Its a new month
February is here. Just like that. Fast and in a fast twinkle of an eye.
I officially took over the new team today and well it wasn't all that bad. Was a little worried but thank God all turned out well!
Workload and volume were manageable, and I cleaned up all the work requests. Work all completed, I left office a good 30 minutes earlier. That felt great! Don't see the point to linger around.
Am I being arrogant to feel this way : ' Who is going to bark at me for leaving earlier if I manage to finish all the work earlier?' And it wasn't just my own work, I helped the other teams as well.. so there. I've nothing to feel terrible about. No guilty conscience.
Also surprised myself how easy it was to type and email in French to the folks in Paris - grammatical and spelling mistakes here and there but hey I wasn't all that bad :) Well, we'll see how I do with spoken French when I do eventually have to ring them up!
On a different note, I have had terrible stinky experiences with taxi drivers two nights in a row. Why am I so suay? I always seem to flag down smelly cabs and cab drivers with BAD digusting rotten-egg smell. Is it the body oil they use, or what? the spice in their curries?? And seriously how much do you sweat by sitting in a air conditioned cab all the time???
Urgh!
I think taxis should display a smell-rating sticker or something.. like a sticker that flashly announce that taxi is "Alpine Fresh".. "Rotten egg stinkbomb" for the controversial. Or better still, people with body odour cannot apply for a taxi driver licence!! One must go through a smell-detector exam!
Pooey. *rolls eyes*
I used to suffocate myself by holding my breath in a stinky cab. These days I tell the taxi drivers that I prefer to wind down the car windows and not have the aircon turned on.
Yeah, right.
Heh.. and half the time I am bitting my tongue to halt myself from saying this..
"Eh uncle, you have bad BO issit, why you so smelly??"
I think I will probably get thrown off the cab at the expressway for saying that.
Not a good idea at 3am, methinks.
Or should I carry a air freshener everywhere I go? Anyone know where I can get a nice travel sized one? :D
