Interview fiasco

My company is on expansion mode….so we are hiring….on a side note, I am kind of piss that my seniors does not see me as the perfect candidate to promote…nevertheless, I am ever grateful that I have met a bunch of crazily smart ppl to work with…hence, I shall not complaint…truth is, complaining never does help smooth things out…it only aggravate a badly misunderstood situation. So…rather than hearing disgruntled groans from me, I shall tell you abt the fiasco going on in my company.

To appreciate this blog entry, you need to understand a few salient points of the perceived Leleente in the work environment.

For a start, ever since the days of Troy (where the sight of brad pitt almost made me swoon….)….I have been “perceived” to be infatuated with him, his butt and every other hot bods in the world!! ….the “perceived” me is suppose to be in love with brad pitt and I am a woman eater of hot bodies….

It got so out of hand that my boss sms-ed me on a Saturday night telling me that Brad and Jennifer are on the split.
It got so out of hand that one of my colleague actually sms-ed me on a Tuesday night to watch channel 70 astro for ManHunt!! At 10pm for crying out loud!! It is terrible!!

Yet, I enjoyed all the attention accorded to ME!!! In many ways, I feel that they care so much abt me….and it is rather fun just to banter away lightly…

Another colleaguea even bought me a Brat Pitt calendar….12 different facet of HIM!!....and I hung it on the wall overlooking myself! Hehehhe….just like my boss hung his “thai” girls calendar overlooking himself….but smartly hidden from the naked eye…peeking every so coyly from his room door!...i always complain that that calendar makes us more like a mechanic workshop rather than a professional house!...hehehhehe…that is my boss for you…forever so creative, cool and fun

But I digress. Another colleague is overseeing the interview process for the past two days or so. And I, who is supposedly the chick still in the market, am “perceived” to pound on every tom, dick and harry that comes for the interview. My coll said that because he actually considered my pathetic position i.e. single and available, he actually decided to interview two thirds guys…just so that I get a chance at feasting my eyes on the species called man!

And everyone is such a busybody…every time someone new comes along for the interview, we congregate and actually check out the interviewee’s vital stats (i.e. pretty or not? handsome or not?)….

And last evening, my coll came over and handed me a document and asked if I can get it stapled (which is already perfectly stapled!!)….so, I walked towards the meeting room, peek…analyse, hid behind the pillar and looked at my coll…simultaneously giving him two thumbs up sign…the whole gang erupted in laughter! If only you can imagine the fun we all had.

The same thing happened today: my interviewer coll came up to me and asked me: Are you not thirsty yet? ….that question caught me off guard. I was puzzled. What did he mean by that? Then he started walking away. I caught up with him and asked what he meant by that? Then he said: Don’t you need to get water refill?

And bingo! I got it…he was signaling that the guy in the conference is CUTE!!! I took my cup, ran to the pantry…whilst my coll waited for my two thumbs up….and I gave him one thumbs up!

Bloody wonderful colleagues I have!! LOL!!!
