It was freezing icy cold today, I was on the verge of letting myself to hibernation. But at that conspicuous desk I am sitting at, I can only dream with my eyes open. (they call that 'daydreaming'?) If only I could dig a hole in the ground, or maybe climb up a tree; but there were only piles of franking, data entry and filing to be done... not forgetting the irritating and persistent phone calls!!!
Hell. When will the phone calls just stop? can't the blind people see that is the number for ADMIN dept?? yeah, sorry blind mice. So I picked up a call which is qualified to be added on to my list of the 'Squids' or the 'Mice'. The first thing he spoke was he saw an advert we posted on the newspapers and had some queries on a particular product. I thought, when did Farnell employ this marketing/publicity strategy of advertising their thousands and millions of products on newspapers?? eccentric. Alright, so he went on, describing that product- the support for the... knees(?) blah blah blah.. (Now now, this really doesnt sound right as we deal in electronics) And asked me for the Unity Healthcare no. in AMK. HAA. I knew it.
This is not the worst. I had a caller looking for Mdm Tan, a physician, in Mdm Tan's house last week. heh. I told her this is an office, she wouldn't believe and insisted on making a second call. Can someone invent spraying water from the telephone mouth please? (to be controlled by the listener totally) These ppl need some awakening.
It was such a not-so-exciting day already. Can't blame me for falling asleep. But, I didn't of course. If not, I wouldn't have a chance to talk to G. Carter! wohoo. He was freezing too.. haha. He's like a cartoon, very cute kind of character. Bald head, blue eyes, like those kids in the milk powder/diapers posters. oops. He was looking frantically for Jenny, to lend him a jacket. And a while later, saying he needed a drink, 100+, because he was shivering. (huh.. ironic. haa) So on his way out, he asked about my job and the remarks received towards my work. oh my god.....
Apparently he received some positive remarks about my work attitude. I dont remember doing anything outstanding. whoever helped me, thanks! heh. but I suppose IF what he said were true, it had to be Wailin or Jenny. THANKS.;) He further added that if I had any problems or anything I could look for him. haa, I would be looking for one if I really do. True or not, I am grateful for his efforts. Because I feel more motivated to work! haa. So I suppose that's a HR strategy to let the employees feel the drive to work harder? ----- It definitely works.
