Letter: A stealer

Dear Kanigi,

How are you? Coping with life as usual?

Or coping with your anger as usual? =)

I know you are pissed about your colleague unabashedly took your matched carpet colours and passed it off as his own efforts. I know how, to a designer, important it is to find perfectly matched materials to compliment your design.

You felt that it was you who took the carpet samples from the supplier, and out of the 6 colours in the series, you are the one whom matched this two together, forming a most appropriate colour combination and contrast.

Hence it is not fair he steals your work, and reuse it repeatedly in 3 different projects. (Dont he feel bored yet? Or is the colours really that nice? Or is he plain lazy?)

He seems to be going around different projects, and announcing to everyone whom would listen, that this is going to be his signature carpet from now on.

Nothing wrong if it is really his carpet, but it is very wrong because the carpet is yours.

Poor kanigi, you say you are stuck in assisting your manager, where you dont get to select any finishes, and hence you take materials selection very seriously.

Now, dont take it to heart. You always have so little confidence in yourself, and look, what you select caught the eyes of your colleague and he is not ashamed to use it, though he is ashamed of admitting the theft.

You must have certain skills or talents to be able to get others to follow your style. Look on the bright side. If you are no good, no one will even bother.

With love,
kanigi
