Once Upon A Time.... Attitude Hasn't Changed

Year - 1994
I was waiting for an appointment to meet a Local Government Department Officer for a building approval matters. Had been sitting there since morning waiting for the ubiquitous fellow to show up for work. I was seated next to a photocopy room where staff would come and go for document duplicating works, and also gossiping (second best to the most popular gossip center - the pantry).
Two ladies walk in apparently to make duplicates, but since two is the main ingredient for small talks, the task took a while. The loud whispers were bearable because it was non-juicy stuff. Then walked in a lone SYT, which apparently still new to the place and that explained why she was alone doing her jobs. She entered the room, and of course the whispers stopped, small formal pleasantries between them, then off the SYT went back to wherever she came from to continue with her other tasks.
The following was my recollection of the ladies juicy commentaries;
Lady 1 : She is new here?
Lady 2 : Yeah! She works so fast that made everyone else looks bad.
Lady 1 : Where she's coming from? DO you know?
Lady 2 : No. But she must be from 'SWASTA' company.
Lady 1 : Is she? No wonder.....
Lady 2 : She must be, didn't you noticed? She didn't use new paper for copying.
Lady 1 : You mean she recycle the paper?
Lady 2 : Yeah, she re-use the clean face of the paper for copying!! Hi hi hi
Lady 1 : Hik hik hik

I left soon after, realizing that the officer might not turn up for work that day. I still am 'SWASTA' to till this day.
