this has been the first (of many to come) truly slacking day for me since i got the feeling i was being phased out and rendered obsolete. for the first time in 7 months, there was absolutely nothing meaningful to do at work. of course, i am now secretly, as in without even my own knowledge, promoted/re-positioned as CONSULTANT which, by definition, is "one who gives professional advice or services" i suppose when deemed necessary. today consultation was not deemed necessary. so i did:

09:30 Punch card
09:31 Exit office for Family Mart
09:33 Order coffee, decide between pork bun/eggs/bread
09:45 Back in office, answer MSN, check facebook, play scrabble
12:30 Exit office, take MRT to F*d*x to meet 38's coworker for writing jobs
13:30 Coffee with 38
14:30 Back in office, resume online activities, read forwarded jokes
15:30 Begin monthly expense claims
16:30 Realize am rich. Decide to see David Tao in concert.
17:45 Answer retarded question asked by new girl
18:00 Slowly wrap up expense claim report
18:20 Clean desk, bathroom
18:30 Punch card, exit office, get ride from hen8

it ended perfectly with crepe dinner and finding the perfect little neighborhood pub with a cool owner and a bottle of chilean red. i'm a happy overpaid consultant.
