My office was going to erect a new house for the manager of a project team that has moved over to my side. He was pleased to know that he would be getting a window seat and it's the only open-able window in the whole room somemore! When he returned from the weekend, his new house would be ready and perhaps we can have a house-warming party!
His happiness was short-lived. To his (and all our) dismay, the partitions essentially sealed off the windows because they must be positioned in a U shape.

+------+ dotted line is the new partition

Understand or not? Anyway, it means a few things:
1) No scenery. Haha Sotong the small fry still have scenery!
2) Cannot jump out of the window in case of fire. Fireman also cannot climb in to save us. Darn.
3) Someone who always hangs his wet clothings out when he's caught in the rain while on motobike, can no longer do so. Smelly!

With my current project coming to an end, I was approached by a PM to do VB next year because "I am the person with the most experience in VB here".
I'M NOT I'M NOT I'M NOT!!! Can I erase VB from my list of competencies now? I so totally regret it. I'm supposed to be placing my future in Sun! KNS!
I could only give the huh look. As if she knew my concerns, she reassured me by saying I will still be doing some Java.
But optimistically speaking, it means I will have a job till May at least. Will I get a conversion?

While walking with my boss to the car, he passed by a female colleague and they stopped to chat like super best friends. After they parted ways, he said, "这个人在背后捅我一刀。"
Wa O_O
At the lift lobby, there was another female colleague and they chatted for as long as the lift took to come. Not as super best friend-ish as just now. She was going up while we were going down, so I didn't have to stand around looking awkward for long. After she was gone, he said... I can't quite remember, something about she was quite a handful. And that in his position, everybody has to act friendly to everybody and talk to people they don't really want to talk to.
So does that mean the more you talk to the person, the more you dislike him/her?
I remember what he said about the politicking in this company. He better survive well
All this is so not for me. Isn't Sotong glad there's a pc for her to hide behind? Black face to all I don't feel like talking to!

The secretary was busy photocopying stuff for the bosses' meeting over lunchtime. When lunchtime was almost over,
A: 你还没有吃饭啊？
S: 现在去吃！ (and she ran towards the photocopier)
A: 哇你吃纸啊？
