office suffocation

i didn’t know life could be so frustrating in the office.

while doing up the access database, i was freaking stuck and was on the verge of pulling out my hair. i really needed an endless walk or a good hour of stoning or a deafening blasting session of music. but i could do neither. i miss doing academic projects when i could do anything i liked when i needed a time-out for my brains.

cos it’s unofficially against company culture to walk up and down the corridor or anywhere else lowering productivity. not very nice to let the boss see me stone either. and i couldn’t blast music on my mp3 player cos i wouldn’t be able to hear people call for me from across the office.

it was really frustrating and demoralising.

it didn’t help that the stupid nag spoilt my entire day by standing there and expecting me to apologise for a mistake that i didn’t make. i dismissed her with a bo-chup look and a monotonous “ok lor” when she whined that she had to cancel the document which was in circulation. and that she’s been cancelling too many such documents and it portrays the “wrong” impression that she’s making too many mistakes. she’s such a pain in the ass.

and my neighbour in black was on half a day’s leave, leaving me with no one to gossip with or to act silly with.

it was quite a bad day indeed, minus the dinner and coffee session.
