My engine cannot start!

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

It’s Wednesday, my first working day of this week (had Monday off, Tues was Hari Raya, so had a long weekend to laze about). I’ve some stuff to do, nothing heavy duty, but CANNOT START my engine!!! URGH.

In the morning, came to work late (1 hour) but my bosses and other colleague was late. In fact, nearly everyone was so late that Yu Chin (my biz dvlpt mgr and the first in the office) called Lee Kheng (my other colleeague) to ask if there was actually work today! hahahaha.. Anyway, when we arrived, we chatted for a while, then boss called for a meeting. Have this interesting ‘life board game’ thingy to plan for in Sentosa so we spoke about that. Then came lunch and window shopping. Whole office went so we took lunch longer than usual…

Now it’s 3.30pm. Only 3 hours left before I go home to laze again. Ron’s coming to fetch me, so i reckon we’ll be having a pretty good dinner around town tonite. Can’t wait for work to be over today. Lately i’ve been soooo burnt out. I have been getting rest here and there, starting from the Xmas weekend, but to no avail! Sigh… dunno lah… maybe it’s coz sometimes bosses are bosses and they can be moody and their mood can swing. so maybe i’m not used to that.. will try and slowly get used to it lah.

But i still like my job, can say that safely. Love my bosses despite them having a boss attitude (but they’re one of the better bosses u can find out there says my colleague!). Love my colleagues.. they’re a fun loving bunch and we’re a very young group.. So i’ve nothing much to complain coz even my clients are cool ppl!!!!

Aaaah. yeah… complain time again… STUPID SCRIPT WRITER. On Friday, we finally had the long awaited Starhub Gala Dinner. Had rehearsals the whole day. I really think we wasted money spending $2000 on a sucky ’scriptwriter’ who helped us string OUR work together and claimed the credit for himself. It seems, he has advertised himself as a scriptwriter for hire on his webpage and has quoted us as one of his works. BLEAH. Some ppl skin can be thicker than pigs! Anyway, this is wat happened… The cast were reading together and they said they wanted to change one segment. he stared at me, expecting ME to come up with something! This time, i REFUSED! I told him, u’re the scriptwriter, u think! Then, got one time, i asked him to direct something, and he had the cheek to ask me if he had to do it! Again, i replied (rather sarcastically and outrightly this time) “U’re the scriptwriter wat!”. I had a BRIEF moment where i thought he was professional coz he wanted to stay for the show and help out, but u know wat he did at the end?!?!?!! He ate the WHOLE course of western set menu. Our dear fren hid in the kitchen, waited for food to be served, then ‘kop’ it to the backstage to eat, IN FRONT OF ME, while I was working my ass off. he could sommore tell me the food was GOOD! WAT AN IDIOT!!!!!! URGH. He will forever go into my black book as the LAZIEST ASS Scriptwriter! URGH!

Ok ok… with all this complaining, i think i can finally go back to work, *whew*, after i finish surfing my frenster, planning my homepage, talking on msn and after i make my tea, which should be around 5pm. hahahaha…

Still holiday mood lah. no choice.
