Working Blues
Tuesday, January 17th, 2006my third day interning at BBDO, i’m so lucky that i have friends here otherwise i’d be sitting alone staring at the ceiling or the wall or something. i think i might go nuts doing that for 8 hours. hilarious that i know half of the office politics that has been going on. u didnt hear it from me but someone is trying to get someone fired and another someone is always on leave and suspected of dengue but i heard a colleague saying that she deserves it so i’m waiting to see this someone when she gets in. huahaha! ur typical garden variety of office politics. sigh.
oh and there’s this really really sweet woman, lilian, she’s like the typical aunties that u see walking around and buying fruits in pasar malam. sweet lady…i like her! so here i am on my first day being introduced to everyone by lilian so alright, i’m done with introductions, so i sit down and do a presentation that has to be in by 1.30 when lilian starts talking on the phone. she gets so irritated and annoyed she started screaming profanities and vulgarites for anyone within a 5 mile radius to hear. that was the highlight of my day, i’m still waiting for her to open pandora’s box. yesterday she was so close to having an outburst. i just jerked my head up and waited…but sigh, it was a false alarm.
hahah i just sneaked out for an hour to have coffee with Audrey. hilarious considering she thought she was starting her internship today but it was actually an interview. this happened the second time so she’s like really pissed.
my supervisor called in sick today so i have absolutely nothing to do. i really wish someone would give me work to do so i wont be so bored but looking around i dont think anyone has time to explain even if they give me work. sigh. isnt this fantastic? i think i’m gonna just stare at people today until they give me work to do. yes that’s what i’m gonna do. until lunchtime that is. LOVELY!
