I am a D-I-D
Am back to work today. Was still feeling a little weak but I livened up when I saw the work I had to do. I do actually love work.. haha, strange concept isn’t it? :) Because I wasn’t feeling too well, I am back to decent daylight hours today and tomorrow (11-8pm). Spent the whole good afternoon clearing my work emails and did some tidying up of previous days' work. Had a bit of laughs when the London colleagues called. Was literally trying to breath and talk at the same time. Sounded really nasal and those people had the audacity to laugh! hmpf :P
Anyway, I never really comprehend the concept of being a ‘damsel in distress’ till today.
Because I had not much of an appetite, I got a takeaway – some soupy kway teow thing – and brought it to the office pantry. This guy colleague A was also there getting some water and I said a weak hi. He asked if I was ok cause I looked pale and asked me to take care. I said thanks and then I tried to pry open the tight lid of my takeaway container, which was scalding hot and I must have looked a little distressed. Guy colleague A sensed my distress and offered me help. Okok, so he was just being nice. But I’ve come to label him as the ‘pantry guy’ (erm, cause I kinda forgot his name? And because he’s a temp, he doesn’t have the name plate thing on his desk….) Each time I go into the pantry, I will see him coming in shortly after that...!! (he sits near the pantry you see). Ok, stop reading too much Shaz, its only a coincidence. Heh. Then again.. haha its funny. no? My make believe admirer. :P
Guy colleague B (which happens to be another temp) came over to my desk to check something about work. Having done that, he handed me some cough drops. I was quite taken aback, now that’s a really sweet gesture! :) I must have been coughing like mad today in the office.
After work, I met up with the guys in town and we had dinner at gluttony square in town. The food looks really tempting but I had to control and restrain. Arghhh! Ended up eating some tasteless noodles soup and popiah, when I could have eaten sting ray, satay, bbq chicken wings, oyster ommelette and what nots?! Bleh!! I’m going back there again when I am fully recovered. Am gonna eat to my heart’s content!! The stomach shall be appeased!
We had coffee thereafter at Starbucks and I was served by a really really cute waiter at the counter. I was trying to decide what to have. He was trying to promote this nice icy drink product. I smiled politely and said I am not feeling too well and maybe I should skip that. He’s got a really cute smile.. anyway he said there was lemonade in the drink and that would be good for my throat (?) so I said ‘yeah why not I’ll give it a try..’ And before he punched in my order, he looked at me and smiled.. ‘I think you better have some chamomile tea, its better for you’. I looked at him not knowing what to say, erm ok? smiled (again) and said I would like a small cuppa. He came back with a large cup instead. I was going to offer to buy for the large cup, the difference was only like 30 cents but he said it was fine, smiled (again.. he’s got a dazzling smile) and said in the most charming way ‘get well soon’. I hope I wasn’t blushing when I said thanks! heh...
So there, a damsel in distress I was today but I didn’t mind being treated like a lady at all. :)
