Since neytOn asked how come I'm not blogging anything, here comes this entry. And since I'm having a major mind block, this shall be a idiot-proof entry. Quotes or rather conversation that are worth a mention from the workplace.
I was at the subs-desk laying out the TV page during one of the days last week & my Chief Sub said to my Deputy Chief Sub....
> CS: It's so funny!
> DCS: What?!
> CS: I'm doing these 2 pages & one says XYZ reporting from Philippines & the other says XYZ reporting from Taipei. People will start to wonder where the fuck is this guy in.
My HR VP was having some problems with his MSN Messenger & so requested for my help. (It's funny how he didn't approach the IT department instead.)
> Me: Eh! I'm busy now...I'll go to your room in awhile k?
> VP: Ok! I'll see you in awhile
*insert cheeky laughters from surrounding colleagues*
My colleague left her mobile phone on her desk & only realised it when she has gone home. I was on the cab when she called me & so I can't do much. I suggested calling one of the subs that might be in office still. The next morning....
> Colleague (to one of the subs): Eh! Thanks for last night! *sweet smile*
*insert cheeky laughters from surrounding colleagues*
I was cutting the uber solid hard chocolate brownie cake my sweet colleagues bought for me for my birthday & I was having a major problem cutting the frozen cake. My editor who was getting impatient asks...
> Editor: Eh! Hello auntie....Oops! Sorry! Someone only 21
> Me: . . . .
My HR VP borrowed my telephone to call another colleague from another department. Naturally, I heard the "one-sided" conversation.
> VP: Hello! Eh! It's me hoh! blah blah blah...
He hanged up the phone. I couldn't resist but ask...
> Me: Why must you say, "Eh! It's me."
> VP: To let the person know it's me loh!
> Me: Why don't you say your name? Like "Eh! XXX here..."
> VP: The person should know it's me mah!
> Me: Then why bother saying "Eh! It's me" when the person know it's you?
> VP: Hmmmm....
This is the best one ever. An utterly blur colleague wanted to borrow the camera for an assignment she is suppose to go for, but the only available camera is faulty...
> Colleague A: I need a camera!
> Colleague B: But this is not working!
> Colleague A: BUT I NEED ONE NOW!
> Colleague B: Ok, listen to me (her name), this camera is NOT working.
> Colleague A: But how? I need a camera. So can I just take this?
> Colleague B: LOOK! THIS CAMERA IS NOT WORKING! Spoil. You know spoil? S-P-O-I-L.
> Colleague A: But I need it.
> Colleague B: (exasperated) Ok fine. Take it.
30 minutes later, colleague A called to complain that the camera she took is not working.
There are tonnes more, but my mind block's getting on me again. Must be the fact that I'm working tomorrow. Sigh! >_<
