To all of my 3 (yes, 3) readers, hope you had a blast watching the Olympics, and not just that badminton men's singles gold medal match. This photo pretty much explains my disappearance from this place since, well, my last post. So, for the last 3 weeks I had the opportunity to switch my job title to director *pumps fist*, and now I'm demoted to my regular job *face palm*.
*starts ranting*In the early hours of July 18 (so dramatic, right?) I was told that I needn't to come to work tonight because I was one of the ten who were chosen to handle the Olympics *boo yeah!* with another department that regularly handles live events (Euro, BPL etc). 2 seconds later I realized I had already promised 3 other colleagues months earlier to cover for them while they were on leave.
Long story short, I spent a good 15 minutes pleading to be taken off (yes, taken off the Olympics team) and the entire day calling and texting other colleagues to take over my OTs to no avail. And my phone bill wasn't pretty either at the end of the month.
All these crap went on until I got the working schedule for the Olympics. Despite what the supervisor said about not allowing us to work in 2 departments, well, that went out the window. So on my off days, I went back to my old place for OTs.
Yep, but my dedication to work and keeping my promises better be noticed. *hmmmpphrhrhhrr*
But it's the Olympics!, so forget about leave and OTs. All in all, it was the best 3 weeks I've had in recent times and secretly wished it was Olympics everyday. People might not be able to handle my fascination with the Games because I, for one, do not play sports, but it is what it is and if only I could write "2012 Olympics team" on my forehead everytime I go to work.
Yep, life is good.
