Work, it’s been keeping me busy these days. Work and hmmm… work.
And so. Today was just like any other busy day at work - us all rushing about trying to meet all our appointments without compromising on service, the huge number of people coming in, children running about, and then some time mid-morning, who should walk in but JW’s bandmate. Hur hur. Some of the outside staff were trying hard not to look too gaga over him and I could see that they were treating him with much more attention and care than they do others. Laughs. It was quite amusing to watch. Well, I admit that I was quite taken too. I mean I’ve sat in for a couple of Reverie’s sets before and Jon’s voice is really sexy nice [Disclaimer: I'm not a starstruck Sg Idol fan, I'm just appreciative of good voices, some of you know that yah! Ha ha. =) ].
Minutes later, another person walked in and this time, starstruck is the appropriate word to use. He disappeared into the room before my brain could finish sending the signals to me that he is him, and four of his people trailed behind him, quiet and watchful. Ah well, it’s just too bad I cannot reveal his identity here, confidentiality and all that jazz.
It is interesting [and frustrating] how, in the course of work, we meet people who we never dreamt we would ever meet, and they would place themselves entirely in our hands, with much unconscious trust. Yet despite the amount of power we hold over them, we are, ourselves, controlled and restricted by our profession to do or say anything besides what we are supposed to do or say.
Been working over the usual time, but surprisingly, I do not dislike it [for now]. On the contrary, I now understand why Mr Nice Guy prefer to work after 6; the time after 6 is more personal, less noisy, less stressful, and it allows you to concentrate and think better. I kinda like it.
Can’t believe I just wrote an entire post about work. =_=
