WOOHOO my manager is not in the office now! PARTAY~!!!!
ok with this sudden new taste of freedom, i am kinda bewildered as to what to do... should i watch a movie or call up some of the contacts that i have conveniently forgotten to. sometimes i forget to clear history on my com and i really think she might have switched on my com to see what i did. :S stupid barn buddy! the other time she came over to talk to me, i had no idea why barn buddy would start playing some cartoon tune! SHOCK OF MY LIFE.
i think i may just be the only person in the world who could get fired because of pet society or those stupid facebook applications on the whole.
anyway i really doubt myself after this whole experience. firstly i dont know what other PR firms are there in Singapore. like accounting has the big 4 etc, but the only PR firm i know is the one that i am working for.
she said this to me the other day in one of those almost daily discussions where she always like to talk about my work performance: "janet i really don't know why you're doing all these you know. you know what i really think you should do?" *eyeballs left ceiling, eyeballs right ceiling* "i think you should go....and get married" then i was shocked, i gaped and asked why. i was expecting that she would say that i should go and do fashion or admin or bimbotic data entry thing--but out of all things she says I SHOULD GO AND GET MARRIED. what the seriously.
it somehow implies that i should be low-knowledge housewife is it?? go and get married is like this less insulting term that she pulled out from the sky.
i went home in a glum. it's not like i am daydreaming etc, but everytime she questions me, she would fire 10 questions at a go like i could remember the status of each and every 30 media contacts or so that i should track.
"how is tabla magazine?"
"how is men's health magazine?"
"why is that so?"
"could you keep track of that?!"
"what other media now?"
"what did tsiao hui say?"
"what are you going to do about it? i can't wait too long you know..!"
"how is expat magazine?"
"what about expat LIVING magazine?" (enters a already defeated janet here)
and it goes on and on and on till she decides to do this audible UGH thing and go back to typing something on her laptop.
her rapid fire questioning makes me feel like the retained suspect or witness and then if i cannot answer any question correctly and fast enough, the frown on her face will start to crease deeper, deeper and deeper. of course i get scared and then i start to talk less audibly and she takes it as a sign of weakness.
sometimes she talks to me, she'll do this cup-hands-to-ears thing as if there is mount everest between us and she can only hear the echoes of my yodel. "huh janet? i cannot hear what you are saying!" S I A N.
today halfway talking to her about this headset that was returned to us by a journalist, i went to check the cupboard coz she says the journalist returned but i seemed to remember the headset was returned to the client who was with me..... she told me this. "janet..." (looks at me like i am an alien) "i think you got a problem..."
then she starts to say that i have a memory problem that is very unlike young people these days and that i should eat gingko nuts or see a doctor.
:( i know i may not have the best memory and have even forgotten an exam before (worst forgetting incident ever) but i am feeeeeeeeeeling horrible just feeling stupid like that.
ok tired to type more. i just discovered i got my period and stained my dress. in. the. freaking. office.............................................
