reading behind the lines
I'm just a little into four months in my new job and there's already a complaint that I am a biatch and out of line. See, recently the company underwent a rebranding exercise and came up with new logos and such. So they decided to centralize the printing of stationeries at HQ to ensure uniformity, bla bla bla.
I sent out a mail that read 'We will only be centralizing the printing of office stationeries for letterheads, envelopes, complimentary slips & calling cards. For other eg computer forms, payment vouchers, invoices, etc that you require for your respective companies, it is not feasible or cost effective to print in KL only to spend extra in freight. As such, I have attached the revised logo for you to do the necessary with getting quotes for the items you need additionally. Do let us know the pricing though.' to the respective PIC in the subsidiaries.
Fast forward... I get summoned by the woman simply to be asked if I sent out a mail to say that I'm very busy and I can't be looking into the printing of stationeries so please bugger off and go play far-far.. She wanted to be copied on all email I send out re administrative issues, etc etc etc. Then she tells me that someone someone said my so called mail was rude (the tone of it. Hmm, maybe they read it loud and angry??) and that I have gone out of line and I am a biatch (well she didn't exactly say the word biatch but I know what it meant lah)...
So, tell me? Read between, behind, under, above and where-have-you and pray tell me, your interpretation of my mail...
I am not to bothered about how people want to interpret or misinterpret what they read but I am simply annoyed at how duh they can be. Conpuse aku!!??
And my evil twin is updating my 'board of bitch' on my latest accomplished. I'll put a pic of the BOB when I get it from her...

berry berry bad...
Have you ever wondered how we would get by a day without our mobile phones? How many of us can actually survive without the mobile phone?
Some time back (prior to my employed status) I used to go out without tugging along my mobile. Yes, I know its called a mobile for a reason but hey, it's my life!! A quick dash out for lunch or just jalan-jalan cuci mata, I'd come back to probably a couple of messages and occassionally a missed call.
And now in employment, I have to bring my BB everywhere!! And I found out the dire consequence of leaving it behind even just for a second.
Two weeks back, there was a company event. After the set-up and running around in the morning, I made a quick dash to my hair-dressers to get my hair & make-up done. Like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, I kept bugging them to hurry up & sounded very much like "Quick, quick, I'm late! I'm late!"
I was supposed to be back at the hotel at 530pm. 500pm I'm still on the other side of town. I drive like crazy in the rain and reach the hotel in time. Then as I am driving, I am thinking that I hear my BB but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Ahhhh, screw it!! I reach the ballroom, grab my things, make a 100m dash in my 5inches Giuseppe. And as I am running, I hear "Why didn't you answer your phone?" and as I am running I'm screaming "I would if I can find it".
I grab a colleague, give him my car keys and ask a favor of him to search for the effing BB. He searches, comes back and tells me "Errr, I called your number. You left it at the hair salon".
"Effing ef...ah, screw that. See if you can call them again and ask them to send it here. I'll pay for the cab fare"
No such luck. They are not answering my phone. (Must have locked it in the drawer for safe keeping or something). Tried calling my hubby but he's in the foulest of moods & not effing answering my calls. Oh well, the show must go on.
Next day - Sunday later in the noon I go by the salon to pick up my BB. What am I faced with? 18 missed calls, forgot how many BB instant messaging & a barrage of messages. And what? I only left it for 5 hours.
What would happen if I left it behind for a good whole day?? I shudder just by the thought of it.

calling all angels...
Have you ever been in a situation where you are at a mall or at a restaurant where you already got the stuff you wanted to buy or finished your meal, then realise that you have no purse, no money?
I got into that situation a while back. The daughter & I went for dinner at a nice little bistro, cafe or whatchacallit. We order our food & the guy behind the counter is calling out the orders to the kitchen. They are preparing the food as the cashier is punching the amount into the cash register.
I reach into my bag to take out my purse to pay. Rummage, rummage, rummage - purse not there. I peek into the bag and calmly shift through my check-books, keys and what-nots that I have in my bag. Purse still not there... I ask the daughter "Where's my purse?"
"Err, I don't know" comes the reply...
"Shit!! Where the eff is it?"
"Alamak dik, I tertinggal my purse lah. Kat rumah kot. Do you take checks?" (stupid question yes I know but hey...)
He smiles...
"I'll just make a quick dash & bring my purse from home. I'll leave my daughter here" (bad mother? hmmmm???)
So I brave the horrible jam to make it home & back to the eatery in effing 30 minutes (which would normally take me less than 10) only to realise that my purse is neither in the car, nor the house and obviously not in the bag. I'm cursing, I'm swearing & I'm hoping I didn't drop it somewhere.
To cut a long story short, I went back to the place, paid for my meals, ate my non crispy toasted sandwich and drank my already cold hot latte.
This time, the place was near to the house. What if this happened somewhere in town where it would take me an eternity to get home & back (anything that involves driving more than half an hour is an eternity to me)?
Do I have friends I can call and say "Hey, I'm stuck here with no moolah to settle my bills. Can you do me a favor & come by to pay?"??
Reveal thyself and I shall put you on my speed-dial.
