Tuesday's mood

It's the second day of the week. Still a bit blurred. Probably because I slept really late last night. And I mean really LATE. I was supposed to go to bed early. Got home at around 11.30pm. Took dinner and a bath. Sat there and watched TV. By the time I dragged myself to bed, it was 2.30am. I was thinking, "Finally, I can rest." But it was too darn hot. I rolled around and around and around until 4am. I don't even remember how I managed to tell my body to fall asleep.

As expected, I woke up late again today. To be honest, I woke up early. Off the alarm clock and slept for another hour. Late for work, but I don't think boss will start screaming, seeing that I left office after 11pm last night. It's not his fault, I just could not wake up this morning, of I just didn't want to.

Anyway, he was in a good mood this morning. Mumbled something to us, which none of us understood. Everyone just nodded so that he would not repeat himself. 75% certain of what he wants, but sometimes the 25% would probably be what he wants. Asked me to help on something, I solved it last night and he said ok, without him knowing that I did it, but today, he said to try some other way, as usual. More work, that's all, even when we are on a tight deadline.

Thinking of going home earlier today, meaning before 8pm, hopefully. I have been telling myself this for the past 2 months, but work is always there. Someone should write a book, Work, the neverending story. Then they can make a movie of it, get Tom Hanks to star in it as well. I think it's time to get back to work now. Another time.

Monday Blues

There is that phrase, "Monday Blues." I am getting a full-effect of it today. Firstly, I woke up too early this morning. Surprise. Surprise. When I found out it was too early, I went back to bed. Actually shut my alarm off. In the end, woke up late, again. Promised myself to come to work early today. Ended up half an hour late. Thank goodness for school holidays. No traffic jams.

Boss is back today. Correction. Bosses are back today. Everyone seem to be working hard this morning. Nobody seems to be in the talking mood. Who can blame them? I wanted to check the blogs first, but my conscience ran in and I started work immediately. Actually did non-stop work for 4 straight hours. Wonder if it's a record for me? Anyway, boss don't seem to be in a bad mood today. He did scream at others a few times today.

I still have a splitting headache. I have no idea what's causing it. Perhaps migrain? or just looking at work too much. Everytime I ask boss for an answer, he gives me another problem. Maybe that's the cause of the headache. Didn't drink much but a cup of Milo this morning. Dehydration? Just blame it on Monday. Poor ole' Monday. But remember, it's the start of a new week. A whole long week that is. Can't wait till Saturday again. sigh.

Watched The DaVinnci Code on Saturday. My friend bought the tickets. So I just attended. What luck. The cinema was great. The new GSC cinema at 1 Utama new wing. When the story started, I expected the worse, seeing that most people who watched it criticised it. To be honest, I enjoyed it. The cinematography was great. Don't complain about the storyline. Most of you all read the book, so everyone would be expecting too much. Don't think about it and enjoy the movie. As a movie, the plotline was good. Ron Howard may not make great movies, but he still makes damn good movies. Good performances by Tom Hanks and Ian McKellen. Great film editing and worth a watch. And a word to you all out there, if you are paying money to enjoy the movie, then enjoy it.

Boss coming back today

He's on the way back. Someone called him this morning. He's coming back today. Rumours have it that his wife and kids are down there with him for the holidays. But for some reason, he's on the way back. Rumours could be wrong. Probably gossip from the office ladies. It's noon now. He'll probably be back by 3pm. The thought of his return has caused tremours among some staff. I have to admit it has caused a stir in me. He could return with a thunderstorm. Striking lightning and thunder into the hearts of the people.

Anyway, tomorrow's a holiday and I intend to make it one. I am not planning to come to work tomorrow, dispite my colleague telling us that he's coming. Yes, there's tonnes of work. But, it's a holiday and I want a rest. I just hope his return doesn't create more work for me. When he returns, he brings new stuff for us to do, most of the time irrelevant items that could have been avoided earlier on if he had listen to us. He's still the boss. Let's hope he wants to spend time with his family this holiday.

Haven't manage to get the tickets for the show yet. I was online last night, midnight, seem to remember to book for Sunday, but after some thought, I remembered I had something on this Sunday. So, I'll do what most will do, queue in line at the counter tomorrow and hope I get some tickets. Maybe I'll go for a midnight show tonight. Let's just see. I love impromptu planning.

Lunch hour now. Some are working, some are still out. I am sneaking a few minutes to finish this blog. Till we meet another time.

One more week to the World Cup

Boy, time flies. It's just another week, then kick off. Very busy lately. But bosses are not around. They'll be back tomorrow. Then they'll start yelling again. Well, at least it's the weekend then. Saturday is a public holiday. A day's rest at least. Unless of course they start asking for things again. sigh.

Need a rest this Saturday. But must settle my finance 1st. Need to pay some bills. Actually lots of bills. Thank goodness there is something called ATM machine. Just transfer the money or just put in a cheque. Then wait for another month and pay again. It's getting regular, as if I am in debt. Don't like the feeling of debts though. Who does?

Two new colleagues joined the company today. One man and a lady. Bosses were not around and no one introduced them around. They just sat there, looked at documents and maybe surfed the net. Kinda like when I first joined. I actually reported to work one day early, coz both bosses were going outstation on that day. They wanted to let me know what to do while they were gone. Still, I did what was told to do and had nothing to do for the rest of the week but look at documents and look around. Now, I am complaining there's too much work. One can never be satisfied.

Planning to watch a movie this weekend. Either X-men 3, M.I. 3 or Da Vincci's Code. Haven't been able to book the tickets yet. The only way I could probably book it online would be to book it at exactly 12am, when the tickets for the day are released. I get in the office early in the morning, tickets are all taken up as well. People nowadays really watch a lot movies.

Anyway, maybe I can still buy the tickets at the counter before they are all sold out. Thank goodness only limited tickets are allocated to be booked online. I have to beat the holiday rush and get the tickets. Maybe I'll go early on Saturday morning. I really want to watch a movie this weekend, at the cinema that is. Next week, it'll be football, football and football for a month.
