it was a good friday... to work.

this whole weekend will have to be spend in the office. there goes my long weekend... goodbye!
things have been getting really ugly and unpleasant in the office. there is a lot of tension and back stabbing around. and to think of it... its all happening because of one man. and he's american.
since his arrival, he has created much havoc in the office. behind our backs telling the boss of how lazy and useless we are, and how hardworking he is because he's in the office every day working late. but seriously in actual fact... we all know (except for the bosses) that he's only there because he has nothing better to do. but if he continues this sort of behavior, he'll never ever have friends in the office to hang out with.
and so because of him, we're all forced to come back over the weekend to work. because... i quote 'its easy to break one chopstick... but difficult to break a bunch of them...' so says me female boss. what crap. seriously one big fat chopstick will also be hard to break or even a shorter chopstick. so its all matter of perception. this is not team work. its politics. and so my first experience on office politics.
this time around, the stress/ pressure is not coming from the work instead from the management. we're all working for the sake of showing our faces to the boss. its more important to show up than doing work.

sigh... oh well someday and somewhere... happiness is waiting... taking the words from maria and that american fella

but atleast the Friday was not spent all in the office. attended the Reinharrd Bonnke rally in the evening with CK + wife. it was like any other evangelistic rally. but i thought the P&W should had lasted longer. i have not had a long P&W session in the while and was more interested in that than the message. it was a massive crowd... a huge crowd with a majority of sick people. its pretty frightening looking back. a SARS/ Viral/ somesort of disease epidemic would had broken out in that stadium.
we stayed on to witness the earlier session of the final segment of the rally- the healing session, and decided to leave after when the speaker started to call all those who are sick to come to the front. such a pity, none of the people in the wheel chair from where i was standing got up to walk.

may you rest in peace... mr pipe organist for Lygon COC.
