Complaints / Grouses / Grumbles Welcomed Here!

So how was your week?

Mine was terrible - I kept worrying about yuck, work. And other things have not been exactly fun either. Fun things were Glee, Idol, uh.. Wow, I think that was it. And oh yes, the one time I followed the police-escorted car all the way from Damansara to almost home. I arrived in record-time, of course.

I had also met a girl from the good, old college days - which spurred me to sms another friend from high school whom I had not contacted for years. I am actually thinking of holding a get together with the girls. That should be fun, like the previous reunion.

I am also reminded of and (re-)acknowledging that, I am a very emotional person; when my temper ran high this week and I had gotten over-distressed over these trivial incidences (fyi, opposites of the word emotional includes cold - which means being emotional is good, as you are perceived as a warm person..?? Did Freud had anything on this subject? ) Anyway. The trivial incidences -

1. Not read / deleted email notification. I take extra care about the emails I send out. I dont send just about any email to any Tom, Dick or Harry - I weigh the contents, its benefits, the consequences, the general interest of the recipients first. There is an honest / sincere effort involved to get each and every email out. The least the recipients could do (in my opinion) is to open, not necessarily read if they are not overly inclined, all emails they receive. Tak usah lah hantar not read notification balik. (And yes, the mood has been disagreeable like this almost all week long..)

2. The word wisdom has bothered me this week too. I constantly apply the word to the older generation (older than me, that is..), to the owls and its numerous species, the kung-fu master who builds his humble dwelling on top of the mountain and dedicates his life to do good for the universe.. The modern office does not convey "wisdom" to me - it is dynamic, competitive, innovative, on edge, flying even. Wisdom is sort of - I dont know - misplaced in some way to describe the office. Well, it is a personal interpretation surely. And I'll leave that like that.

3. I like to say hi or wave or indicate my recognition if not smile at people I know / met before / sat with in some meeting or another. After all, I do have a warm personality (yeah, yeah..). It bothers me (very much so, I discovered) when people I know dont do the same when they see me or even worse, they make extra effort to avoid me (this happens). It made me want to go up to them and ask if I am invisible / did or said something they didnt like or was out of line somewhere. After all I am loud, I have a big mouth, I swear all the time - but please, please believe me when I say that I am kind to animals and I do have a good heart.. (I think, but then dont we all think the same along this line?)

.... (yes, the things that go through my head make me wonder about me too sometimes)

But, (say this out loud with me) where else could we throw tantrums if not on our very own blog?

And after all that grouses aired, I wish happy cuti sekolah to all mums who are taking leave next week!
