Entries for December, 2008

December 2nd, 2008

I had filled up a leave form and had been away from the office for four days.

Was it worth it? Well, yes. While it lasted. Problem is when I finally got back, tasks and emails had already piled up on me. Ah well. This Tuesday had rendered the last four days useless.

So I did.

And now that I did, people seem to talk to me more (which could go either way). Haha.

December 18th, 2008

So it continues.

Was caught off guard last Tuesday and ended up saying yes to a favor asked of me (or should I say suckered in? Sweet-talked? Especially as she had that lovely a voice.). Wondered why I ever put myself up to the task in the first place while looking at the clock that read 1AM earlier this day. Decided to leave the package on her desk instead of meeting up personally to deliver it. Received a [half-hearted (I think)] thanks from her along with an invitation to have dinner. Figured I'd rather give in and get it over with than look bitter by declining the offer. Found out a little later that it won't be just us two like that one time; it was to be a group dinner with her team. Am now thinking of passing up a free dinner at CPK [to try (and most likely fail at it)] to get a point across to her. We'll see.

Imagine: For me to consider knowingly missing something that's free.

And I never learn.

I went to dinner with her and her team, drunk and out of it. And I think I had just dug a deeper hole for myself. Hooray.

It's such a cruel, cruel joke...

... to come to the office on a Sunday and finding out that the reason for your depression is also there.
