TODAY is LAME DAY

Yes today was the day, I thought.
The day I would finally start picking up my pen and start working like all the others. All others who drag their feet to work and pray for a lesser workload.

But for a lesser workload(basically nothing to do) I have had the past month, I thought today was it. I cleared my table last Friday, balance of scraps the previous owner had. All her junks neatly packed into 3 BIG BOXES for her to pick up at her convenience(1 storey away) before I learnt that her seat's been vacant for almost a year. So looks like I'll just be transferring her truckload full of junk(2 BIG BOXES of SHOES) back to the other corner for another 20 years or even more.

New-Mommy who just returned to work today was supposed to impart me all knowledge she've learned but looks like she's too busy with every other things like catching up with good gossips, latest news she've missed the last 3 months and but of course clearing up all the trash that's been building up on her table thanks to all the mens.

So that's right, it's just gonna be another lame day. Another day full of pretence. Amidst the economic downturn, there's no such thing as lazing around. At the rate I'm going, even a short power-point slide takes hours to finish. I'm definitely not lazing around. When asked if I'm busy, never answer with a short 'NO' rather circle the bushes 3 times first avoiding the answer cause all busy workers here don't have the time to listen to a long story. They're suppose to be busy too like me right?

While staring blankly at the monitor still pretending, how I dream of a sweet day lying on the comfort of my bed. . . looking at how silly Ms Kitty is playing with her toys while watching 'The Nanny' on cable. Exactly what I was doing more than a month ago before I started this job. Reminiscing seems to be only thing that takes my mind off this igloo I call work.

Complaining doesn't do wonder. Only makes me brood over something I definitely can't change but rather change the impression of how people would look at me. Especially people here since I'm new to the Government Working Environment. Honestly it kinda get a big difficult to get accustomed to this job cause to start with I'm not sure what these people are doing in the first place. Their roles, their uniform, their ranks they're so bitchy about and the acronym they rely on every single day at work are driving me crazy. Seriously, crazy. . .
