I am not someone who ever has Monday blues… not that I like coming to work everyday, but Monday is not given any special status in my book of life.. I don’t like waking up every morning, regardless of the day of the week (OK, OK, except Saturdays and Sundays when the day begins by 3 noon) But this is one of those days that are just not getting over. I feel like I've been here at this desk a week at least - at a stretch All I have to do today that should really matter is write up minutes of my meetings in Malaysia last week. But NO, I can't for the life of me be bothered to get it done with right now.. Which means I'll start at 5:20 and try and rush thru it so I can be out the door by 5:30. Oh well, its all about managing expectations - and I CANNOT be expected to care. My only contribution to this day is the below "poem" "I'm here I'm there I'm everywhere but home in bed is where i want to be" Which I might add, I think is worthy of the Whatsitcalled award that poets get. And Mr. D'souza, I do not like your comments on making me think!!!
Also, I found this on one of those sites on How to Beat the Monday Morning Blues (altho it is 3 in the afternoon here now) "Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in feeling miserable on Monday morning. There are millions of folks out there feeling the same way." No. comfort doesn't help. Although my bed might.
Now you know property is really scarce in Singapore when you see something like this:
Me: So wassup. How are things? Mr. Slim: Not too bad, but my boss is resigning. Me: (dramatically) Oh!! How come Mr. Slim: He found greener patches somewhere
Not pastures, no no. Not in SIN. They can only accommodate patches now
My word for this week is "Quick".. like Quick lunch, or quick nap or quick bite..Its a huge challenge cause nothing that i do is quick.. Quick is not a word that has or can ever be associated with me.. but the Gods (me) have spoken and QUICK is the word of this week
Also, while on the quick topic - here is a short snippet of how i spend my valuable time at work.. i guess the company doesn't know they're paying me for my time spent at these conversations.
Mala [11:04 AM]: where are we having lunch?
Killemall [11:04 AM]: PSA I need to have a quick lunch today
Mala [11:04 AM]: ok
Killemall [11:04 AM]: btw, in case you didn't know quick is my word for the week
Mala [11:04 AM]: whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Killemall [11:04 AM]: it was selected randomly among 40 other applicants for the position
Mala [11:05 AM]: can we remove quick to replace it with long?? Killemall [11:05 AM]: well, its not fair to QUICK then cause it fought tooth and nail to get where it did but if you want long then we'll have to do it on the sly without quick knowing Mala [11:05 AM]: i don't really think quick has teeth or nails...
its 9:25 on a Friday morning. I walked in to work 10 mins ago, and I'm already done for the day. Sometimes i have the fact that i'm so efficient. what in God's holy earth am i supposed to do the rest of the day now. There's only that much you can do on facebook, and text twist and messenger and the Internet. Sleeping at 4 in the morning for 2 days in a row isn't helping either. i look like i'm still in bed.
I need to arrange my face now, so it looks like i'm awake
I realise now that in my drunken stupor when i created this blogsite, i kinda missed out mentioning what this blog was all about.. or why it was created.. or all those things other people have in their blogs... So for anyone mistakenly interested...here goes..
What this blog is about? Nothing in particular.. just random things that happen to me or that i observe. I can't imagine that people who don't know me are going to want to know about my everyday life, friends, and all such things, so I'm just sticking to the experiences that are a bit different from the norm. The fact that i'm an Indian living in Singapore since '07 helps a lot for the weird stories
Why the Name? This is what i usually say when i do not want to meet or speak to someone. "Tell xxx I've died and gone to heaven and can't come to the phone" Heaven is probably the last place I'll be going, but hey, I'm not God. I can't judge these things :O)
Indian on expat in Singapore...Too lil' work. Too much time on my hands.. LAAAAZZZY.
That about sums it up.
