My sweet stash is diminishing at an astonishing rate. I come into work today and find my previously two thirds full JARS of sweets now HALF full. Somone in the office obviously has a sweet tooth. Plus we have managed to prove that we have a PSE in the office.
2 jars of sweet, one containing ONLY mint menthos and little bits of wrapped chocolates, the other containing ONLY yuppie cola jellies, fruit menthos and fruitella. Today, we found one mint menthos in the jar of fruity sweets. It couldn't have been me, 'cause I packed every single fruity sweet into the 2nd jar and made sure that there wasn't ANY mint menthos in it. Elaine wouldn't put a sweet she took out back into the jar. The PSE put a mint menthos into the jar meant for fruity sweets!!
I suspect we have more than 1 PSE though. Unless the known PSE gets hypoglycemia(spelling?) in a matter of minutes, I don't see how the sweets could have gone down that quickly. Which means we have at least one unknown PSE! Funny, accountants have the time and cash to buy foods like Delifrance pastries, ya kun kaya (some spread you get from sugar, eggs, coconut milk) toast and chocolate eclairs would bother to nick SWEETS (a combined total of $5) from temporary workers! Not to mention they have their own stash (one tray) of swiss rolls (pre-packed), chocolates and instant noodles. Why my poor sweets?? Why? I'm feeding a mini-army here. I need a sweet dispenser, to which only Elaine and I have the keys. This ensures that the PSEs PAY for the sweets.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not being stingy. I think there is a difference between respectfully taking sweets from a colleague to whom you've had a prior understanding with and taking it without permission aka stealing. I wouldn't mind so much had the PSEs asked if they could eat some of the sweets. They're just sweets for goodness sake. But it is a matter of principle.
Our 3rd jar of candied walnuts is going down too.
We're temp staff for goodness sake! We probably earn only one third of what the people there earn, and they're stealing from us!! The irony.
I cracked a joke and told Elaine, tomorrow we should count the number of sweets in each jar and paste a sticker on it. Come in the next day, and count, update the number. I can only imagine the bemusement on the faces of the PSEs when they realise we're sweet counting. Hehe.
Waiting for the GCE A level results is driving me nuts. Every day, I think of scenarios that could happen. Me doing pretty well for the exams, me failing it. THat feeling is horrible. I wish for good results, I really do.
Tiring day at work today. The Oven drove me insane by making me copy and paste information from the ancient template to the new one. And the formulae were no longer applicable. So I ended up spending 6 hours amending formulae on Excel. I admit, I am no Excel pro, but I try. 6 hours of staring at Excel, resisting the urge to yank (limited) hair our of my scalp in frustration. Now I love JJ. And I hate companies D and I.
The recruitment manager from Manchester Uni replied and it seems that he isn't too offended by my typo the other time, maybe he is, but he isn't showing it. Thankfully.
Kinokuniya has Marley And Me! Yay. It costs a whopping $38.85 though =(
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
