In the company....

We had a company meeting yesterday evening. I can tell u that everything the boss said had a hidden meaning behind.

Boss : After going through the work done in the last few weeks, there is something i want to tell all of you..
Meaning : If I don't go through your work, who knows what horrors you all will do to the system, therefore i want to highlight ur dumb mistakes once again..

Boss: bla bla.. so as you can all see, if you do it in this way, imagine how many records will have been locked, causing a serious lack of resources and bla bla...
Meaning : Because of what you have done, we almost released a program that would have our customers sueing our pants off when thier whole system crashes

Boss : Can anyone answer this question?
Meaning: Anyone wants to show me that its not a total waste of hiring him?

'Boss : None of you gave an accurate answer. If I were your teacher I would have failed you guys, hahaha
'Meaning : There goes your bonus and increment for this year. (Insert evil laughther)

Haih

The beginning of a deary day. I left my handphone at home, and most probably on top of my rabbit cage. My bunnies will probably be chewing on it by the time I get back. sigh..... It isnt even lunchtime yet

Curse words

Hm, I for one seldom use any curse words. I used to hate it when people used them around me, but nowadays its so common that I'm used to hearing them used all around, even by girls and small kids. Anyway I heard on Hitz.fm today about using alternate words to express your frustrations. Some of the words suggested by the callers were quite funny. Take for example, someone suggested using the word 'fish' to replace the commonly used 'F***' Imagine someone going like "Oh FISH ! I missed the bus again, FISH it ! FISHHHHHH !"

Monday oh Monday......

I'm so sleepy... Somehow anything less than 8 hours of sleep is just not enough for me. WOrking seems to sap energy from my life.


Today I heard on radio about the DJ and his friend who would drive around the parking lot of the office and keep honking. Then all the office people who double parked would come rushing out to see if its their car blocking someone. Really, like that also can... should have done that during college days, but it probably would have been useless since the car park is not exactly near enough to the classrooms for any honking to be audible. I remember that double parkers usually leave thier handphone numbers on thier windscreens. The worse kind are those that dont, and even the security gueards cant do anything about them....then we would be forced to wait up to an hour for the owner to arrive. Such inconsiderate people deserve to have their cars scratched and dented.

Few days back I also read in the papers about this officer that is in trouble for failing a girl's driving because she refused to bribe him. About time they did something like that, I was also a victim of these greedy officers 4 years ago. I'd rather resit the test than put money in their pockets. I mean this has been going on for like how many years, its almost part of Malaysian culture.

Sigh, the boss still hasn't assigned work to me yet. Having nothing to so is fine, but sitting in a location where your boss can see everything that goes on at your monitor is not fine at all.... have to try to look busy even when I'm not

One hot afternoon during lunch hour....

(Everyone) : bla bla and bla .......
(QA person) : Say, I wonder who put all those strange names into our database
(Programmer) : What names?
(QA person) : Under suppliers, someone put names like Lala, Halo, XXYYZZ..
(Me) : (gulps) Uh, you can just delete those right?
(QA person) : No, that person also tied them to other records already, so they cant be deleted. Whenever we print out sample reports for the boss, those wierd names are all there.
(Me) :(Sweats)Oh I see....... (Tries to look innocent)

My weekend

Well I had a pretty busy weekend, I should say. Sat morning went to return my friend's graduation gown and collect my photos and cert in APIIT TPM. Went through their collection of pictures snapped on graduation day and found a few of myself and even one of my parents registering for the convo. There was alaos this pic of me trying to adjust that stupid hat. I tell you that hat was the bane of my life. Its too large and keeps dropping off or going senget. Had to pin 6 pins on it just to keep it in place. There were pics of gradautes throwing their motar boards up in the air. Too bad I missed that part, I actually wanted to do the same but also a bit afraid of losing the hat, hehe..that would be good bye to my deposit.

Well we were rushing to get the gown deposit, collect our transcripts and order the additional photos as we were going to catch a movie (Ghost train) later on. After rushing there and getting lunch, we got to the cinema just in time. The show wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, a good thing too.... but I didnt really get some parts of the story.

On sunday after church I had to dress up in that cumbursome gown again to take pictures with my grandfather and family. After that i went for another movie. Got home at 10, took my bath and went straight to bed. Well that pretty much sums up my weekend. Now that i'm working, I'm pretty desperate to fully enjoy my weekends, haha...

The area behind my office......

Just back from lunch. As soon as I sat down, I heard a guy yell loudly behind my office area. Must have been pretty loud for us in front of the office to have heard it. No one seems interested to investigate though. The lorong behind my office is a shady area filled with the sound of electric drills, speeding cars and banging noises. I think there is a car garage behind there. Just last week one of my collegues witnessed 2 parang wielding , bike riding criminals trying to rob a lady. FOrtunately they failed as other people in the area honked at them and scared them off. Looks like I won't ever be parking there, although its near to my office. Better just take a short walk everyday. Even the cleaner lady brought her son along today, her "bodyguard", she was saying. Its just not safe these days........

A day in the life of Me

A typical working day would start like this :

6:30 - Wake up for no reason, feeling extremely sleepy. Look at the time and realise its time to get up soon.....then go back to sleep.

The end of a long day

My 1st full salary is finally in ! Unfortunately there won't be much left after paying my dad back for petrol and toll costs + my phone bill. My mum even suggested I help her pay her car's road tax/insurance this year. T_T

There were 2 new guys in today. boss decided to giv them a long lecture on our system, and asked me to listen too. It lasted for the whole day......

Still alive after all

Was half dead when I reached home yesterday. Suddenly got fever after lunch, though not surprising as I already had sore throat and flu. The graduation ceremony must have been the last straw. So hot and packed full of people...and that heavy n hot gown was killing me ! So I went straight to bed after dinner and 2 panadols, and slept till this morning. Feel much better today.

Both today and yesterday I encounted drivers and made me want to throw something at them. Yesterday when I reached the place i normally park my car (beside the playground) there was this guy that just entered his car. I thought he was going to drive off so i waited behind. Then that fella saw me and motioned me to keep going. He kept waving his hand at me so I thought he wasnt going to go out after all, so I drove on. Right after I passed his car, he came out of the parking. I was like .....

Then this morning there was this taxi driver that stopped in the middle of a road next to a junction. He was blocking half of the road. There was still enough space for me to turn into the junction so I did. Then when I was about to pass his car from behind he suddenly reversed and almost hit me. LAter on when my car passed by his car he still had the nerve to glare at me like it was my fault. sigh, crazy drivers.......
