gossip and intentions

In an act of defiance, i suppose, the star of yesterday’s office drama came to office in the same dress!! Disgusting – for one, you don’t wear the same dress two days in a row to office; secondly, the dress does not do anything for her other than expose what is not worth looking (i being the mean cat asked S “whatever is she thinking – even with that dress, no one is going to fall for her”! i can be mean but that is the truth. She does not have the looks or the personality to attract anyone. Well, my fangs and claws are really out today!).

S has (ok, my tiny manipulative hands are behind this) reported this to HR. Once might be written off as a mistake. But showing such act of defiance – well, it ruffled our feathers. OK, i am all too aware of the freedom of expression and all that. But hello, this is the office. There is something called decorum. We hardly care if she were to strut in a two piece bikini after office hours or cavort under the waterfalls a la Mandakini.

i will be going home tomorrow for a week. Not too excited about it – i have not faced the winter cold of Imphal for years. Hell, i even feel cold over here in this non-existent winter. All my winters in Imphal were spent with a blocked nose regularly nourished with Vicks and regular steaming session to unclog my respiratory system which just cannot stand cold. i guess i shall have to resort to sleeping with hot water bags again. How hot is that?!

After i come back, i would have to really buck up and catch up on my coding. The beginning of the new year shall see me, hopefully, less quarrelsome, less of door slamming, more of an understanding partner (god bless my soul which has such good intentions!)…If only intentions were all that mattered…..
