Finally!

I am at my desk, chomping through a gigantic sandwich for lunch today. I got it from Da Paolo and it's really huge. The entire thing is the size of my face. I had to give half of it away to my boss.

But the nice thing about eating at my desk today is that my desk is, as of today, no longer in the public space. Which means I no longer have to cower slightly when people walk past my cubicle or feel abashed that I am polluting the air with the smell of my food.

And that is because The Frou just got upgraded last night -- I have been moved to my very own office room. Complete with the view of the alibaba Singapore River (or longkang?), I now have have twice more work space and triple storage space. This morning, I got on a conference call from my new room and I had my feet on the table and I was juggling imaginery balls while talking into the speaker phone with my U.S colleagues. The nice folks around the office have dropped in today to congratulate me on my graduation from junior to senior minion. It feels really good to be given a space to breathe.

And now that I can finally have my lunch in peace and privacy, and since smell is of no concern to anyone, I'm going on a nasi lemak diet next week. Hello sambal petai!

My 2 Ganesh elephants by the window ~  my reminder to be CALM and WISE, Indian style.

You are officially appointed "EXECUTIVE SECRETARY TO THE PRESIDENT" as of today.Your job scope will remain the same. Your salary, still nil. Can?

My Ganesh looks at me every day at work. He whispers to me and tells me not to lunge at my boss and throttle her.

He is a wise one, that Ganesh.

*lunges and throttles*

I'm S'porean so I'll take anything to make my title BIGGER. Job scope same size nevermind - less is more. Salary - Executive Secretary writes all your cheques anyway so nevermind too :)
<*Note to Calendar: Buy BIGGER Ganesh for the Toe. Life-size maybe.>
