Round-Up Please - Work

It has been alright so far with constant meetings, hectic schedules and demanding deadlines. Well at least some of it is due to involved parties who are somehow rather precise or just being their own vain self.

Remember my post on the flag, it is finally up and it took about 14 manpower and 4 hours to complete such task. Here are some pics that I took before my handphone battery ran out.

The flag stretched out about 10 feet before any ropes or hooks were placed.

Workers insert pvc pipes into the top part of the flag to act as a backbone.

The 'backbone' acts as solid tool for the ropes to cling on rather than having a torn flag after a windy weather.

Every possible area were to be tied tightly.

And the flag is finally up.

Actually I have the flag picture without the trees blocking but then again nothing special about it. You can just imagine how good was the teamwork among them, is like a row of fisherman pulling their net out from the sea with one voice. This kind of team spirit do blend well among my colleagues however certain higher ranking ones have their own kind of territory and personal backstabbing agendas.

Soooo drama......

Golden

How cruel is the golden rule,
When the lives we lived are only golden-plated,
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me,
Though I carried karats for everyone to see.

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies,
And all the lovers with no time for me,
And all of the mothers raise their babies,
To stay away from me.

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams,
Where the sewage of youth drown the spark of my teens.

Frogger

My past weekend was kind of sucky with flu, coughs and headaches. Thanks to the miracle of air-conditioners or the air we breath in is currently full with unwanted germs. Stayed home watching Astro, playing WoW, eating rice dish of all types (Chicken Rice, USA Fried Rice, Claypot Chicken Rice....uhhh way way too dangerous) and sleep...duh!.

Woke up on Monday morning and unsure of going to work...then came a sudden rush of thoughts...work related...questions arises...uncertainties..no appointments and all ends up with me walking to the toilet like a zombie.

Arrived at work and receive an email from my supervisor to install the 'giant' Malaysian flag on the wall of the S* building facing the highway. I was like "WTF! No official letter and suddenly got instructed to install the thing a.s.a.p".

The grand boss sends email to big boss, he forwards the email with a note to small boss, I receive the chain email from small boss with note. Grand boss got 'jumpy' just because a sibling rival organisation has already place a giant flag on their office building. Myself being a cautious and concern employee of a well known organisation, I tried calling the related external organisation/dept to avoid being 'saman'.

No one picked up the phone which is the Customer Service line. The next 30 minutes I tried calling the same number and again the same response. Third time was no charm either and I was like "Gawd! Why go* service lines are always like this?". I couldn't get any answer as time runs short or was it the constant queries from grand boss secretary "When will it be up?". Finally I called the general line and surprisingly someone picked up the phone but transfered me to the wrong unit. Oh well...at least someone picked up the phone..right ^_^.

Got my answers and it was okay to put up the flag and hopefully all will be done within this week. There were other things that created havoc that day and yet 'nice' things did happen at the same time. Let it not be told as it is kinda complicated and yet....I could have been a 'player' but I didn't due to the fact that I was brought up in a respected family? Maybe.

Have you played Frogger before? A nice game with whole lots of patience needed. Well at least the frog jumps to cross and reach a destination. We have actual real life people 'jumping' on stewpid reasons. This is sooooo unnecessary and yet it really happens everywhere..lol.
