Trueblue's holiday mood

Why is it do we complain when we have so much work to do BUT on the other hand we whine when we have absolutely nothing to do? Yup, that’s my jackpot question today. I haven’t been doing anything productive for the past 2 days and now I am so bored to the point that I could just cry.

The thing is I’m not exactly searching proactively for things to do either. Tell my boss that I’m free and please assign me some work? Are you kidding? Who on earth would want to do that? Maybe those goody two shoes people out there but not me. Right now, I’m so not in the mood to voluntarily do any work. I’m bored and sleepy because I have no work but I don’t want to openly admit that to my boss either. So what else is there to do but just sit quietly at my cubicle, check emails, read some articles and surf the net.

I think December is really a bad month to work because people are already in their holiday mood. It’s the month where people want to finish off their annual leave. Not many people are in the office at the moment and the ones that are around are just finding the strength to make it through the day. I guess I do have some work but it requires deep thinking and so help me God, I just don’t have the energy to do that right now.

The immediate word that comes to mind is REST. It’s been a hectic year. I am physically and mentally tired. Not to mention bored with the same routine. My long awaited break is coming soon. I’ll be on leave starting the 14th (Thursday) until the New Year. So friends, surely you can understand why I just can’t be bothered this week? :)

I have one more day to go and then it’s Freedommmmmmm!!!!!!!!!

Hope you guys have a good break too. Enjoy your Christmas, New Year and Aidal Adha holidays.

I might still blog during the holidays if I’m up to it.

Take care folks and be good.

I like them clean

One of the good things about working in this building is that we always have clean toilets. And that to me is very important. The cleaners come about three times a day which is actually quite good. Keep them toilets clean, I say…

Once in a while we do get *shock-shock, horror-horror* moments. Imagine rushing to the toilet (you’ve been holding it for quite some time). You expect to just barge in and do your business. But wait, you can’t do so because *surprise*, there’s crap floating in the toilet bowl. I don’t know why and how people can forget to flush toilets. Just because the toilets have sensors doesn’t simply mean you can just wipe off your ass, pull up your pants and walk off. There should be a flush sound once you stand up so if there isn’t, you should know there’s something wrong. It doesn’t take more than 2 seconds to just turn and check if the sensor is working, right? If you’ve done your business and just realized that you can’t flush the toilet, then you are basically in deep shit. We can’t really blame you there BUT, at least have the courtesy to put a sign on the door and say “Toilet not working. Do not enter”..or something to that effect. At least we are forewarned about it and don’t get caught in surprise.

Coming back to the cleaners… they’re mostly from Indonesia. The ladies are nice and a friendly bunch. There’s this particular cleaner who I think is either a very happy person or really likes her job. Every time she comes to clean the toilets, she never fails to sing. And I tell you, she’ll really sing her heart out. It’s rather loud too. We are at our workstation and we can here her sing some Indo songs. The first time we kind of laughed about it but after 3, 4 times it got irritating. It is a distraction especially during the times when we’re really trying to concentrate. This is an office for goodness sake. It would be fine if she’s got a great voice and it’s a popular song but seriously…..even my 3 year old kid can sing better. I couldn’t stand it one day and asked her “Awak memang suka nyanyi ke?”. She replied “Ohhh..Bila sendirian, saya suka nyanyi, kak”. Well, that doesn’t mean she can sing so loud, right? *shhheeesshhh*

Anyway people, always keep your toilet clean. A filthy toilet makes you feel horrible. Just imagine those germs spreading around. Yuckadoo......
