We started to discuss on when to start practising, and for those who know me well enough, you will know that I walk more than I run hahaha. Back in 2 years, I walked from Jubilee to LeapFrog, the distance is about 5km, in an hour. So with this StarWalk, which requires contestants to walk 10km within 2 hours, it is as easy as ABC to me.
But 2days ago, HR sent an email, listing down those who representing Jabil to join this event, and BOM... my name is not in the list, so do my friends. This is totally unacceptable. So we phoned and dropped email to the HR girl, and the reply we got is "sorry, your name exceed the first come first serve 170ppl, so you are not eligible for this" WTF ... how can HR being so irresponsibile? Ok, I know I am not among the 170ppl, so what? So does it mean that I am not eligible to join this event although I am willing to pay RM12 myself? This stupid HR girl just dropped our forms without even notifying us. If by the time when we submit the form, we had been informed that we need to pay for ourselves instead of joining free, we still can accept it. But with this stupid HR, and I know, with all the pressure and unhappy stuff at work, I was mad at this and sent a simple email to this girl, but I got no reply from her after 5pm. So I dropped her another email, and CCing to her manager. All I want is an explanation, I am sure that there are others who didn't get the chance to join as well, but they just didn't voice it out. Let me be the hero in here. How can HR being so irresponsible? This is common sense that they need to notify us up front before the deadline that we are not selected, and if we still want to join, we need to fork out $$. Is this so hard?
So, today, we received an email from them, apologizing for this, and in the email, they specificly mentioned that 5 of HR guys drew up and let us have their seats, and it is non-competition, which mean that if we completed the 10km walk, there will be no cert and not eligible for lucky draw. I lost my mood in here now, and do not think of joining this again this year. I rejected the offer of course. The girl screwed up and she drags along 4 other HR guys. And the thing that I hate the most is, she not even apologize. It is her senior who replying my email. Haha, with me escalating her, I guess she will remember me forever ...
But I feel very sad that I am not able to join this this year. She let me feel high and the next moment pull me back to the ground. Fuck her.

Ooh ooh, this is the very 1st time I see you being so enthusiastic about physical sports. :D
Join me for Penang Bridge Marathon Run next year, OK? :D
Walk and run are totally different thing ok? And one of the main purpose I wanted to join this event so much is that ... cuz of the lucky draw
You're indirectly rejecting my invitation? :(
And what is the prize that you're craving about so much?
Yes, cuz you are not my type, and I don't want to go on a 'date' with you.
The funny thing is, I don't know what are the prizes .... this makes this event much more interesting to me .. but now no more ... shit
