Serious mode

I am extremely sleepy. I am fighting the urge to just take out my cushion and blanket and curl on my carpet and have a snooze. There's hardly anyone around. The PA's on leave, my next door colleague is busy attending her clients and my little boss has been lured to Ike@ by her husband. Lest you think that we here makan gaji buta saja, rest assured (especially you MG), when we work, we really work hard. Try juggling between seeing clients, lecturing and supervising the trainees, doing research (supposedly. Bab ni i lemah sikit) and doing admin work. If we here do not have the freedom to sekali sekala disappear or indulge ourselves in sesi tenggiling, i would have gone crazy a long time ago. This job which allows this flexibility (unofficially. Don't let the biggest boss know about this) is what made me decided a long time ago that i would not have it any other way. If i do indulge myself in sesi tenggiling, i may risk being left all alone here until night time kalau tak terdengar alarm berbunyi and with no one to kejutkan i.

Just a moment ago i surfed the Air@sia website...tengok2 for any good bargains etc. Planning for holidays excites me. Out of 10, mungkin satu je yg menjadi. You see, i married a man who is into military precision. There is no such thing as grabbing the RM15.99 ticket to KB at the click of the button. By the time MG tengok schedule kalau boleh ambik cuti, check internet 10kali for the best hotel, things to do etc., that best deal yg RM15.99 most probably dah jadi RM159.99! Humph! That's what happened to the KB RM400 for 3 adults and 2 kids airfare deal. MG couldn't decide dan dan tu jugak if he can/wants to come along, therefore at the click of the mouse i'm going with a friend and he's looking after the kids, haha.

One factor that contributed to my sleepiness today was because of this information i had from a colleague. According to this little birdie, 1 senior colleague of ours has commented that i am not serious at work (or rather at workplace B) so unlike the Baung. He also said that he's going to have a word with me. My bubble was burst. It's true, i'm not a serious person. I have to keep myself amused or else i'd go crazy. Nak je cakap kat si Mamat tu, well hello, for your info, Baung complaints all the time about having to go to workplace B. (FYI, just because i was back at work last week, he excused himself from the thurs afternoon session at workplace B). He grumbles all the time about not having enough support dlm segala bentuk etc. and wants me to threaten the establishment that kalau tak dapat support by so and so we'll withdraw our services. Haiyoh! Still this is not about the Baung...this is about me, the class joker...itu la, kalau banyak gelak either you tembam (terlebih angin) atau people question your credibility at work. I guess, instead of gelak cam pontianak yg confuse, i should start grubling, just to appear serious. That kept me awake last night.

So this morning i came in and announced to the little boss, from now onwards since i dah kena tegur, i'll be in a serious mode. So, if i shut my office door, keeping quiet, i may not necessary be doing anything wothwhile, but you bet i'll be serious about it! If that guy does come to me to have 'a quiet word' with me, i will resist the temptation to kick his balls (how dare he!) and just say, i have lost the zest for teaching or operating, in fact of doing any work at all. All i want to do is to go home and tido or watch Astr0. But since, i have my hutang keliling pinggang, i just have to carry my big arse to work every morning, still.

(The little boss and next-door colleague said, what?? You're going to be in a serious mode??? So boring lah!! Well, at least i know i'm loved by some people, me the class joker)
