established

“how the hell u gals can carry on working in that environment”

An exasperated comment made by my female owner’s friend while recounting a recent experience working with her former colleagues. The preceding conversation also stirred up a cauldron-full of resentment, bitterness, resignation and injustice to (bad sign – she still haven’t got over many things).

The conversation continued:

XX says: we are the Gen Y la..
FO says: coz i'm still wondering if i should have taken the sponsorship
XX says: we have already established that fact already..
FO says: that?
XX says: not sure u will be happy to be bonded if u were to take it up..
XX says: u must remember .. 1 yr of enjoyment.. u suffer for 3 yrs
FO says: at a cost of 150k
XX says: yes

A timely affirmation indeed. That short but crisp exchange caused my female owner to realise that she had established “that fact” many months before (guys are just so logical and decisive, they waste no time in pointing out what "is" and refuse to get sidetracked by speculative thinking). It’s just that she has not accepted the inconveniences/ consequences to her lifestyle that had resulted from her decision.

After so many months, my female owner is still ruminating over something that can't be changed. Somebody help her to get over it!
