A crazy day.

A recount of today's perks and pits by cranky Sher today. For the sake of my colleagues, they'll be given pseudo names. 650am: [Oh man!] i woke up in reluctance. Monday Blues...dragged myself to the toilet. Gave thanks for this day. 715am: What to wear? I picked and changed, picked and changed. Settled for a yellow top today. Reminded myself to be cheery today. Work mission - to be a light in there. I faked a BIG smile in front of the mirror. Sher, smile. Sher, smile. 740am: Took my dad's car. Slept throughout the 20 mins. Wished the 20 mins was eternity, that i didnt have to wake up. 805am: Woke up and reached office. i didn't feel that sleepy by then. Was looking forward to greet MM with my good morning! She wasn't there. I ended up offering a listening ear to someone else. [Gosh, not early in the morning to hear complaints, pls...] 830-12pm: For the first time in eons, i resisted the lure of MSN...did my work quiely...typed the figures and did my write-ups. Haha proud of myself. MM still had no mood to entertain me, so i entertained myself by surfing the net. Waiting for my gang to pick me up for lunch. 1215pm: Out of office [Hooray!] But the excitement didn't last. The sun was kidnapped by the dark clouds...missed my long anticipated sun tan. Sigh with a little regret. On a happier tone, we headed to HK Cafe for yummy food and great company. 1230-2pm: My 8 happy friends were with me. To celebrate my last day in the Branch...haha. Madness, its actually still early but i won't have any more chances to pig out with them for lunches. Do it now or never. Didn't really talk much, just took a lot of pictures and made my colleagues did funny poses. Got to protect their privacy and professionalism, if not, i'd have broadcast the lame photos here. ET tendered his resignation just this morn, news spread like fire. I got wind of it and started a conversation with him that turned out awkward... [Sher] Hey which firm will you be going to? [ET] Church friend's firm...joining them, 2 firms combining into 1. [Sher] Woo okiez. Hey next time i need legal help or someone to help me fight a case, i'll look for you k. [ET] Eh, i don't think so for now. [Sher] Why not? How can you forget me?! [ET] I can't help you. You wouldn't want it either. i was puzzled...question marks popping around my head. [Sher] Why? [ET] I'm doing cases for accidents and car accident claims for now. Silence...ET looked around. [Sher] Oh. haha haha. Paused... [Sher] Eh no supreme court yet? haha haha. [ET] Nope, not at the moment. [Sher] Ahh...ic. haha haha i was embarrassed. Aiyo pls use more discretion, Sher. I felt brainless when i had unknowingly step into an area that ET didn't seem to want to talk about. Felt worse when i tried to make things seem right. Oh well, got to be wiser the next time. 210-4pm: Back in office. Back to finish my work. Z monster started attacking me. I decided to talk to MM for awhile. Showed MM my photos. She was in a much better mood in the noon. Laughed at our tireless efforts on reading motivational quotes and some exercise clips she sent me. I told her i wanted to streak my hair. [MM] No, Sheryl. Cannot. [Sher] Huh why not? i'm going back to my old hairstyle. [MM] Remember you're going to be a social worker. How can? MUST set good example. [Sher] Haha nmind MM. I will be an unconventional social worker. Revolutionize the social work scene. Then we talked about children. [Sher] MM, if i want children, i want boys. [MM] Why dear? [Sher] i want to train up my boys to grow up to be fine young men. Too many bad guys out there who don't know how to treat ladies well. i want my boys to be people who will know how to treat girls well with dignity and respect. [MM] yah i agree. So many guys out there who play around with girls yah... [Sher] Yah loh. Maybe i should consider the path of a feminist one day. Write articles on feminism and advocate events for such a cause. Yeah, good idea. 410pm: Ah beng came over to my desk while i was discussing work with meimei. He commanded me to go to his workstation. [Oh my gosh, did i do anything wrong at work?] I looked at meimei with anguish in my eyes...hmmm. [Nervous but acted like nothing had happened] i queried why. Ah beng looked very serious till he said, aiyah want to bring you and the other lady out for farewell dinner. Why are u so busy?[Chey...Whoosh] Then i was thinking and grinning, why didn't he offer me a cheque of $1.5K for my SOT?! 430-6+pm: The nightmare began. The progress was super, super, s-u-p-e-r s--l--o--w. Worse, my gastric cramps came and i felt like puking. [Oh no...pls God. i don't want to vomit in the Branch] 7pm: I struggled through, finally 3/4 done with the report. The bride-to-be shooed me home...thank God for her understanding. Hurried to the toilet and disturbed Mr K. [Sher] Where's Barbie? [Mr K] Ha...ha...ha. What a pri sch joke. [Sher] *giggled* Pri sch meh? Ok lah, bye! Mr K responded in manequinn style. Shut off the com and quickly headed for cab with EL. EL has always been candid and i like her ability to be frank as freely as she wants. I can't do that with ease for nuts...it takes great effort whenever i have to... 730-9pm: At mama's place, celebrated her birthday. Sthin happened. I kept my cool. Slp Sher, it will be forgotten tml. 9pm-12am: Brother elmo is back from HK! i miss him! haha~ he bought me a BIG brown bag for runaways! [Yippee], a T-shirt from UniQlo...ah wish he bought more from that shop. Hw was rattling abt how clean HK is now, the marvellous delicacies and how SG is gonna be doomed compared to HK, of which this statement i disagree. But anyway glad Brother elmo is back...have someone at home to disturb now. Went on to make phonecalls. The internet was down and I was in a state of panic for moments. Was supposed to submit sthin by 11plus and the computer played tricks on me...great, i ended up redoing stuff...argghh... 12+am: Just finished bathing n washing the clothes. Enough ventilation online...it is therapeutic. Looking forward to ah beng's book - tuesday with morrie. Let the provoking of thots begin from tml...what a day, what a night. Like what Jeanie always says - my bed is calling me. Good night.
