Let The Office Posts Started

Nothing fancy about my job, I'm just a secretary for a legal department which consists of me, 5 men (4 of them with law background) and 1 male intern. That makes me the prettiest one in the office, no matter what (except the days I wear jeans, sneakers and polo tshirt - I look like a dude too).

Every morning (with an exception on days when my boss is on his leave, we try to skip this) we always have 3-4 hours meeting. Looking from the duration, we don't always talk about work. I work with funny people who are constantly teasing each other even about work.

When I say funny it's not just hilarious funny but weird funny too, all of them have kinky notion about most of everything. Hence I have to be careful of what I say, else they'd corner me with their "interpretation" of my words.

My boss is a funny technology challenged man. He most of the time sounds like he's mad about things, but that's just how he talks. This is what happened yesterday:

Boss: hey look at this *pointing at his iPhone* isn't it a middle finger?
Coworker: nah that's a thumb
(He came to me to show the text)
Me: doh sir, that's a thumb.
Boss: now how do I get that kind of sign?
Me: download the emoji bla bla
Boss: hush hush just get me that (handed over his iPhone)

Then days before when I was sick:
Boss: what's wrong with you?
Me: dizzy, guess it's my anemia
Boss: that's the memory loss right?
Me: ..... that's amnesia

Nice try boss!

Indonesians and Sunglasses

I reckon some time after wearing contact lenses, my eyes get quite sensitive. I started to feel blinded by lights. I, since then, wear sunglasses a lot. By a lot means I have lots of them :D

The thing is Indonesians think sunglasses as something FANCY. They... We... associate sunglasses with celebrities. I guess back then it's an expensive thing and only certain people can buy it. But dudes, that's far in the past yet I still get the bad influence from that era even from someone I know. Like one day on lunch break we went to the mall by public vehicle, an intern girl at my office said "wow you look like a celebrity, taking public vehicle" DOH.

That's nothing compared to this one hot day when I decided to go swimming. I didn't bother to wear my contact lenses cos I was going to swim, it was blasting hot outside so I wear my prescribed sunglasses. As I walked into the hotel I knew it would be too dark to wear sunglasses but heck it was just short walk to the pool, why bother to change to glasses. So I walked to the pool... noticed people were looking at me, sat at the usual corner and as I was getting ready to swim I heard giggle and a girl said to her friend "is she blind?" and more giggle. I stood up and glared at them. "Are you retarded to think a blind person could walk by the pool?" said my glare.

Moral of the story, some Indonesians choose to squint their eyes blinded by the sun. Some are normal....

Balikpapan Gulf

Sometimes good things happen unplanned, or not well planned, just happen. Last week on March 2nd, with just a little of organizing, me and other 8 people went to Balikpapan gulf.

I was curious about this place, and here are some of the pics of what I saw.
