Sick & Tired
4 days has past since the end of Singapore Marathon and I have to put in a single km into my weekly run. The reason for this is coz I'm down with a bad bout of flu. I can't smell, my throat itches like hell and my body is so weak. I don't think I can last 2km on the tarmac.
Work never seems to end and I barely have time to rest. I think the office has become my 2nd home coz I now work 12 hr days and sometimes more. Sheesh! this is what you pay to move forward. Well, progress is better than regressing. I now fear that I won't be able to make it for the Mizuno Wave run. I'll keep my fingers crossed and finish my whole course of medication and be well enough to take part in the last event of the year.
===================================================================
Can the weddings stop?
This year is one hell of a year for weddings. Imagine getting 'summoned' 5 times in a month. Since the beginning of September till dunno when, I'll be attending weddings. I have 2 weddings to attend this weekend and 1 more next month. When will this ever stop??

TESTICULATING. Waving your arms around and talking Bollocks.
BLAMESTORMING. Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.
SEAGULL MANAGER. A manager, who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
ASSMOSIS. The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss, rather than working hard.
SALMON DAY. The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream, only to get screwed and die.
CUBE FARM. An office filled with cubicles.
PRAIRIE DOGGING. When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and people's heads pop up over the walls to see that's going on. (This also applies to applause for a promotion because there may be cake.)
SITCOMs. Single Income, Two Children, And Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids or start a "home business".
SINBAD. Single working girls. Single income, no boyfriend and desperate.
STRESS PUPPY. A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiny.
PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE. The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
ADMINISPHERE. The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve. This is often affiliated with the dreaded "administrivia" - needless paperwork and processes.
404. Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not Found," meaning that the requested document could not be located.

BEER COAT. The invisible but warm coat worn when walking home after a booze cruise at 3 am.

BRITNEY SPEARS. Modern Slang for 'beers', e.g. "Couple of Britney's please"
JOHNNY-NO-STARS. A young man of substandard intelligence, the typical adolescent who works in a burger restaurant. The 'no-stars' comes from the badges displaying stars that staff at fast-food restaurants often wear to show their level of training.
MILLENNIUM DOMES. The contents of a Wonderbra, i.e. extremely impressive when viewed from the outside, but there's actually naught in there worth seeing.
MONKEY BATH. A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you go: "Oo!Oo!Oo! Aa!Aa!Aa!".
MYSTERY BUS. The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the toilet after your 10th pint, and whisks away all the unattractive people so the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back in.
MYSTERY TAXI. The taxi that arrives at your place on Saturday morning before you wake up, whisks away the stunner you slept with, and leaves a 10-Pinter in your bed instead.
