Scene 1: Inside the company’s toilet
First let me brief you, the reader, on some background information. I’m suppose to work at my aunty’s company in time to come so I’m suppose to call her colleague(s). Here goes the conversation. Words that are italic are what went through in my mind. Note that I did not verbally outrightly speak those words! :D
Receptionist: Good morning, ABC XYZ company.
Me: Good morning, is this Miss X?
Receptionist: Sorry, Miss X is busy on the line now. May I know where are you calling from?
Me: Erm…
Me: Huh? I’m calling from Singapore lah.
Me: Erm… sorry?
Receptionist: May I know where are you calling from?
Me: Erm…
Me: I’m calling from the toilet.
Me: Actually I’m calling from my handphone.
Me: Eh I’m calling from work.
Okay. Retarded conversation. I realise that I give retarded answers too.
Scene 2: In the company’s storeroom
Me, being the admin assistant has to do rubbishy odd jobs like pushing a noisy trolley to the storeroom to take out carton boxes containing various goodies to give to customers and pack them properly before bringing them back to the storeroom for storage purposes of course.
So while I was busy trying to carry the heavy carton of boxes, I saw not one but TWO kittens! *gasp* Okay, I admit. I’m scared of the wildlife. And besides they were staring straight at me ): If anyone’s wondering how those kitties got there, it’s because the pathetic storeroom has got fake ceiling that gave way and collapsed. So there’s a hole now……………………..
Ah ha. Then I informed this guy who I presume is in charge of miscellaneous stuff (including the storeroom) about the kitties. He decided to call the pest control. Heck. When were cats pest?
Scene 3: Inside the office
Since the storeroom is now inaccessible due to the presence of cats, I have nothing to do at all :(
So I doodled! There’s nothing spectacular about doodling but I call it constructive doodling! :D
I started proving Physics formulas followed by going through mechanisms of electrophilic addition, electrophilic aromatic substitution, unimolecular nucleophilic substitution and bimolecular nucleophilic substitution :)
Anyone wants to hire me to teach them Chemistry or Physics? XD
Scene 3 Act 2
While I was bending down to open up the boxes, two sales lady walked past me. Here goes their conversation.
Lady A: She’s going tomorrow leh.
Lady B: Really?
Lady A: Yup. Tomorrow’s the 9th. It’s her last day tomorrow.
Oh dear. I think they’re talking about me. By right I was suppose to leave on the 9th. But my supervisor’s boss asked me to stay till the 15th. I think my colleagues will be rather (un)happy to find out that I’m not leaving tomorrow :T I’m rather upbeat (downbeat) about it too. Cheers.

Haha, if only you’ve said those responses out loud! :P It’ll be nice to see how the other party reacts. Hmm, we’ve ought to conduct an experiment someday.
Kittens from the ceiling? Now, that’s something I’ll really like to see. Something similar happened in my cousin’s home several years back when he found four baby kittens hidden underneath his bathtub. (Similar to your case, they managed to get in via a hole somewhere, can’t remember where.) We had a great time playing with the kittens, although we couldn’t keep them. They were sent to the SPCA in the end!
