When The Cat's Away, The Mice Will Play ...

Where has the time gone? I've been so busy with work, which is a good thing really, that means there's more money coming in, that I didn't realize its been almost a week that I last wrote a post. Geez, I gotta start getting back into the groove of posting daily or at least a little more consistently otherwise I'm going to lose all my readers. You all won't abandon me now would you? LOL!

Anyways, nothing really much has been happening around these parts except that I've been up to my neck with office work. The worst part is I haven't even completed half of it and more keeps coming. This must be payback for the day off I took last two weeks ago. Remind me never to take holidays again.

Speaking of holidays and all that, my boss has gone overseas for a short break himself and left me in charge of the office. Not that there is anything much for me to be responsible for seeing as how the adage 'when the cat's away, the mice will play' seems pretty apt for me right now cos everyone just decided not to come in to work today seeing as how the boss isn't around! Damn them all to hell.

Because of that I'm left with having to do all their blooming work on top of my own. There's going to be some big time hell to pay when I see them next week! So utterly irresponsible of them. But at least my boss left me with this cute little assistant. She just loves running around all over me and longingly sits and stares at me while I work. And the best part is even wifey likes this cute little new assistant of mine :D Check out my other blog for pictures of this pretty gal :D

That aside, I've got a lot of catching to do on your blogs. I just checked my Google reader and almost fainted at the amount of new postings from you guys that I haven't read yet. It's going to take me all night and at least the better half of the morning catching up but catch up I will.

Before I start blog hopping, I must add this little bit of not very good news that I read about today. The government has decided to increase the fares for public transport over here. Well, fine and dandy, if the transport service here was decent to begin with. With the kinds of service they provide, I wonder what justification those 'learned' ministers in our government based their decision on?

In the first place, the people who rely on public transport are people who don't have their own transportation and the elderly and how is this going to affect them financially? I'm thankful that I don't have to rely on our public transportation which is next to useless!

And the Minister in Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Seri Nazri Abd Aziz said public transport companies were also expected to improve the level of their service in line with the raise in fares. Is that so? You think they will, ah? What makes you think that just because you've given them the option to increase their prices that will in turn make them improve their service? If you believe that Datuk Seri, I have a bridge in Uganda I'd like to sell to you.

Oh well, I suppose I shouldn't be so darned skeptical and maybe give these public transportation guys a chance to prove themselves first right? But then, I've seen and heard this crap so many times I'm so confident that we'll still get the same old crappy public transport service but with an increase in price. Now, you tell me who really benefits from all this? It's definitely not the public.

Ok there, I've got that off my chest, now I can go visit your blogs with a clear mind :D
