It's Not Funny

I'm down with flu (again)... Something that boss said today pissed me off big time, and I really mean big time... He asked if one of the interview is confirmed on Mon and I said yes, but I got the date wrong. Following which, he didn't hesitate to say this to me, "hey, you do get names wrong at times and now you even got the date wrong... are you dyslexia"? Boy... I was (still am) livid!!! What do you mean??? And he had the cheek to laugh and went on to say he's not joking and if I'm really down with the problem I should seek treatment. Now I really understand why others say he has zero EQ, and, I add, nil sense of humour.

I hate it too when he has to travel because all he is concerned with is to get on the preferred aircraft - A380 or 777-300ER. I was on the phone with the travel agent and he came by to slip a piece of paper to remind me of his preferance. C'mon.... just leave me alone lor.
After the few episodes of late I'm really thinking about moving over to do research. I like the office and the colleagues but he is really... slowly... getting on my nerves. So, before I tear him to pieces I better do something about it. Anyway, I never fail to remind myself that it can only get better.

Just Another Bad Day...

Boss had it real bad at yesterday's weekly meeting and today he tried to pass it on to me. Here's what happened...

Scene One
Boss: Did you let the client know we are flying X for the meeting?
Me: Yes, it's on one of my email confirming the meeting.
Boss: Did the client confirm?
Me: Hmm... No, but she confirmed the meeting though after reading my email.
Boss: You cannot assume... luckily I indicated on my email X is based in SIN
Me: LL... kept quiet
Boss: (continued searching for emails) Oh, so you really did mention it to her... ok...

Scene Two
Boss: Please reverse this doc
Me: Can't. Because it has been entered into the system
Boss: What?!!! You opened the assignment???
Me: Yeah... you signed the doc, didn't you?
Boss: But I thought you said we need to get everyone to agree and sign?
Me: Yes, but I also said I only found out about it after it was opened... we can email J to reverse
Boss: Just do whatever we need to do...

Shortly after what happened, boss tried to be funny and asked me where to park in Raffles Place. To which I replied, "anywhere you can find parking lots". Duh... dun gimme that crap... damage done. Next.

On a brighter side of things, I managed to finish Part 1 of Sex and the City while nursing a flu at home yesterday. I like the Samantha character, she's one cool quirky chick.
