Gibberish Rantings
351 views
I was out of town for two days to attend my cousin’s wedding. When I arrived home today, I had to rush up because I still had to report for work. There’s a helluva lot of things to do at work.
While I was with my family and relatives at the weddings’ reception, I was hoping I could get to enjoy the celebration and forget about work altogether just for a few hours.
But what the heck! The night was spoiled just by one SMS received. It was about work, work, work! Can’t it wait till I get back? This may sound crappy but spare me, please!
My mother and my relatives agreed in chorus that indeed it was trivial to inform me via SMS of the matter because nobody but me can resolve it. There was no sense letting me know by sending such agitating message. It’s like I will be gone forever!
The sender finally got my point after I sent her a reply explaining stuffs, blah! blah! and she retorted back:
“I can now imagine your facial expression, LOL! We will just wait for you, Madam. Enjoy!“
And I replied bluntly:
“Enjoy? You just spoiled the night.”
Anyways, pardon me for these gibberish rantings. The sender of the upsetting SMS really got under my skin. It’s one of the few times where I lose my cool and I lose grip of my sanity.
I want to have it back. Hitting the sack might be the remedy. I better get going now.
Nytie nyt everyone!

Wow, that's pretty bad, Lainy. It makes me mad when employers do stuff like this, and then try to play it off like it's not a big deal to them. Yet, from my own experience, they're the first to complain if it is done to them.
Sorry that your night was spoiled. Some people have no common decency to give an employee a small break from the daily grind.
Best wishes for you my dear friend!

Yes, David! It's over and done with now. I was able to fix the problem when I reported for work yesterday afternoon.
And, I had a good sleep last night
Thanks for the comment my dear friend!

Oh my dear Lainy, As they say in England 'What an absolute cheek!!' To be contacted in your own time by a work colleague on anything that is work related is a real 'NO NO.' Free time is such a precious commodity – it's the part of the day that we have chance to fill our spirit with joy and nourishment.
You are a model citizen …. many would be more than a little put out to be contacted out of hours unless it was truly a matter of life and death!
A hug and a squeeze, Polly x
