Duracell Bunny

Everything is in a mess as I'm consumed by work. If there is a Duracell bunny of me it would have stopped marching a long time ago. What keep me going you may ask? It's the work satisfaction and the small little personal successes I achieved at the office. How much longer can one keep up at this level? I seriously don't know -- I guess I have to wait for my appraisal end March.

I collected my Fujitsu notebook from the service centre at Takashimaya yesterday. The change of hardisk due to bad sectors set me $290 poorer. That bloody amount excluded service charge and GST. Anyway, the girl who manned the counter really needed to work on her softskills. Imagine talking to her friend on her handphone while entering some data in the system -- all while attending me. The service was really lame. Half the time I was hoping she'd say something rude during the encounter so I could have an excuse to create a bit of a mayhem. The other half I was too busy nursing my runny nose.

Side note. Today coming home my old man mentioned to me that he was worried because our next door neighbour, who lives alone, doesn't seem to respond when he knocked on the door. "Why did you do that?" I asked him. He said he saw traces of oil or some unknown substance seeping out from the door and the doorsteps. God bless that old man of mine as he began to imagine my neighbour could have fainted la, what la and no one really knows for sure or takes notice. I nearly gave a snigger but I didn't. I told him let's wait tomorrow as this neighbour of ours is seldom seen in the first place. He might be working irregular shifts, he might be a super recluse -- so let's just see. "Ok", said my old man.

Throughout the conversation I tried to assuage myself for this lack of apathy and I just hope we don't start to smell a stench coming next door.

Alrightee. 5 things to look forward.

1. My pet project of a little website -- I sure hope it's coming along fine.
2. My project with some colleagues has finally taken to a cohesive output. It's just a matter of streamlining it a bit more.
3. This Sunday.
4. O2 Atom.
5. A new guitar score to play.

'Night.
