Woke up feeling rather excited this morning as I was supposed to go for a couple of business visits (There was no need to rot in the office!) However, my IT colleague, Claudia, who was to accompany me for the visits was ill and did not report to work. Disappointed, I rescheduled the visits with the respective HR personnel. From their voices, I could tell that they were not very happy about it : (
However, there was one business visit which I went for with Boss and another IT colleague, Eunice. While walking to the Great Eastern Building which was quite far from our office (Boss wanted to save on the cab fare), I had to endure the heat from the blazing sun, the weight of 2 boxes of snowskin mooncakes as well as Eunice's senseless talk : ( By the time I reached the client's place, I felt like fainting from heatstroke. As usual, both Eunice and I behaved like "vases" while Boss was trying very hard to share a snapshot of the current market situation with the HR Manager. From the dazed look on her face, I could tell that she was not interested at all (God knows if she was in slumberland : P ) The only time when her face lit up was when she received the 2 boxes of mooncakes (How realistic). Left and walked back to the office under the same blazing sun (God save me!)
Had an appraisal with Boss after that and as usual, there was nothing much to talk about. After getting the increment that I desired, I went off for the day : ) Met up with Accountant for dinner at Sushi Tei in Raffles City. Good to see him again, after such a long time. Not much changes in him, except for his more toned physique; he remained as confident (or arrogant) and aggressive as ever. Glad to know that he was doing well in his current company : ) Had a good catch-up with him and realized that he still harbor a slight grudge against me - He felt that I did not give him the moral support that he needed when his company shifted to Changi (He lives in the West). Oh well!
