The Lazy Days

I'm at work right now. Sitting and staring at the screen. My fingers numbly moving about. Feeling .. and touching the alphabets on the keyboard. The click click of the keys sounds oddly soothing, slowly spelling out words and forming sentences. Translating my thoughts .. illustrating ... I forgot what I was about to say. I got called away 'in the line of duty'.

My colleagues called me to look at a document and a trade to try to figure out and distinguish two different compounding methods. I know the difference, but it's too technical I never bothered trying to figure out the calculations. I'd be darn crazy .. the formula is complex enough and the definitions ... don't get me started on that.

These people seem to have a joy for writing long winded sentences, and confusing anyone who attempts to make heads or tails of what they're trying to say. That's legal folks for you. Confusing normal, everyday folks is what they do for a living.

It's raining cats and dogs right now .. oh, wait. It's stopped already. But it was raining cats and dogs, the buildings and skyscrapers were hidden from view. My view. I didn't get a window seat.

I love window seats. I love to look outside. But I'm near enough to the world outside. My 3 years older 'twin' got the window seat. (She's my twin because we have a lot in common. We both came to work here at the same day, same induction group, same team, same process, and oh .. yeah. We were born on the same day - 3rd August, just 3 years apart.)

I'm supposed to do L2 checking for yesterday's executed trades. But I feel queasy looking at the documents. And I've only L2 checked 5 trades! Plus it's only 0840 GMT. It's the start of the day and I'm already getting bored. Maybe it's because tomorrow is F-R-I-D-A-Y!!!! I've been waiting for the weekend ever since last Sunday, when I realised the next day I have to go to work. I love the weekends. Not that I go out every weekend. Actually, I haven't gone out for months. No ... scratch that. I have gone out. Two weeks ago. We went to Mid Valley and then to The Gardens.

Hold the thought. My manager just came in.

Got to continue my work now.

Toodle-00.
