EEEEYAAAARRR!!

What do you do when you over promise & realise you can't deliver? If you're as fucked up as the baboon, you take sick leave.

Brilliant. So I hound the next in charge & find that the next day she takes sick leave too! Such a coincidence! It's like rolling a 1 for an item you need. Twice.

I want to do this to some ppl.

With my direct supervisor on leave & team mate on exam leave, I was left to fend for myself & hold up the team for the past week. Having to work until midnight & enduring Chris' ABBA album was bad nuff, now I have to put up with a bunch of sick primates & get dragged into useless meetings where at the end of it, they still can't decide on anything nor make up their freaking minds.

And this.

"As a gamer, would you buy this?" A director poses this question to me.

"No." came my reply. I don't see why I would want to fork out so much dough just to buy a client of a free game that comes with a physical item emblazoned with just the logo of the product. I'd much rather you give me an in-game item, even if it was just for cosmetic purposes.

The same question gets posed to another colleague of mine & she replies with an affirmative yes. She turns around to look at a guy colleague & me, then adds with a hint of sarcasm tainted in her voice, "If you're a hardcore gamer, you would buy it."

Excuse me? Is she implying she knows better & I know jackshit about the product? I've tried the game long enuff to know that I shouldn't be wasting my fucking time on it. Watching the Drumma Queen play Ape Academy or Katamari was way more entertaining.

Shaddup Foo!

We laughed. I don't know about my guy colleague but I was amused by her mentality & confidence that you could move products off a shelf simply by slapping a logo on. We ain't Blizzard babe. And if I don't pry into her area of work, then she should stay out of mine too & let me do my job.

Diam lah knn.

Which brings me to think about why I'm still in this job even when I complain so much about it all the time. In all honesty, it's not the job that bothers me. In fact, I kinda enjoy what I'm doing. I get along super with my vendors. It's some of the ppl in the company that I have to work with that makes me feel like my intellect drops each time I have a conversation with them.

Bloody hell man.
