Being extra is sometimes out of no choice...

These days, I've sort of disappeared from my usual workplace and relocated myself to somewhere more peaceful, less stressful, and somewhat more motivating. When I reappeared, Vic told me that a handsome guy is looking for me for the past two days. Wah, rare incident - I mean after Jo left, there's no more nice-looking person around to allow our eyes to have a little stray (i mean rest) away from the glare of our monitors. Not to say someone who resembles yu2 wen2 le4 (oh, that's what Vic said - sure or not? will check it out myself) is LOOKING for me... hahah... anyway, before you got it all wrong (or rather, I got it all wrong), this don't-know-who is looking for me... to get hold of the license key. (Cheh!)

Last mon, my boss sent me an email to ask me to lend a helping hand to Darkie... Top-down requests cannot be rejected. So I "willingly" spent 2-3 hours guiding him on how to do a simple model (... harder ones you have to experiment yourself... else, 2-3 days may also be insufficient). This stupid software has a steep learning curve (at least that's what I think). Anyway, I realized subsequently that he didn't really have the intention to use this software cos he already had his mind fixed on another one. Wah lao, waste my time.

Now, there's another one... but it's funny, cos' this time round, there's no top-down request? Preferential treatment exercised becos' they are of different kind? Anyway, none of my biz. The only thing we questioned is whether "some good-looking guys are no brainers"... LOL... cos if I were him, I would not spend time waiting till the cows come home or till neck is long enough to join the zoo as a giraffe exhibit. I would just ask for that person's number or email so that I can contact him/her straight away. No initiative one. In the end, I had to ask Vic to pass him the server name and port number (cos' I've already set up a server for them to access the license) and an email for him to contact me if there's any problem... when did I become so EXTRA? (Tell you why: I've accepted that fact that I'm the remaining target board for all accurately-shot arrows to fall on... sooner or later, I have to do it... that's why!)
