What a Thunderstorm!

Should have listened to my feeling earlier!

Wanted to call in sick since I'm so tired and sleepy, just got home at midnite last night.
But then I remembered all my tasks that needed to be done today since it's month-end.
Had to post everything by 2PM today.
Also, we're supposed to have a meeting in the morning but she postpone it to next week.

Then there's the thunderstorm.
So dark, it almost like we're working at night time.
Rained so hard that you could hear the wind blowing and the rain splashed on the windows.
Thunders came next.

Blew out our electricity!

I was in the middle of typing a message on MSN Messenger to my friend (yes dear, I know, I said I was working, didn't I?) the power went out just like that!
It was around 10 AM.

Generator was on in minute or so but it only provided lights.
Couldn't do anything really...

10:05 Sat at my desk, texting my friends.
10:07 Walked around to the contract acctg dept.
10:15 Walked back to my desk since everybody was kind of went back to "work"
10:20 Sort my utilities bills and texting my friends
10:30 Texting my friends
10:50 Texting my friends, work a little bit. My boss went to tell us that she's leaving for early lunch.
11:00 Texting my friends
11:15 Texting
11:30 Bored to death and still texting
11:45 Talked to my coworkers
11:55 Went to lunch, couldn't stand it any longer.
11:57 Waiting for the only elevator-that-never-came, went down the stairs (oh, did I ever tell you that my office is on 7th floor? No? Well, now you know.)
12:03 Met my boss who's walking in to the building. *Damn, now she knows when I left...*
01:05 Went back to the office, the power's still out.
01:06 Missed the elevator, took the stairs.
01:10 3rd floor.. still ok... I can do it!
01:12 5th floor...dammit still 2 more togo!
01:14 6th floor....my leg hurts!
01:16 FINALLY! Never have I been so glad to see a door.
01:20 Went back to my humble cubicle.
01:30 yada yada yada...
01:40 My boss told me I could leave if I really don't have anything to do.
01:50 *thinking* Hmm... should I just leave?? But nobody's leaving... hmm..
01:55 Got my clorox wipes (love this stuff!) and cleaned my desk.
02:05 Talked to my coworkers
02:09 Getting ready to go home
02:15 Put away all my craps
02:17 Got my purse
02:20 About to walk to my boss's room to tell her that I'm leaving.
02:23 The power is BACK!! *CRAP! I really cursed myself for being a procrastinator! I should have left while I got the chance!!! Damn!*
02:20 Back to work as usual... catch the deadline that had been postpone til early tomorrow morning *better to finish them all today before I leave*



Moral of the story:
DON'T be a procrastinator (in moments that are important such as this)!

Trip to Seattle

Fucked up!





More stories (err..or maybe just stories =p) to come.....

New Rates

Starting Saturday, May 19th, the post rate will change from 39 cents to 41 cents.

Not really a problem for me since I pay almost all of my bills online.

BUT... not for my company since we have to send all these checks out through mail.

Apparently, not only did they increase the rate, they also set these ridiculous charges:

- additional charge for additional weights, I think it's for every pound? *well nothing new about this*
- additional charge for metal clasps on the envelope *wth?!*
- additional charge for brown envelopes? *I really need to get back with Emily the receptionist for this*
- I don't what the deal here, but Emily told us not to put more than 8 pages per regular-white envelope. I'm guessing there's an additional fee.
- I let you know more if I found out some more.

Seriously, they're rediculous. What they should do is close at 7 M-F! So we, working ppl, don't have to sacrifice our lunch time to wait in loooonggggg lines where they work so slow. Geezz we only get an hour, you know.

Oh, I finally found Teh Botol in asian grocery store... Soooo happy... hihihi *not related to the topic but I'm so happy that I have to mention it here heuheuhuhe*

Expat.... Oh Expat....

Whoa.. This is the first time ever that I'm writing a blog this early...=p *gini deh kalo gak ada kerjaan di kantor hehhehe... EH enak aja gak ada kerjaan! Gue lage lunch... tolong... =p*

Yesterday (at work of course), came across an expat's website. Expats in Indonesia to be exact.

http://www.expat.or.id

Got my attention because of one article (couldn't remember what it is now ^^)
Go to Aida Speaks Out and see it for yourself.

She's sarcastic, nope that's not the right word, cynical. Yes! that's the right word. She's a cynic. heuheuhe.. Maybe that's why it catch my attention =p

Anyway, I checked out the forum and read some of the threads. 2 threads made me itch to yell at those stupid (bule) men. *Gee Sen, I think I need to join you on that anger management class =p*

So this stupid man from UK (that's what I assumed anyway, intinya bulelah) Oh, before I go even further, will it help if I tell you guys his nickname? It's Jutawan, so go and look him up huehuehuhe...

He was asking for advices to the forum about coming to Indonesia to find a wife... *hari gini... what are we? A supplier of wives?! Damn, not only we're the biggest (at least according to my opinion) supplier of cheap labors (TKI) but apparently we are also wives supplier. D'oh!*

He's 40ish, and couldn't get any woman there in his home so his (stupid) friend told him to go to Indonesia since he got his wife from Indonesia too.

He also asked what he should do to this girl who emailed him (I guess, she wants him or something) but they have this 18 years of age-gap. >.<
He asked what he should do blablablabla... Oh and btw he's gonna spend about 90 days to find a wife.

Duh! Do you think finding a wife is like buying a candy? And besides, if what he wants is an Indonesia wife, can he not find an Indonesian woman there in his country?? Lord knows that our people is spread around the world.

Well, let me tell him, it'll certainly be easy for him to find a wife in that short of a time.
Just tell those silly women that he's from UK or something. Really, we aren't that particular on where you came from anyway, just as long as you're a bule, so we can brag to our friends that we could snatch a bule. And besides we all think you're rich anyway, so of course we'll go throw ourselves to your feet.

And another expat answered him that Jutawan'll find a wonderful wife that will take care of him just like his wonderful wife that he found in Indonesia when he couldn't get anybody back home.
I'm assuming by take care means that we serve them like a maid? Cook meals, clean the house, feed the kids, make their lives comfortable.....if you know what I'm saying ^.^ Dang! I didn't know that they're just the same like Indonesian men who needs their wives to serve them. ^^

Whoa! I didn't know that all the things that we had (or we'll get scowled for not wanting to learn) to learn long time ago from our moms, that they said it's for our own good when we're married later, is for us to be maids for those bule... huehuheuhe...

Came to think about it (I really need to stop thinking too much), from what I've seen and noticed, most of them prefer "traditional" wives. Ha! Wait til you marry her and you'll see how traditional she'll be, especially when they live abroad. God knows how many of them I've come across and thanks God I have a good (seriously!) self control not to blurt out my mind.

Cape dee... bule gedong doank....*pada tau kan gedong? Gede2 dongo? huahuha* no offense for you ppl who have Indonesian spouse OR bule spouse. If you're offended... too bad! I certainly didn't ask you to read this blog.. =p

To be continued when I'm in the mood to continue or maybe not... Right now I need to go back and earn my measly money.

*sigh*

Finally... I found out -- err.. more like I finally admitted ^^-- that I'm a shopaholic....

Dammit! Need help..... help donate some money so I can go and do more shopping.... =p

*sigh*
