Got no mood to work coz (1) its Monday, (2) its a warm day and (3) just no mood... so here I am... 2 more hrs to go b4 knocking off...
Went for our usual 3 times a year (used to be quarterly) meeting offsite this morning. Almost fell asleep if not for the noisy kitchen just beside our meeting hall, competing with each speaker's voice with cranking of utensils and crockeries, as well as the sound of water. Had to ask one of the waitress to convey the message across but it still continued on.
Finally had our sumptuous lunch and left to walk back to office. Who knows while we were walking down the escalator, was suprised to see my boss just behind coz I remebered seeing her still eating when we stood up. She must have panicked and quickly took her leave too (also cursing and swearing she did not finish her food!). We then quickly ran down the escalators when she's away from sight and rushed out of the building... She drove back naturally and we actually arrived in office earlier than her!!
Anyway, some awards were given out at the end of the meeting b4 adjourning for lunch just next door and ET (one of my dept colleague) got an award. I knew beforehand coz we sort of got him nominated thru our MD with the help of Patsy (another colleague from the Asia Pacific office) but heard that my boss actually told my another colleague she nominated him. Wabiang heard already wanna puke man... this kind of thick skin people also have... *bangs walls*.
Was talking to Patsy, and realised that many of us who had worked here for so many years, dun even have chance to get an award, whereby those newcomers were lucky coz they probably have better bosses who nominated them. Some joined only about a year and got an award... u tell me fair or not. But bo bian la, we just have to continue slogging and be seen. As long as we do our work and no one complains about us, getting an award may just have to wait (maybe till eternity...).
