Upset

My company was bought over and I mentioned it before.
Besides having to relocate physically, we have to be integrated into different teams in our parent company too.
As most of us have multiple roles now, it was extremely difficult to map us to new teams that were very functional.
I am doing sales support and is responsible for pre-sales, service delivery and post sales activities. For the longest time, they had no idea where to put me.
When they finally decide to put me to pre-sales....they do not know what I can continue to do under the new business structure.
When a new post came up....I was excited and thought its a fresh new start and so I jumped to the post sales team.
Apparently NOT.
Just found out that it's pretty much what I do now...with an expanded role.
What's worse...I have just found out I need to cover my colleague in Malaysia as well.
Atrocious...and I am quite upset.
I would rather stick to pre-sales if that is the case.
I need to find a new job. FAST.

Ping Pang Piangz!!

OK this subject does not make much sense to anyone but it was exactly how I felt tonight.
I had not driven for a long time and I drove tonight.
And I got stopped by traffic police.
Why? I cut lanes too abruptly and right immediately after, forgot to go into 1st gear from neutral gear whilst trying to turn right and the car engine was just revving
Oh that is not all! The policeman asked for my license and in a moment of panic...I forgot where I put my license.
Thought it was in a small bag in the boot and was rummaging for it before he said my IC will do too. I was also mumbling sheepishly that I have not driven for a long time and that I forgot to go into gear.
With my IC in his hand, he asked what class of license I had.
My mind went blank for awhile before I said, "Class 2."
OMG OMG!!!! He must have thought I was drunk.
How more stupid can I be? Finally remembered my license was in my wallet all the time and handed it to him before he could say more.
After a long while, he told me to drive carefully before letting me off.
He must think I am the most horrendous woman driver he ever met and I can imagine him relating the dumb woman story to his colleagues.
I even thought he might have radioed all his colleagues to keep a lookout for my car tonight.
No words to describe but seriously PING PANG PIANGZ!!!

English

For the longest time, I spelt "Definitely" as "DefinAtely".
No one ever corrected me until Cornball did one day.
Gosh and I always thought I will win hands down if I ever join a spelling bee contest.

Then of cause there is the pronounciation.
I always thought the word "picturesque" was pronounced as "pik-ch&-Q".
Imagine my horror when realization struck me that the word used by the Discovery Channel Travel & Living hosts was pronounced as "pik-ch&-'resk"
I am so Duh!!

Talking about idiosyncrasies, I have been using the word idiocrasy out loud!
Geesh I do believe if I ever have to write the word, I would have realized the word is spelt wrong and hence pronounced wrongly. Alas I did not realize it soon enough before I got corrected - by Cornball yet again.
Tell me about being the epitome of displaying exactly this word!

Corridor

My neighbours leave all sorts of things along the corridor outside their homes.
Aside from some who have an entire garden growing on their corridor, there are others who treat the corridor like their storeroom.

There are some who have the entire living room out on the corridor.
Haha with a full lounge sofa to boot.

I have a neighbour who probably ordered some furnishings from Indonesia.
So one fine day, two HUGE crates was delivered to his home.
How I knew? He left both crates outside his unit on the corridor.
The crates stayed on the corridor for nearly one year.
And he only moved one inside his home a few months back.
One HUGE wooden crate is still stuck on the corridor.

I saw this outside another neighbour's that day.
Such a weird combi....to have an incense urn with a little piggie plush on top.
