Off to Tokyo

Got an unpleasant shelling from the boss a few minutes ago for something that is unrelated to my area. Hot damn. The prospect of going to Tokyo and sitting in the same plane for 6 hours with the boss is beginning to look hellish. I think I prefer to stand on one foot and balance a bucket of water on my head for six hours rather than sit next to him in a small economy cabin.

This trip is going to be bad. I can feel it in my bones. I know next to nothing about the purpose of the trip and was only "arrowed" because the person in charge was leaving soon so they want to give me exposure. Sometimes I wonder whether their kind of "exposure' means staying up late, run from hotel to hotel without even noticing the scenery and standing around to take the blame when something entirely unconnected to me crops up in the wrong way. I am hardly surprised though, since afterall, I have been around for some years and know exactly how this place works.

And I did not get any suitable clothing for Tokyo which is experiencing -3 degrees at night. DAMN. I want to go shopping on the last day. Guess I just have to buy my stuff at the Narita duty free shops.

And the friend who disappointed me by wanting to sell me some MLM things a while back just called me and asked how is my dad. He then quickly switched the conversation to me buying his MLM stuff which are all detergents and household products like toothbrushes. But this time, he confessed to me that he was desperate and needed to meet this month's quota. Seeing that he is at least honest, I decided to buy S$100 worth of household products just this once.

DOUBLE SIGH. I wish I am in Laos.
