i came back to a silly non-functioning lockset that likes to ridicule me by failing to perform its duties at non-appropriate times. i can almost hear its evil laughter as once again, i am unable to open the door into my place. it has tortured me mercilessly over the course of one year as it selectively chooses to ignore my pleas to work.
this morning, the iron grille played 'follow the leader' and imitated its sibling, trapping me in my own prison for the better half of the morning. seeing that it was so much fun, the electrical department decided to join in the party. the phone rang continuously for no apparent reason with no caller on the other side. this spooked the internet connection, which also decided to follow the labour strike. bah wahhhhh! i am putting out so much fire that i am beginning to feel the heat.
office work is piling up so high that it is fast becoming a close match to malaysia's twin tower. on the personal side, it seems that my name is on everybody's lips. the phone is ringing non-stop with people pulling me apart with their demands for my attention. and as usual, all things cannot wait. my shoulders are tighter than before the holidays and i am ready to collapse.
this serves as my temporary therapy.
now i must go and continue putting out the fires before it envelops me.
see you around.

It is fairly normal for you to feel the aftershock when you return from a holiday... You'll pick up soon I suppose? Freaky events do not seem to strike you alone wer... me too! Flickering lights in the shower at night...

dear fei: heehee. the old cocka also very fun leh.
unfortunately my boss is the type who is not interested in excuses or stories. he doesn't care about the who, how, where, when and what, just the results. so, you can tell stories until you are blue in the face, his final reply is 'when can i have it? 1 hour later can or not?'. and 15mins later, he will call again and ask whether it's ready yet. :-p
