tragicomic

yesterday...

me:  either you bring this up or you adjust that...

other party:  of course you should bring up...

me:  nah, ah.  that's what i've been saying.  but they say that standard's too high...

the guy did not seem to get what i just said.  i did not elaborate and instead jumped to the next topic.  i was thinking maybe it's better that he did not understand.

the situation would have been shockingly ridiculous and alarming to a knowledgeable person.  (those who don't know any better, however, would have remained blissfully unperturbed.)  the supposedly acceptable and 'not too high' standard has resulted in efforts that are just way off-tangent and unduly time- and resource-consuming, missing the mark by leaps and bounds.  tragicomic.

i sincerely hope the tragedy never outweighs the comedy...

sweet not

at the elevator this morning...

officemate:  there's an ant in your hair!

me:  yikes!  how did it get there?

officemate:  ' must have fallen from the tree...

me:  huh?!

officemate:  you're sweet, that's why...

ooops...  hahaha...

you can use a lot of adjectives to describe me...  i don't think sweet is one of them...  ; p

exposed

there's this guy whose facebook status posts are supposedly for me.  i believe him actually.  most of the time, we're on the phone when the posts are made.  i know the context, i know where the posts are coming from.

the thing is, once the message is posted, his friends and, uhm, 'close' friends comment and associate the post to someone else  ->  this and that girl, hahaha...  i am a combination amused and dismayed...

maybe you're better off off the wall, guy...  the posts are nice...  but the corresponding comments reveal much to be desired...  ; p

all of them

i received a call this afternoon and in the course of diagnosing the problem the caller mentioned the name of the head of this certain office.  to clarify things, i called said head of office on my mobile while talking to the caller on the landline.

then just as the other end answered my call, i realized that his geographical jurisdiction does not cover the caller's place of assignment.  (they're on opposite ends of the archipelago!)  i said sorry, thank you and goodbye.

going back to the caller, i asked how come the person's name cropped up when he does not handle her area.

her reply:  i was told you know him so i mentioned his name.

huh?!  hahaha...  actually, i know all the heads of office handling each major geographic area...

new year picture-taking

a cousin-in-law was about to take a picture.

me:  ooops... please don't include my footwear...

cousin-in-law:  up to where?

me:  legs ok but don't show my slippers.

'healthy' cousin:  me, don't include my tummy.

fit and sexy sis-in-law:  ok, ok, let's just have a head shot.

chuckles  ; p

all the best for the new year everyone...  : )
