This so reminds me of Wu Qing Kang's book 2359. Think I finished the night book, but not the day one, since sis and I each took a book to read, and the one I had with me was the night one. Shall read that someday when I'm free.
Gary said that day, and then Koon last night, that I should try to think of something positive, so that I can survive through.. So, since I'll still be a receptionist at least for the next few days (I doubt it'll be the whole month) I might as well aim to be.. the MOST outstanding receptionist! Who cares about lousy irritating stupid colleagues?
That said, it's not exactly true that everyone of my new colleagues are lazy useless bossy bums or hateful dumbos (no, not idiots, cause idiots are reserved as endearing terms for my preferred friends, not people I hate). Apart from the friends I knew even before this (ie. Dons, Teck San, Legal people etc), yesterday wasn't that bad cause of my 'supervisor', this 'little' 19 year old boy. Ok, I guess Jeremy doesn't behave any bit like he's younger than me. On the contrary, he feels older than me. The day always seem to not be as awfully long when you have people whom you can chat with, or rather, people you prefer chatting with. Perhaps I'm just a stuck-up obnoxious one, but it's really nice to have Jeremy at the reception! Even if Jeremy doesn't see this, I still want to say a huge 'Thank You!!!!' for making my day, and of course, to prevent me from strangling some stupid colleagues, otherwise I'll need to employ Kum Fu after just a mere 2 days of work! =)
In line with my aim to be the most outstanding receptionist, I should also dress smartly, even if standing for so many hours kills my feet. And so, I went out shopping for shoes today! Two pairs of high non-chunky heels (though not high enough, in my own opinion), one pink and one black. I still need another white one! Actually, trying to dress smart affects my wallet most! Argh, I'm poor again! Wonder when Rodyk will send me my cheque for PLC fees..
To the gal who was apologising furiously on your blog. Actually, I was quite pissed that day, because of work and because my friend asked me again. Otherwise, I'm not that badly pissed now, so don't worry! Just needed an outlet to vent, and blogs are the most useful without hurting others, at least I think so.
Sometimes, time really changes a lot of opinion. Do you think that by 'meddling' in the affairs, you're actually helping? Perhaps you are, to the other party. But you just make me hate you even more. I guess I'm just easily jealous, but you know the feeling that a friend doesn't really care about you or rather cannot be bothered, but seems to be more concerned about another? You just gave me that feeling again. Much as I said I cannot be bothered again, it's still not a nice feeling, and you just make me hate you even more for making me unhappy. Next time if you want to contact me for anything other than for yourself, maybe you just shouldn't? Cause my immune system can only take that much, yah?
Things to look forward to next week: Better performance as receptionist on Monday, Tuesday dinner with one of my dear friends, and training at International Plaza on Friday! I sure hope we don't have to go back to work after training (which is probably so, given that the course supposedly ends so close to knock-off time). Let's see, I may then get to pop by Arul Chew and see Adrian and Annie? I guess lunch would probably be with my other colleagues (cannot be anti social) otherwise, I can ask either of them out for lunch, or even my cousin! Can't remember which building he works in though. Hmm...
PS: Haven't seen another dear friend online in a while, or rather, haven't really had the chance to really chat with him. Despite me whining and whining like a spoilt brat, I didn't overlook your less-than-happy mood too, k? Since I can't type this directly to you, I just hope things have improved. A person's talents do not vanish into thin air. Once a while, they're just hidden amongst other things. I'm sure that's the case for you, so don't despair. In any case, just remember there's always the most adorable innocent likeable little one here (that reminds me of Jeremy's sms today.. he actually described himself as 'the one and only intellectually brilliant'.. Maybe he doesn't behave that old.. haha) will always be around to cheer you on whenever you need, k? *hugz* =)
