Office Characters

For this post, I shall describe some of the unqiue people in my office. This is something for me to remember by if I even leave this company one day ...




the dirty old man (dom)
He's the lao ti go, the dirty old pervert in our group. The way he teaches the new guy or girl in our group is vastly different. With the girl(regarless of looks), he tend to be gentle, patient and explains stuff in great detail. He will make sure she understand what is being taught. But for the guy, oh good luck to him, he's being taught the bare minimal. If the new guy makes a mistake, will surely scold him loud enough for boss to hear. This perverted old man will give this Smeagol smile whenever he notice a pretty girl around. Not only that, he will choose to see a female doctor whenever he's sick or pretend to be sick. Heard that this sicko even mentioned to the lady doc that he has an erectile problem. yucks. Somebody should get a gun and shoot him dead. This sick old man don't deserve to live.

the sleeping analyst
Back in our meeting room office space, he openly sleep on his armchair. With a pillow supporting his neck. Right in front of boss somemore. I salute him.

the househusband
During holidays shift, he'll cook lunch for the four of us and bring to the office. Really touched by his act of kindness. Whoever do holiday shift with him will be bless by his lunch. Cos he knock off at 3pm, he'll go back home to cook dinner for his wife. This kind of man where to find?

the nosy auntie
She likes to poke nose into a lot of stuff, as ridiculous as it seems. "Who pay for the lunch?" she once asked when boss brought our colleagues out for lunch. The auntie tend to have wide and strong network with other aunties from other groups or departments. Much wider coverage than Singtel I presume. Nothing can really escape their eyes or ears.

the OT queen
Somehow or somewhere, she will manage to clock OT for most of the days. She will give a good reason to justify her OT (of coz!). And she will mention that she has claim way under the hours she has worked.

your friendly manager
He will go away talking to people and try to strike up a friendly conversation and make the other party feel funny and nice. When passing by a group of staff chatting, he would be found passing by making some silly comments. He's our friendly uncle in the neighbourhood.

the mad scientist
He says things which we don't understand. We might not even wanna understand them. The funny thing is he's being accepted by a 2nd-tier university in States to study bio stats. Maybe he'll major in Vital Statistics. hahaha. Yet he postpone his enrolment when he got a contract job in this company. Saying "only this company recognises his talent". I wonder what other didn't see in him. He likes to give confusing excuses when he has made a mistake. Good tactics man.




So many interesting people in my office, like a zoo.
