oh boy....

This looks bad. Very bad. My supervisor is nowhere to be found and his colleagues can’t think of anything I can do for them. Put together, that can only mean that I have absolutely nothing to do today. Looks like I’ll be blogging the whole day.

If I had known yesterday this was going to happen, I would have asked for a day off from work today. Then I could have stayed up to watch the world cup semi-final between Italy and Germany. After which, I would have camped outside the Creative shop at Plaza Singapura. The reason for wanting to camp outside a shop is so I can enjoy a massive discount on mp3 players which is only available to the first 20 customers. And after I bought my dirt-cheap mp3 player and had gone home to sleep, I would have woken up just in time to finally enjoy a nice long lunch with my family. That would have been especially meaningful since my sister is back from Australia.

Yet here I am, typing away on my keyboard while surrounded by my small bosses and medium bosses. It’d be bad to look like I have nothing to do but I wonder if it’s worse to be using company time to blog. Oh well, there’s nothing much I can do I guess.

Now that I think about it, I don’t have to blog the whole day. I could help my friend from another department with his work. If you think I’m pitiful you should hear about what he does. Today, my friend will be spending the morning stapling plastic bags onto pieces of paper. After which, he files the paper in. This part sounds relaxing enough right? But here comes the disgusting part. He then has to sort out all the files and put them into the right cabinets. If he finds that a certain file is too fat, he has to separate the contents into 2 smaller files.

And there are about 200 files to do…

So maybe I should write a really short blog for now and go help him with his work first. That should be able to kill more time than blogging anyway. I started typing this at around 9am and I was hoping it would be 10am by now. Alas, it’s only 930! This is not good.

Not that I treat blogging merely as a way to kill time. On the contrary, I enjoy blogging. I even think I enjoy it more than DOTA. It’s just that DOTA needs less brainpower than blogging so I would rather play DOTA than blog after a long day at work.

The interesting about being at the office is that even if you do nothing the whole day, you still feel tired and drained. Maybe it’s because you’re so bored your mind just switches off so it feels like it was drained.

Ok it’s 940 now…
Well I’ll stop here for now. My friend could do with some company and I need the walk anyway. Blog to you later. Haha.
