It’s my few rare times of taking the LRT in Singapore and not just it smell of vomit, the technologically advance frost-up windows are degrading as well.

It was a one-fine-day day, especially since it’s a Friday and that later in the evening, there would be a fun staff function, I suddenly got a call on my handphone.
Now, being a new guy in the office, I’m equally excited and puzzled to get phonecall. I felt important, as well as wondering who the heck would call a newbie, since i’ve yet to go into full swing in my new job.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Hi XXX, I’m YYY calling from ZZZ.”
When I heard ZZZ, I knew the caller is a client.
But when this YYY went on, I realized that what he’s talking wasn’t a project that I’m handling, and I have no knowledge of it at all.
I told this YYY that I’m not the one in-charge, but I’ll find out who’s the person-in-charge and will get him to call back. But this YYY kept on insisting on telling me the reason he called,and so on. Yes, it’s an urgent matter, but still, it’s of no point telling me, for I know no head nor tail of the project.
He finally gave me his number, a bit annoyed. But what can I do? How I wish i can tell him to fuck off, but that wouldn’t be nice of me, would it?
I finally found out who’s in-charge, and when I call that fella, that fella gave me a blank expression, a blank reply, and all that is clean-sheet of blank look. WTF?!?
He told me, it’s actually a project that was handled by a fella who has left the company. And he was assigned to it after the guy has left. I asked the secretary and she told me that the project is closed.
And I’m totally pissed off because:
1) So what if the project is closed? It does not mean that client won’t call again to clarify something that was not clarified BEFORE the project was closed. Clients are gundu and stupid, and some times, things occur to them only after awhile, only after a project is closed. So don’t give me the reason that a project is closed, and no enquiry, be it from client or from anyone else should be entertained.
2) If you are assigned to the project, you better find out the heads and tails of it. You should never shut it out just because the actual guy has left, even though you’ve been assigned to take over. Taking over does not mean closing the project without tying all the loose ends.
3) And when I finally manage to get all the necessary contacts, the client became uncontactable. What the hell?!? Don’t push all the responsibilities to a no-nothing guy. Even if you are a client, please act with certain intergrity. I’ve explained the situation, that I’m not the person to be contacted, and when I finally did help you, the client, please remain contactable, when you’ve given me your number.
So I’m stuck in the middle, where my colleague decided to take a dunno-what’s-happening stand, and the client decided to go MIA, and I believe to call me back at the eleventh hour to shout at me how come I didn’t call him back. So what am I to do? I decided to take a dunno-what’s-happening stand. I’ve done all I could, and I’ll leave it as that.
I’ll just email this colleague of mine about the call, and if he didn’t do anything, I don’t want it to be my problem and at least, I have that email to show it to my big boss if he questions.
Whatthehell?!?!? Asking the new guy to eat the dead cat? Go and die.
Just remember, don’t wear it right out of the plastic.
Many many reasons:
1) The picture says it all; there’s this cardboard inside the collar. You are bound to forget to remove that and you’ll ‘wear’ that along your journey as you walk pass your neighbours, as you take the lift with strangers, as you ride the MRTs, as you stride into the office and passes your bosses you just right for your boss to call you into the room…
2) You’ll forget at least one pin. And that pin is gonna poke you at some of the weirdest places. And you’ll start to bleed small blood spots on your new shirt. It’s gonna irritate..
3) And of course, it’s the latest fashion to iron your shirt to create a straight line across your chest, and two vertical ones across your nipple. and 2 vertical lines at your back, and one horizontal one… As oppose to deconstruction, I suppose that’s that constuction fashion means.
4) And if you have sensitive skin, you’ll itch the whole day. Think about it, you put on a shirt that you took out from a plastic bag. That shirt hasn’t been washed, meaning it’s as good as it is from the shop you bought it. You don’t know where the salesperson had stacked the shirt, it could b on a floor, where cockroaches could have roamed into your shirt to have a great tour. The shirt was from the factory. Chances are, it was treated with some kind of wax-like stuff to give it a forever new look. And while it’s at the factory, you don’t know where it was stored, or how it was stored.
whatever the case, never wear a new shirt out of the bag. it’s worse than being spotted with a toupee…
After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found
traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion
that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years
ago.
So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug
200 metres and headlines in the US papers read: “US scientists have found
traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their
ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years
earlier than the Russians.”
One week later, the Malaysian newspapers reported the following:
“After digging as deep as 500 metres, Malaysian scientists have found
absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their
ancestors were already using wireless technology.
Malaysia Boleh eh?
