Irony

Omigawd!  My boss called me 4 a performance review session 2day (& I was juz mentioning abt it last nite!)!  Not as bad as I imagined, really! I over-exaggerated my imagination!

Funny, she had noted, recorded & shared quite a bit of my positive qualities, wc she had nvr once showed dat she appreciated it until 2day. It made me realise dat no matter who my boss is, I am still I. And I can nvr change. So I shld juz be I & not give 2 hoots abt any other being on planet earth! .  Of coz, der was ONE negative comment (wc she aint recording, but for formality sake, had 2 raise still)..she hoped 2 c an improvement on my punctuality (not dat I care! I'd expected it nvrtheless).  I took d opportunity 2 reiterate d fact dat my coming late doesn't translate 2 shorter working hrs, as I stay later den I shld despite coming late (for a reason!)...I oso reiterated dat while every1 breaks 4 lunch fm 1-2pm to rejuvenate, I carry on working @ my desk, wc unles she stay back 4 lunch, she'll nvr noe...but so many ppl noe!! So oh well, for formality sake, I tol her I'll try 2 show an improvement, but I've explained myself nvrtheless!  Guess wat peeps? Dun dream of any improvement! Haha...wicked!

Today is a gd day 4 me..Alhamdulillah..for once, day @ work was great!  I realised it only while reflecting my day 2 mom while watching TV juz now...If I didn't chat wif her on dis, I probably wldn't realise dat I had a wonderful time @ work 2day.

The highlight of THE DAY was:

An aggrieved customer, Mr Glen Baker, whom I handled his complaint & resolved his grievance in May 05, emailed me saying he'll be transiting in S'pore & wld like 2 meet me & thank me & my team for the follow up 2 his unpleasant encounter.  If it's not possible, he would understand. *on cloud 9*

I feel genuinely appreciated, after so long.  I think I shld print that email & keep it.  I noe I won't be mtg him la ... coz, I was juz doing my job, it's juz fortunate dat my lil effort made a difference to him.  But wen I think back, wat if he turns out 2b a rich, young, handsome & single chap?  Wasted rite? *winkz*

Guess wat? Mom came up wif a new Sat itinerary 4 us (she & I)...every Sat from dis wk, once I wake up (abt 11am), I wash up & have b/fast..den we shall go down & wash my car. Oh, did I tell u Dad is not fit already (he's growing old la!) .. Two Sunday ago, he got in2 trouble wif health while washing d car, I had 2 walk 2 the nearby multi-storey carpark where he washes d car at...coz he cldn't drive back (not fit). *sigh* Stubborn la he...tol him he shld juz wash d car at our carpark... @ least if anything happen, he's ez 2 reach. Also, hav been telling him he shldn't over-tire himself by doing too many things on Sun ... jogging 1st thing in d morning, followed by washing d car & den sweep d house! Dat's his Sun morning routine. Finally, mom came up wif dis idea dat we shant let him wash d car anymore...we shall wash d car on Sat ourselves since we're free! Not a bad idea ... Sat recreation activity!

CONCLUSION: I'm not mtg Mr Glen Baker, nvrtheless.  I politely declined his offer.
