Tough Day

It started in the morning. I was late (as always), I just came in and heard my desk phone ringing, I run to catch but to no avail. So I dialed our department secretary's number. It was not her but I got scolded for being late today and yesterday hahaha I was kinda pissed with the thought of its double standardness (is there such a word?), she who came in at 1215pm has the gal to tell me that she didn't take her lunch thus she know that me and my friends came in very late. So I just hmmmed and ahhhed. I tried not to let it get to me but the thing is, my day didn't start out right.

Later that morning, she called me again to inform me that my boss has instructed her to print my weekly reports. And she just wants to let know --- that my boss is watching me! Excuseeeeeeeeee me! She later on asked about my teammate A and told me what the new manager said, blah blah, I told her to ask me directly since the new manager is not the one communicating with A. Of all the things I hate, is for people to talk behind somebody's back. I will appreciate it more if you just tell it to my face! So that took the fun out of my lunch time.

Mid afternoon, my boss called me to configure his Blackberry but it got some problem. Since I was still liasing with Sister C to follow up with the TelCo, I brought it along with me while I take my time-off (I needed to go somewhere). An hour after, I received phone calls as to where I am, where's my boss' BB. OMG! That same secretary knows that I am on time-off but chose not to understand my email to her and blam! My boss whacked me for bring the BB along even though my intention was to configure it while I was away. I wanted to hit 2 birds in one stone! But, I was the one who got hit with WHY's?! And, a sermon about lack of understanding of customer expectation! Crap! That really riled me! If I didn't want to serve him, my customer, right. I would have given back the BB to him and told him that the Telco has not activate it.

Whew!

Now, I just want to cry. Seriously, to release this stress. But, tear ducts seem to tell me that it's not worth it!

I just pray that tomorrow is a better day! But, I will probably have a continuation of that sermon about lack of understanding of customer expectation. Please pray for me.

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
