Thursday was the most dreaded day of all for the the past two weeks.
Our peaceful and serene office got broken when my boss came back from her leave. As usual, I got a call from her first thing in the morning to attend the briefing for her behalf as she said she has "lots of things to clear, to busy to attend the briefing". In the afternoon, she dragged me along for a meeting at the corporate office. I noiced that she wasn't paying attention at the meeting and looked bored and uninterested. My colleague was right in telling me that the sole purpose of bringng me to the meeting was to listen to the meeting for her so that she can know anything by asking me, assuming that I will listen and know everything that went on at the meeting. How terrible! Never have I seen a department head as irresponsible and lazy as her. At the meeting, everyone asked relevant questions at appropraite points. For her, she was uninterested. Another dept head who came with us gave me puzzling looks on why my boss looked so bored in the meeting as there were several good points to take note of. Then suddenly at the later half, she asked a question that was slightly out of point and it showed that she doesn't know what the presenter was talking about. At one point, she even used a handout to hide herself as she primed and fussed over her hair with a mirror. How embarrassing.......
The usual crap went on at work the next day. A director from another dept brought to our attention that our email signature was missing of a corporate tagline in addition to our promotional tagline. When she emailed my boss about this, she just replied with an email signature instruction attachment and just shirked the responsibility to IT dept, saying that she instructed them to handle this some time ago. I felt she should inform everyone and emphasized on the corporate guidelines for email signature to make IT's job easier. As usual, she chose to ignore this. Its exasperating to work with her......
The comforting part for the past few days was meeting mel, sy and cher for dinner yesterday. They finished their exams this week and all of them looked relieved. We went to New York New 
York at City Link. I had the Philly Cheesy Steak Sandwich (If I remember correctly....). Its nice but the fries are salty and soggy. Mel didn't sleep at all the previous night and looked tired. I was irritating him with everything that I said in response to him......so funny : P. After settling the bill, we laid back in our seats thinking what else to do. And we continued by standing outside the restaurant still having no idea where to go. We walked slowly to the mrt station and then decided to go to mel's place to play mahjong. Talking, joking and laughing all the way to his place......when we sat down to play, mel's aunt mentioned that a guy who plays mahjong against three girls will end up losing to all. And its true! He lost to the three of us...oops....We stopped at 南风 (took two hours to play!) and decided to call it a day. Everyone was tired....
