Work starts at 9:00am
25 06 2009I ran to work today.
Seriously.
Last week, my Head of Admin gave me a small talk, saying that he’s noticed my punch-card, and how I’ve been punching in at times varying from 9:03 (stupid slow walking people in front of me) and 9:45 (stupid snooze button).
“Try to come in earlier,” he said (nicely), “if possible.”
Goodness.
He might as well have yelled at me. Him being all nice just made me even more paranoid.
I resolved to take an earlier bus, and get there on time.
So on Monday and through Wednesday, my punch-card saw impressive times such as 8:42 and 8:46.
But, today.
Today i was running late. There was traffic, slow people, chatty bus drivers and the whole nine yards. By the time i reached the bus stop near my workplace, it was 8:56.
Run, Forest, run.
People moved aside as I dashed across roads, overtaking people, checking my watch and also looking around to make sure i didn’t get hit by a car (i’d be REALLY late then.)
I rushed up the stairs to my workplace, thrust open the glass doors and shoved my punch-card into the machine.
“jik– jik– jik–”
9:00am
muahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaa
and the score is:
Justin: 1
Universe: 0
lol you have a funny way at looking at things.
anyway, the way to go is the car! THE CAR!!!
You are so reminding me of myself when i was in KL. I was literally running across the red lights. Drifting through my ways in the crowd like Fast & Furious (Gerald’s version) and my frustration and hatred towards the i-take-my-own-sweet-time bus drivers………hahahahahahaa
and btw..i got some small talk from my direct boss back then…
kev: No money to buy car lah. Still saving. See how it goes.
Gerald: hehe, i’ve become an expert at dodging cars, crossing roads, and moving really fast from point A to point B. Maybe i should enter Parkour competitions. (:
dude i still fail to see how ppl can block your way while walking… ur thin what just slip thru them…
tho, ppl would feel like they were robbed…
they’d be like “wtf was that!?!?!?! I swore i had my handbag with me…now its gone…”
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
I so love how you end your entries!
