working overtime doesn’t have to be terrible

Yep! your eyes are not tricking you..
what you see on the pic is what it seems!
And yep, this is the Valentine decoration the staff at where i work thought of.
Told yah they were wacky!
Yeah, sure, you may click the pic for a better view. sorry tho its not as big as i planned. but you can see it clearly enough to distinguish that the bubbly thingies hanging on our ceiling are not balloons! (wondering tho who blew all those, countung that we have more than 1 floor full of these) and yep those are little cupids with hearts too…
cute huh? the cupids? nhe not that…
Anyway, weeks ago i mentioned we were having that party at work. well half the day we made calls still, but half was eating and playing around. haha.. just like kids we had games. but hmm.. interesting games (for a known Catholic country, that is!)
Details? hmm it wasnt a big deal, but it was funny to watch (read: i was not among the ones who played) they had the “blow the biggest erm…” see.. i can’t even say it! haaa! the game title was “Blow my Thing” (as in that thing hanging from por ceilings.. imagine one falling on your head while making a call!) and haaa.. the winner was a man! tssk.. ok… moving on..
Another game was named “Eat my Banana”. The concept of the game was the guys will hold the banana and the girls will eat it. the first one to finish will be the winning pair, and to add a little twist, they are both blindfolded.
Someone said they used to have a game titled “Grab my Eggplant” it’s like a version of “Trip to Jerusalem”, FYI for those who do not know. In this game, chairs are placed in a circular formation facing outwards, and players will dance / walk around the chairs while the music plays. and when the music stops, they sit. and the players should always have an excess of one, like 5 chairs, 6 players, the one who ends up with no chair wil be out of the game and another chair will be removed for the next level. this goes on until there are 2 players, one chair left.. you get the idea…
But in the game they had, the men act as the chair. but instead of the girls grabbing a seat when the music stops, they will grab the eggplant hanging by the waist of the men! haaa! last pair standing will be the winner.
And the winner for Mr. Hearthrob is … (no drumrolls here) Gay, Miss Hearthrob is (hmm.. not among my list of colleagues) but she is pretty, in fairness. But i still voted for our pretty team leader, Fake. hehe.. nobody said you cant vote from the same sex!
And of course there is the traditional awarding of “Best Caller”, “Complete Attendance” and announcements of newly promoted staff etc.. and birthday celebrants had a share of their candle blowing too..
ok.. just noting this down so that someday i can look back on all these and laugh…
And yeah.. i am just suffering further from insomnia (during the day - which was suppose to be my ‘night time’) because i only had 2 complete calls this overtime! tsssk.. oh my.. what can i do? During weekends people are mostly not staying in one place all day! except for us..
as our Team Leader announced before the start of the shift..
“Isn’t it Great? We are all here on a Saturday night! Such Pathetic Social Lives…”
haaaaaaaaa…. yeah yeah

I'd like to go ... go ... see what I can find I'd like to get ... out of here ... just leave it all behind ... I'd like to visit all the pictures I have in my mind
It makes me feel alright when I see how they shine
Somehow I always get it wrong
I guess I knew all along
The tide that pulled me is too strong
