On-going joke...

Let me just be totally honest... This whole thing feels like a joke. It's just not funny anymore. Everytime something happens, it's like it's jinx. My Boss is jinxed, I'm jinxed. Even back in FO of RCKL when I worked briefly with my Boss then, I spoke to him about being "jinxed". He then explained to me what it means being jinxed.

We're back here again, today, like we're jinxed. Okay, not us. The building. It's one thing after another for our operations to jam up like that. Today was the last straw. Yes, life's not fair.

First, people leave sensitive information lying around and next, being the curious person I am, how can I resist these kinda temptation?

Second, my lobby was flooded with loud speaking people and my phone lines jammed and my lift stopped and so many things was happening at the same time, I felt like I was slapped left, right, up, down, front, back, above, below... Sigh...

And furthermore, the guy blamed my girl for a faulty line. He said she kicked the connection on the socket. And that got to me. That was it. It was my mistake, my error, my fault! I totally blew my top when I focused on the problem and not the solution. I yelled back at him saying as if we were new born babies with nothing better to do than to disturb connections on the sockets.

There were a total of 20 people in my lobby at the same time. All speaking at the same time. It felt as it the building was going to come down on me. At that particular time, my favourite couple, called my mobile to say the lift isn' working. (Of course the lift isn't working... AGAIN)

I said to him, "You hear the commotion around me? These people are trying to bring the building down, with you in it!!"

He responded with well-oiled Brit humour. He laughed.

Yes, silly little sod... me... I try to laugh everything off. But having that amount of noise in the lobby was final. My pure, pristine, undisturbed lobby, now the "usual suspects" have tainted that with intollerable volume of tongue wagging and with smell of excessive perspiration.

I had a quiche and went back to work.... after the ordeal was over. About after an hour or so... Sigh...

If you know how much I'm being paid to do this job, you will think I'm joking. I'm not. I'm serious about my work and I don't need to lie about my pay. Keeping your salary a secret is a myth. It doesn't work that way anymore.

So much for being around for 14 hours a day. We are all human and is working for money. At the end of the month, we (oh, well, I mean, I) only want to see some monetary amount. Some kinda satisfaction.... Even if I know I don't have the time to go shopping or to spend any bit of it, it's still something and I can write a bigger cheque for Mother's Day or Father's Day.

It's been an amazing journey and I've learnt a lot. I really cannot complain much more... I rest my case.

Melly is on marriage leave and will be back on Friday. Thankfully it is my day off on Friday. TGIF.

I cannot take this 14 hrs shift everyday any longer. I have Friday to look forward to... Remind me that, I forget sometimes....

I'm still not over the fact that I have missed out on F1 weekend, that I totally forgot it was F1 weekend. No wonder Kimi's car tyre blew.. I wasn't praying and hoping for his victory. He didn't feel me there.... (heh)
