'tis another day..
TGIF? nope. not today. today it's FHIF. What does it stand for? Freaking hell, it's friday. Needless to say, i'm having a super bad day today. and it alllll started since morning. how the heck can so much evil start so earli in such inhumanely earli hours? well dun ask me, i'm equally baffled by it all. let's start:
1) i left the house at a ltr time than usual (due to e bk i juz bought. haha it's such a great bk n i was so damn captivated by it tt i forgot abt e time. so there. but no natter how charming the little bk was, it wasnt enuf to put me outta my misery)
2) the stupid bus came late.
3) i realized at e end of e trip tt i din haf enough value in my dumb ez-link card for the next trip. as if tt wasnt traumatizing enuf, i found out tt i din haf enuf coins. disgusting.
4) so i took a cab since i was running late n i din wanna ask e pple arnd to exchange coins for notes. call me stupid, proud or watever, but i juz couldnt bring myself to ask. so i took a cab. but had to pay an extra charge of $4. $1 cos it was in the morning n during peak hrs n $3 cos i took a cab frm the changi airport region. for goodness sake, i hailed a cab BEFORE the airport police station. so technically, i wasnt even at changi airport yet la. but of cos the driver didnt believe me. plus he HAD to rub it in by saying tt there wouldnt have been an extra charge of $3 if i had hailed a cab further down the road. well, thx a lot, mr cab driver. i certainly am enlightened. well i salute u n ur freaking cab. and i hope tt u get to buy a better brain (one that actualli works) with tt extra 3 bucks.
5) so the trip costed me $7.70. for a 5 min journey. i dare say it was worthwhile, dun u think? *rolls eyes* sux. then i went to the office. trying hard not to bring my personal unhappiness n affairs to work. cos i've always believed tt personal affairs and work shldnt be mixed. so i thought my day JUZ MITE turn for the better.
6) well, guess again. Sheryn (the woman who's supposed to be delegating tasks to me every day - i've even stopped calling her the 'lady' cos i didnt think she was elegant or smart enuf to deserve it) called me on the office phone n said 'are u in the system?' i was abt to say 'hell, yeah' when i held my tongue. so i said 'yup'. then she said 'ah i need to update smth but i can't cos u're in e system. so can u ah get out of it so i can update my papers?' (c the thing is, if someone is in the system, which means doing smth to the excel spreadsheet on another comp in another a/c, then another person can't do anything but read the document. e person wun be able to save any changes n do any updating. it's a damn screwed up system if u ask me)
anw, u noe wat, lady? u can freaking go to hell with u n ur papers.
a toast then, to u n ur papers n the management. oh, not to mention, of cos, the warped n twisted system. i hope u all rot in hell.
then i blatantly asked her 'then what am i gg to do?' she said 'eh... well i got 2 names tt havent been updated at all in the database. do u wanna come downstairs to find them n update their particulars?'
i mean, come on, u're not exactly giving me any choice here, are u? so i juz said yes.
therefore, i went allll the way downstairs (e desk i'm sitting at - wouldnt call it mine - is located at lobby C, 3rd floor, while the desk she's sitting at is located at lobby A, 1st floor.) so in other words, it's a looong way down. just for 2 freaking names. so i tell myself, oh well, better than nth rite. so yes, i went down like a gd girl.
once the rest of the pple in e office saw me there.. i was suddenly so damn popular. cos they all wanted me to bring some papers up there. so i said ok, since i'll be gg up soon. but i still needed to wait for sheryn's instructions be4 i went upstairs. i mean, i didnt wanna go up only to go back downstairs again. then while i waiting, this other colleague said, 'u havent gone up yet, right?' i shook my head, then she said, 'dun forget, ok? it's v urgent.'
well then. urgent isnt it? i had such an urge to juz tear e paper into pieces n drop them into the dustbin beside me la. right in front of her face. if it's so freaking urgent then go up urself. man, i was dying to say tt n watch the colour fade frm her alr pale face la. but i decided to be nice. n smile. 'of cos i wun forget' i said. i mean, of cos, how can i forget it. since it's so urgent n all. i'm so honoured n i'll definitely deliver the papers to the person's doorsteps, be it rain or shine. besides, i'm faster than DHL.
ok i noe i sound like a rotten brat at this very moment. but i juz wanna vent it out somewhere. so i guess my blog would be mooost suitable. hm i feel better alr.
but things got a teeny bit better. in fact, rite now, i'm using the internet. at my desk. at the comp at MY desk. not the web lounge. guess y? haha cos i changed comps? nope. guess again.
haha then again, i've changed my mind. ask me personally if u'd like to noe. it's dumb, reli. but kinda smart too. i pat myself on the back n tell myself, gd job done. so now, i hope nobody's peeking over the cubicle walls.
anw it's rude to do so. so those who look in when they're walking by..
piss the hell off.
