A quieter week

Posted: May 17, 2008 | Category: work

This week was a little mellow than the last one. My boss who was my previous highschool teacher turned out to be one of those bosses who are occassionally-heard-never-seen ones.  In another life that would have bothered me but then this is a good thing.

I won’t come home this weekend nor do I feel the need to go.  It feels relieving. Though I am going to work on a Saturday, I still feel  a little better.  I hope this continues.  Happy weekend everyone!

Good things still happen

Posted: May 08, 2008 | Category: relationships, work

I had no idea that my previous post would be featured in the front page. Really, it meant a lot. It boosted up my confidence. Work has been so stressing adding the new boss. On an update on her, she almost didn’t recognized me the first time she saw me and I was so relieved but then when someone spilled the high school where I went, she suddenly realized who I was, though she can’t remember which class I was in, which was a good thing.

Another good thing was I would not be mingling with her a lot as she is stationed a floor above me and I would be just seeing her on our weekly meetings. She hasn’t set goals yet and what I found off was that she didn’t asked what each of us are working on. I mean, if you’re the new boss you have to familiarize yourself with the tasks, right? But then, it was her first day so ok, I’ll give her a break.

But the feeling that I have done something wrong even though I haven’t came flashing back. I feel that my heartburns are attacking again. I don’t know if I’ll go to a cardiac arrest or it’s just because of the heartburns, but then at least, the Vox people are appreciating my thoughts. Thanks guys.

How to beat sleepy office hours: Sing with a celebrity

Posted: Mar 25, 2008 | Category: boring work, work

This made my day.

I mean, I really could care less about what celebrities do in their free time, like, say, not breastfeeding babies but yeah, nowhere in the URL will you see anything about Jessica Alba. (I just had to check it out, my friend said.) But lo and behold – the elevator pops open and Jessica Alba pops out singing the first lines to the song. (Talk about a cameo.)

So yeah, after Good Luck Chuck, the Invisible Woman’s lip-syncing to an elaborately choreographed/directed Panic! At the Disco’s “Nine in the Afternoon,” along with the office people. And if I thought “Casual Fridays” is the definition of a laid-back environment, then apparently we’re missing out on office-wide lip-syncing sessions(including the whiteboard!), kiddie pools and cute guys.

Well to me, what looks like a premeditated music video might’ve been a just another day in the office for these guys. (Can I work there?)

Well, for now, they’re leading in the “Best Group Lip Dub” – and I’m guessing it’s hard to beat someone at their own game, but with the inclusion of Jessica and the other cute employees – I folded. I voted for ‘em.
