A Matter of Perspective
Met Guppy Ghalpz to watch "Flag of our Fathers" last Sat. Being totally clueless about the movie, I must say it was a good war movie. War movie is one of my favourite genres.
In the movie theatre, we exchanged a quick update whilst the trailers were running through. So it went something like this:
GG: I mis-caculated my leave when I transferred to another department. What was actually 2 days of leave became 10 days. I can't clear them by Dec.
Azure: How can you miscalculate?! Please don't do charity and donate it to the organisation. That would be damn stupid.
GG: Well, my boss is pretty nice, he said I could just clear them in-lieu in Jan since I have alot of work to do in Dec. That's really decent of him.
Azure: WOW! That's soooo nice of him. I have quite a few days to clear too but work has been busy and I'm feeling stressed trying to clear mine. Mine told me that I could clear my leave in Dec but should come in to clear my work even when I'm on leave. It was hinted at me a few times.
Well, what can I say? Her organisation is more bureucratic than mine yet the flexibility shown sometimes astounds me.
To borrow a phrase from YL - Craparooooos!
