Today's Happenings

Started off the work day with a hearty laugh for my colleague NE and I. I was going to write 'jangan staple' (meaning do not staple) on a small piece of paper I usually attached with the tracing paper I needed the printer to print out using their printer into blue prints. But I ended up writing 'Jangle'. I showed NE and both of us laughed until like there is no tomorrow.

My colleague KY forgot he had stepped on dog’s pooh pooh at the project site before he came to office. How could one forget when the smell stinks so badly? He kept on apologising profusely. Thank God for the office boy cum part-time cleaner to clean up the smelly mess. At that time even the ammonia printing pungent smell smelt better.

Another Fillipino part-time cleaner who works only on Friday afternoons brought her daughter who graduated from airline management in the Philippines to work as well. The cleaner wanted the bosses to hire her daughter to work in our office. The bosses asked me whether I need an assistant after I was summoned into their room after lunchtime. I told them not the new graduand. Am I being mean and do not want to give her a chance?

I would give her a chance if I have the time to train her. But frankly speaking I do not even have enough time to go to toilet each day, how can I spend precious time training someone whom her accent I can hardly understand?

I do need an assistant period. But one that does not need to be supervised or told what to do, ie. one who can work independently and is proactive all the time. That sort of person is difficult to find nowadays, especially with the mentality (couldn’t care less attitude) of the new generation.

Have migraine in the afternoon and slight fever in the late afternoon.

After shower, migraine decreased while fever increased. Will go to dreamland early again tonight.
