Being Ah Girl's Receptionist

Being the receptionist for ah girl has it's "plus" side. First, you get to screen her calls. Those who use her English names are usually work-related, and the moment they put down the phone, her mobile phone will start buzzing on her table, which, can be very irritating. I mean, how can mobile phones be call mobile phones if they are not mobile. But, that's beside the point. Back to receptionist story. As for those who use her Chinese name, "clear throat", are usually family members.

It so happens that Ah Girl wasn't around to answer her mum's phone call. So after telling her Ah Girl just walked away, her not-so-mobile mobile phone rang.

Ah Girl called home...

Ah Girl: Ma, you called just now?
Ma:......

Ah Girl: Of course I know lah
Ma:.....

Ah Girl: Phuket, I never go before.
Ma:....

Ah Girl: Hah?? I want to go, but when?
Ma:...

Ah Girl: You tell me the dates lah, then I can take leave
Ma:....

Ah Girl: okay...bye

Guess what? She is doing a "so-call" BIG show, and she is PLANNING for a trip. Her poor co-pilot. Should I tell the co-pilot?

We are not alone

Yes everyone, we are not alone. Someone else has a site called http://www.iworkwithfools.com/

Check out their mission statement, sounds familiar?

It's been a while girls... here's a lil something.

Hi all!
It's been some time since any of us contributed to this site since we are all way above our heads, drowning in what we regard as "work". I've shared this little update with a few but hey, let me put it on this site for memories.

Apparently, our dear friend went to mr ong's office to 'complain' that she is very free and has nothing to do after CTHW has finished its business (how to be busy when 70% of the time, someone else is covering her work?) Anyhoo, she hopes, sincerely, that mr ong will give her something to do. She is dying to learn new things as she feels she is, I quote, "very new". mr ong wondered out loud to our colleague: "She is new?? But she's been with us since Nov last year! It's been more than 6 months already! How can she consider herself new?" End of quote.

I mean, I admit lah. In this line, we all have busy times and downtime. When the downtime comes around, I'm more than happy to chill, hide behind my comp and relax a bit before the next crunch/project comes along.

On another note, another colleague has noticed another of our dear friend's habit. She loves to 'book' her leave around the time when public holidays fall on a Monday or Friday so that she can take the whole stretch. This colleague feels that sure, you are allowed to consume your leave anytime u want but once or twice, never mind, we can overlook but she has made it a recurring thing.

Now I hear she's officially been made the 2nd ap for that big show end of the month. Hahah no wonder i saw her twirling her hair and playing with her phone at one of the meetings. hey, i have eyes u know, cant blame me. Hope this is the learning experience she's been asking for.
