So what happened yesterday was.. in the morning, I was super free. MS had done my reports, the calendars I wanted to send out were insufficient, replied all my (personal) emails and the best thing was.. boss is on leave! Til next Tues! And when I was super free, Timmy went missing. The only time he ran off was the only time I was free =’( Or is it that I was free cos he went missing? Hmm.. can’t be. Cos I always had to juggle chatting with doing reports, answering phone calls and speaking with boss, going ‘chup’ every now and then. Never could give 100% to Timmy. And in that morn when I had totally nothing to do, he went missing too. Hai.. Then I wanted to upload my draft (the ‘confession’) but realized that it wasn’t in the pendrive. So was totally totally bored and spent the whole morn walking from cubicle to cubicle to chat =) (boss is away ma..)
And in the afternoon, Timmy came back, and so did the rest of the working community. To answer 1 call, I had to run back and forth the office. Cos we just changed places and my calls got diverted everywhere. Til everyone dunno who is calling and whose phone is ringing =D Then the same person kept calling, another dunno what he’s looking for, another can’t make up her mind and also dunno who she’s looking for, the 300 calendars were sufficient already and need to be counted, packed, labeled and dispatched and there was a stop press to be sent to big man for approval. See, it’s so frustrating, isn’t it? When I’m free, they dun wanna bug me. Disturbing my Timmy-time and also caused my draft to be abandoned! Annoying!
*****
While Timmy is understanding if I reply late and even pushes me to finish my work first, there are certain people who do not seem to understand that I receive a monthly salary to do client service, not as a full-time chatter. Why ask if I’m busy, cos even after saying that I am, a 1 minute delay in response is still punctuated with a ‘hello?’ or a ‘wei?’ Hello??! I could be on the phone, gone to the boss’ room or in the toilet! I do not have just 1 item on my computer screen. It’s 1 minute, for goodness sake!! Maybe it’s just my fault that my limited brain cells disabled my multi-tasking abilities.
I dunno which ticks me off more, that or the fact that I’m being pushed again. I actually don’t wanna answer, cos the questions pissed me off big time but most of the time, I don’t even know what the question is! When people are just trying to be nice, do not push your luck or take advantage. Always remember that, cos it’s seriously tiresome and irritating. I’m holding it, out of guilt. And sympathy will not be a good thing. Pleasantries are ok anytime, the soft-spot could still be there but please do not interrogate nor monitor me anymore. I feel that I’m being watched and my movements tracked all the time. I can’t breathe, though I’m supposed to be able to now.

I've moved to my new place, formerly James’. The better thing is that though it’s the first cube from the bosses’ rooms, I can see who’s coming at this angle. The bad thing is big man loves to talk to Shikin and he has to bypass our place to do so. Why can’t he just stay inside his room and not come out!! And it’s so freezing cold here. MS climbed up her desk today, before everyone else arrives, to tape up the air vent. Have to wear a jacket everyday, brrrr… And when it’s cold, you tend to get hungry very fast. Always thinking of the steaming nasi lemak with chicken rendang at ‘member’ price only to find the lady not selling for the past few days. Must have struck the lottery already. Brrrr….
I'm standing outside boss' room and the place you see straight on is mine!
From my place, I can see the bosses' rooms as well! So at least I can see them coming. Better than my colleague's who is on my left, no warning at all! *****
Latest addition: My tyre went flat this morning on the way to work. Hai, that is one very problematic tyre. It went totally flat in a matter of seconds and made such a loud noise. Though I knew that Timmy is too far away to get to Batu Tiga, plus the horrifying rush-hour traffic, still I called him first. Just wanna manja =)
So I called AAM. The sickening part was both times when I had flats, both times there was trouble with my phone. The first, I didn’t have battery. Today, it’s the still line-less phone. It’s like in those horror movies when you really have to make that call and no one can hear you on the other end. Sorta panicked for a while. Then thought I’d just try my luck with that extra sim card that as of last night, had still not been activated. Didn’t actually expect it to be! It was like a miracle cos it was dead for a few days, so God was really shining on me.
The wait took some time, but the tyre change was quick. I opened my itchy mouth and (sincerely) complimented the guy “Wah,you tukar cepat ya?” which he replied “You tak nak belajar ke?”. “Mau, mau, sekarang mau belajar la” when what I wanted to say actually was “Kalau I tahu tukar sendiri, nanti you boring takde kerja kat office” =p
Hai, really have to learn after this. But I have AAM what? Hail AAM! Good for the ladies (and men) who can’t change their own tyres. Marilah kita beramai-ramai menjadi ahli AAM, banyak faedahnya.
Gone mad already..
