Blackout!

I walked into the office with a full bag of caution. As I dragged my feet closer to the entrance of the office, I tip-toed to steal a peek of whether my boss had come into office.

BIG SIGH!!!! Because he had reported for work earlier than me!!!!!!!

I pretended not to see him in the office although his door is less than 5 steps from my work-desk. I quietly went to the pantry to get my flask of water and again, dreaded the moment that I had to officially start my Monday.

Why must I be so quiet leh????

Because, my boss kinda scolded me over the email during the weekend. BUT, whatever he mentioned in the email wasn't directed at me. I hope he remembered that the mistake he mentioned wasn't done by me but my colleague. I was so good-hearted that I offered to send the email on her behalf because all of us were rushing home last Friday. WA LAU! ALL of them packed their bags so much last Friday lor!!!As if there was fire in the office and they were rushing for their lives... =.=! Left me in the office to pick up the ends, frantically packing up and also praying ultra hard that boss won't finish his meeting so fast.. Luckily, I dashed out before he walked in ah!!!!!!

Anyway, I was scared that I would be scolded by him. Actually, he won't scold.. Remember I said he said he hates to work with stupid people?? I hate people to doubt my intelligence, that is why I tried very hard to make myself work smart andraise smart questions. So stressed leh! More stressed than teaching with Mr J in the classroom.

Mmm.. I used all my cute charm (lol :D) and took great care when I walked into his office. Heng ah! He asked me if I want him to be nice or be angry. Of course nice right? Because it is Monday today hehe :p That was what I told him, hohoho.. I even told him to take a deep breadth and calm down before he start to 'shoot me down'. I can't believe I actually did that! Like not serious right? But, well.. I don't know what came over me.

In the end, I succeeded asking questions which he couldn't answer! Does that mean I am smart finally? Wink wink. I was really blunt, but who cares? He said words are cheap, and things can change every minute. I think he gave up in the end. And, I supposed we had been working on this irritating project for the past I don't know how many weeks, and he could be really tired of always back to square one when he thought we are approaching the end of the project. So, he said he will make the changes himself because it is faster that way rather than he explained to me what to do. Hmp.

I spent the rest of the day helping my colleague (the one who got scolded in the email on Saturday) check her work. Phew. I managed to finish it just before 5.30pm, otherwise it is dumb to stay back on the 1st day of 7th Lunar month to do some really dumb work.

Did I say that half way through the afternoon, my office went black-out? The first word that I uttered, "WIN!"

Luckily I wasn't making amendment on the PC, luckily I wasn't writing email, luckily I wasn't preparing any report... because who would constantly save their work??? I can't imagine what went through my boss' mind when the office had the black-out. He MUST be making the changes in the shared drive and I bet he did not save any work.

The office went to a standstill because practically all of them are dependent on the internet.

Seen Die Hard 4?

What if really one fine day, the internet would to be down? With so many of us all linked up by technology, how will your life be affected by a day without technology?

Anyway, ALL of us dashed off home at 5.30pm sharp again today. We had to leave the office because boss comes back from his meeting otherwise, we can't go home on time...
