the Bear SG part of my job.. sometimes i have to work weekends.. 6:30am so i can shave and all that... Mass is 7:30am.. we're borrowing the auditorium of the school near the church because the church is going through some needed renovations before the ceiling falls in and kills one of us the other Masses are at 9am and 10:30am they're pretty packed so i've decided to go for the early one.. maybe i'll ask others to see if their churches have sunset Mass on saturdays or sundays.. that's when i usually go
av98m SG I originally wanted to call my blog "life sucks and then you die" but the name already taken. *grumbles*
honeymouse SG I see. Yes, you told me that your church is currently undergoing renovation. When is it going to finish?
the Bear SG probably a few months... but we've secured the use of the school auditorium until March.. hopefully it'll be okay by then..
honeymouse SG Another 2 months, think that should be done. Are you going to work night shift or just a few hours only?
the Bear SG just a few hours... we are to man a booth to talk to the public... should be from 2pm to 5pm.. but the idiots want us to be there at 1pm.. we only need 3 minutes to set up the booth! oh well.. it's a job... we do get time-off for these things but i've accumulated so much.. maybe it's time to clear some
honeymouse SG At least you got time off for that, that's good. I sometimes need to work on weekend too but I still need to go to work as usual on Monday and no overtime pay either
the Bear SG oh dear... my section fought hard and long for that time off.. the management didn't want to give it to us but i think the division boss said that it wasn't fair as the section has only 3 people and we have to go do these things almost 15 to 20 weekends of a year.. and we have our other duties too.. and for a change, we won
honeymouse SG That's good. Oh well, at least it doesn't happen to me very often.... only happened about 2 times last year. I am working in telecommunication sector (infrastructure only) so whenever we need to change the mount of the antennas, it means a full outage is required. To minimize inconvenience to the customers, the work can only be carried out on the weekend. Anyway, when I did work on the weekend, I might just go to work slightly later than normal. My manager usually quite flexible about it.
the Bear SG ahhh.. a flexible boss.. that's good one of the good things around my boss just got promoted last year.. so her rank is out of whack with her position.. and her husband is a Dy Director of operations so people do listen... but maybe it's where she came from, she's always politically correct and sometimes, politics come into play too much.. but that's from her side.. my organisation went through a merger.. i'm from one side and she's from the other.. thing is, before the merger, their side played dirty and there was an across the board promotion of almost all the staff.. so we're now very top-heavy with a lot of management from their side.. the culture of the two sides are very different.. the senior officers of the other side was coddled and did almost nothing while their junior officers did almost everything.. while our side, we all pulled out weight... after the merger, it was hard for them.. but hey.. we adapt i'm still wondering how the section will hold up this year.. my colleague is being transferred soon, and the boss will have to be transferred because her rank is way too high for this little section... i'll be the only one who knows the work
honeymouse SG I hate company politics and I hate people abusing their power too. Even though I am a female, I think males make a better boss sometimes. Females can be very B-I-T-C-H-Y, moody, inflexible etc. Hmm... I shouldn't criticise my own gender should I? Anyway, going off now. Good night. Bye!!!
viciouskitty74 SG I am starting to love the airports. Aircon, security & free internet! Though I was too early at 4am. Turns out. They dont need early check in when its a morning flight. They only start the counters exactly 3 hours before the flight.
sbst275 SG Anyway, something is funny... Pak Lah talked abt the poor drainage that could be the culprit for the massive flood in Johor that strucked twice They longed knew abt this but waited till the flood came which cost more to repair the damages
