gee today has to be probably the 1st time that i felt great working in this company.
Gerry and i today shared our real 1st laughter together. It was a joke aimed at the seemingly cantatonic lifestyle of being an auditor(which i foresee i will become eventually that is IF i do graduate successfully).
Auditors lead a sad existence. They work late into the night, say 3a.m and they still report to work as usual, that is 8a.m. CRAZY! This explains why many auditors left the industry after 2 years because the workload if simply too much. After experiencing what my colleagues are going through now, i am beginning to see that being in a corporate office, isn;t going to be a breeze.
Anyway, back to the HIGHLIGHT of the day. I visited the FISH TANK again asking about the MOO orders for zinc contracts and of cos, the 'walking encyclopedia', Irene is always around and she's the one i always ask if i have any doubts.
I struck a conversation and asked if she was from NUS Business to which she said no and nothing else. And then the French, Ken HAD to interject: "You know you should ask irene out for coffee and then treat all of us coffee because we have to cover her workload. Don't look at her this way;she says ya nice and that and i really think you should ask her out'
I was dumbstruck. She was dumbstruck. Nobody expected him to say this. Has to be the French.
Then another caucasian started laughing and i turned red. She turned red as well and this French(his name is Ken) keeps saying " Take her for coffee!"
I told him if i do that, my salary is low and hence i can't afford to treat everyone coffee. I like this guy- he's kinda funny. Ken is one person i would love to know better. and of cos Irene and the rest of the dealers.
To be honest, i couldn't concentrate on work after that. I left the dealing room mumbling" I should be going now" and the other caucasian laughed: "You guys are scaring him away!!"
haha, lets hope my days in the future will be like this. I would really love to have coffee with Irene btw...
