It's been a good week, with the double holidays on Tues and Thurs. It's technically an alternate work-day week...heh...
I went to catch Exorcism of Emily Rose on Weds evening. A good movie indeed. Dark and chilling, not your usual slipshod or cheap thrill scares. The actress was very accomplished in her portrayal of a possessed being. Sad too though, to imagine the torment she had to go through. That night, I must say that I did experience difficulties in sleeping. I kept seeing the contorted form of the actress in one of the scenes. Then again, it's the scaredy me we are talking about. Think for awhile at least, I would probably continue to visualise those few scenes. *Shudders* Some jumped during the movie too, so I guess it isn't just me. hehe...Well, it was certainly nice to have someone around me that evening. *grin*
That long break in between really got me feeling so lethargic, I wished I had simply submitted that leave form for Friday. Or at least half day for Friday. It got to a point where I really was tempted to tell my boss to let me off for the rest of the day. Then again, the aftermath of holidays means the amount of work waiting to be cleared is unimaginable. Besides, Isa had a really bad day yesterday, with all of us bugging her for delayed/urgent jobs. I wouldn't dare imagine leaving her to deal with these alone.
Our new designer is coming in on Monday, following Amy's departure. Her name is Angela, and she's supposedly strong in her design. I just hope she can handle the amount of work, which is undeniably mounting. Isa is just dying for someone to come in n do her share of work. Sigh.
Angela was shortlisted from a previous round of interview. Boss wanted to offer her the job then, but held back and in the end, she went on to another offer. She recommended Amy then. Of course, she has quitted that job now and is ready to join us. I still remember Cindy & Eve commenting about her dressing. In Eve's words, "Her blouse was so low, her boobs are ready to spill out!" To give her credit (or issit not?), she's voluptuous and has an ample bosom. Ahem. And she dresses sexily. Low cut tops, mini skirts, revealing dresses, that sort of thing. I'm not a prude, but I guess going to work in such clothings can be rather taboo in certain offices. Maybe she has been dressing this way her entire life, almost like a second skin, but I guess my office isn't THAT open-minded as yet. We are all okay people, not conservative, but I guess it's just sort of like a culture shock when someone dresses that way to work. Hehe...
Now we are all waiting to see what she would turn up in on Monday. Or at least in the days to come. Us girls were even giggling about the gentlemen in the office, like how they would react if she were to really turn up in some revealing or foxy dress perhaps? Haha...I only wish that she isn't some unscrupulous or conniving backstabber who will not hesitate to clean everyone off the slate on her way up. Somehow, each time we have a new person, I tend to feel some misgivings about the new girl. *shrugs* Let's hope I'm wrong of course...for Isa's sake especially.
