Bullocks moments...

Another one of my "not so clever moments".. i seem to be having a lot of this things lately, It's our deadline at work, very busy of course and on top of that i seem to be getting all of the irate customers, I wasnt having a very great day and i'm not a happy camper at all!!Anyway while i was on my break, my boss was handing out a copy of our new rosters and oh by the way 2 weeks ago, i emailed the person that is in charge of the roster cc'd it to my immediate boss about my new availability, so i was expecting them to give me the hours that i requested since i rarely change availabilities, I have always work the hours they gave me happily and without complain, eventhough, there were suppose to change my availability every month automatically, have been working with this company for 4 and a half years to date and if i remember it correctly i probably have changed availabilities 3 times, upon receiving my new roster i found out that not one day that i was rostered according to my request, anyway i emailed my supervisor and told her " i'm sorry but i cannot work these hours as i have other commitments", she emailed me back and said, just email this X person and get it rectified and p.s. she said - it's really hard to get your roster right especially when you change your availability so often (this was coming from my supervisor). Well i didn't take this comment very well at all, upon reading it, i was agitated and angry that she said that, as i've mentioned earlier, have been working with the company for 4.5yrs and have only requested to change my working hours 3 times max, so i was sitting there fuming and mumbling to myself, " I don't believe this!!", i need to vent out, so i thought i will forward my boss's email to Chad and winge about it at the same time, so i wrote an email that's a little out there(angry email) - but remember that i'm venting out because i'm upset, and wrote somethings which i shouldn't have, hit the send button!! and as soon as i did it - i thought i saw my bosses name in the To: section instead of Chad's name, i realized right then and there that i replied to my boss's email instead of hitting forward and send it to Chad.. Whooopsy Daisy, this is Bullocks!! oh dear oh dear is the only thing i can think of to say:) I have no means to stop the email from going through is there?.. so there's no point fretting, so i just let it go and moved on and i said to myself "Well at least my boss now know how i feel:) After 10 minutes or so, i got an email back from her saying: Is this for me?? - I replied - No! - it wasn't intended for you it was meant for someone else, i was venting out and upset that instead of hitting forward, i hit reply, oh well at least you now know how i feel!! I thought that she will reply and say - You're fired Irene but instead she emailed me back and said - It's okay! you can vent out anytime you want:) So see how bullocks that was?? lol:) Well she haven't fired me yet.. so watch out for my next blog.. because that's probably the next subject hehehe.... stay tune!!

Leave it to the Pro

Such a rookie mistake!! Friday night the 1st of August 2008 at 7.30pm, the boys are playing Xbox live (Chad and his younger brother came over for a cricket training for the next day, that's why he's over that night, so he's also able to witness my stupidy), Anyway i was bored.. so i decided i should do something to amuse myself right?? aside from reading books or watching a dvd..so i said to myself why not do some girly stuff?? (that's a great idea Irene i mumbled!), went to the bathroom and started looking in the cupboard under the sink where i keep my girl stuff, like waxing strip etc..:), since i havent pluck my eyebrows and they're kinda getting bushy (well i'm exagerating) and i'm starting to get a mustache too lol:) so why not wax?? so i did my mustache first - the result - fantastic!!, then hmm i should do my eyebrows too right?? i might as well. NOTE: I'VE NEVER WAX my eyebrows before on my own, my hairdresser always done it for me. So to save myself from those one by one plucking sting, i might as well have a go at waxing at least i would only have to feel the pain ONCE, so i've put the strip on, then i counted one.. two.. three...and then.. ripped and SCREAM!!!! NO!! wait i didnt scream because of the pain, i screamed because of the result: whaaaaa!!! (, Chad came in to check what's wrong, (by the way this is a good technique to get the boys attention away from the XBOX:) but not a very bright idea to make yourself a complete idiot:( anyway, so i showed him, and he said why did i do that??am i stupid or stupid?? - what a nice way of empathizing right??, but that's Chad, that's how he lets you know he cares:) anyway he walked away went back to whatever he's doing while i was busy patching it up, Chad and Cody is having a great laugh of their life (I am the laughing stock by the way).. anyway to make the long story short, he took a photo of me.. and would not stop laughing!! So i said to myself from now on, I will leave the waxing to the pro's, because i wouldnt want to have a patchy eyebrows ever again.. good thing there's MAC the eye line -thank goodness, and what a good coincidence that i have a fringe or a bangs as some people would call it. So whatever you do, don't repeat my rookie mistake, there are somethings that are better left to the pros:) like waxing for example - unless you trust/brave enough to do it yourself, which i thought of myself by the way but still ended up with a very bad result.... so until then.. or should i say till my next embarasing moment:)
