Roasted pig

I'm in my office right now... sweating like a pig.. feeling rather giddy-headed.
And I once again experience the love-hate view to modern technology and what it has brought us...
The air-conditioner in my office has broken down. However, life still has to go on.. it has only made me painfully aware that air-con, once a luxurious item, has become a basic item to most Singaporeans. I love the comfort it brings... yet I hate the sense of feeling so helpless without it. Most of my colleagues & I can't even function normally without the air-con!!!

I just raided the fridge & conjured up several cans of Coke Light.. My colleagues & staff were superbly appreciative of this gesture! This goes to show how the little simple pleasures of life can mean so much in such a situation..

Well... I hear a "most melodious" voice.. ".. I set you all free!" It's my director! The saviour to our distress! Okok.. can go home slightly earlier than usual..
My staff just popped in & asked, " Can we go home earlier?"
I'm very happy that even though my director has 'issued the decree', my staff still bothered to step in & asked. Well, it's the form of respect & courtesy that should exist among people :)

I can hear the sounds of packing up & footsteps leading away from my cubicle... Okok.. I think I need to run off soon too.. Sigh.. so much work undone.. better clear as much as possible & go off!
