Thursdays at work are exciting. We now have an "end of the week incentive". We are allowed to leave any hour early, in return for cutting short our lunch break by half hour. Fair enough.
It is not surprising to get persistent calls from banks trying to give away "free credit cards". But today, I had another interesting call.
Ring Ring...
Shu: Hello?
X: Hai
Shu: Yes hello? Who is this?
X: Hai
Shu: May I know what this is regarding?
X: Friendship
Shu: No thanks, I'm not interested. (hangs up. $^&*@@@.)
This caller has been saved as "Asshole 3" in my contacts. Just so I remember not to pick up any calls.
I've spotted a rather skinny (and possibly pregnant) cat in the office car park several times. So now, believe it or not, I carry two tins of cat food in my bag, waiting for the day I spot her again. Uh-oh Shu, you're turning into one of those old ladies who feed strays!
I sit next to one of the network printers. In a day, many people come and go past my desk as they collect their printouts. One man (heavy user), however, seems to think I am the sole guardian of this printer. Whenever the printer runs out of paper, he ask me "No paper?". And I think loudly, "Does it look like I have a stash of paper hidden away especially for you, moron??". Also, in the many months I have sat there, not once have I seen this man walk a few extra metres to get a few extra packs of paper, for the convenience of others. I've been tempted ask him several times, "Why don't you go down and get some extra paper, for a change?". But I've kept my mouth shut, fearing repercussions.
Rihanna is slowly growing on me...
On a positive note, I've moved to the Town of Digby in Mousehunt to catch the Digby Dirt Dwellers and I have not been disappointed! So many new types of mice!

Woohoo! I shall be waking to welcome u to the Rihanna fan club shu! :)
ReplyDeleteThink I'm already her fan! Somehow, she is one of a couple of people to whose songs I can actually sing to, because of their range of notes! I can't sing along to high frequency ones. Also, I think one of concerts will be worthwhile going to (unlike Usher's :P)
ReplyDeleteKaty, it took us about two years, but we are two months away from seeing Rihanna in the flesh!! :D
