The stupids entertain me

Man... this is too good not to share.

Look, my company insures vehicles. For private cars, policyholders are now allowed to add 2 people to the policy (Named Drivers) so they're covered too, on the same terms and conditions.

One would assume that people you add to your policy would be people you know well, yes? Cars are expensive pieces of machinery, yes? You pay for your COE, on top of your car, yes? You don't trust your car to any tom, dick or harry, yes?

No.

Will wonders never cease?

Again, no.

The levels of stupidty reach ever increasing depths now.... nothing surprises me anymore. All I can do is share it with you guys and laugh....

Guy calls, he's asking for his named driver's data. Lookit, when you request to add the person to your policy, all the form asks for is driving license data and date of birth. No address or contact number is required. You're the policyholder, it's YOUR responsibility.

Heh. Turns out this guy's named driver ran off with the car. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAA. Guy tells me in a severe tone of voice "do you understand the gravity of the situation?" The irony just kills me!

Yes! I do understand! But you apparently don't!

It's the small things...

This post made me smile.

And I can totally relate to it :D

From far far away

Just found a wonderful kitty blog called Cat with a Garden.

'tis all about 2 german kitties, their gardening efforts, and their exploits!

Oh, and complete with cutiepie personalities too.... meow meow :D

Great time wasters

If you're in a fix as to what/where to browse, you need to look at the CheezBurger Directory :)

Apart from the LOLCats, they've grown huge with some pretty funny sites.... Basically, you get pictures of idiots, morons and basically those of poor taste, throw in some nasty captions, and you have hilarity at their expense. Wahey!


Funny!

I am disgruntled, yes I am.

** RANT ALERT **


Management had us change to a different email system for accountability purposes.

Apparently, when we replied to customers' emails, once it was downloaded to the desktop, no one else could access it. Ok, I concur, it's important to track correspondance, especially when disputes arise. Since we're a 24/7 call centre, this is important.

So we're on the new system. It's slower, bulkier, less nimble; our productivity has dropped from around 50 emails a night, to about 25. Halved. We KNOW we'll be getting shit for performance appraisals in 2010 because we're doing "less" work, but that's the way things roll around here. So ok. We're prepared for this.

But get this... just last night, me and my colleague were asked to trace two emails.

Back to square one. Argh!

Hello? What happened to the accountability? Wasn't the supervisor given access to the master inbox for tracking emails?

In the last 2 months, I have emailed 2 sets of constructive, OFFICIAL feedback on all the shitty and illogical protocols that's been implemented. Last night made the 3rd. Compared to the last 2 years of silence (grumbling at 4am to a fellow grumblee doesn't count. lol) I'm being pretty "loud" right about now.

But I don't really care.

I may not like my colleague, but I can work with anyone IF their work is good. I don't need to like my superiors, but I will respectfully do my work to my best ability IF the boss is also efficient. If you give me a crappy adminstrator pseudo manager idiot who makes us report on the *same thing* three different ways and still gets her facts wrong, I am going to shit up your ass and make you eat it.


No, I am not happy at work currently.

Holding on to the past

I don't know why.... sometimes I wake up and get really introspective....

Today, on my way to work I wondered what happened to the Fiona from 10 years ago. She was louder, fatter, sexier. Somewhere along the way, I've become more quiet, more subduded. I'm also skinnier, but that was unintentional weight loss, which is never a good thing.
*small sigh*

I wonder if I'm becoming more me now? That the Fiona from before was just responding to societal pressure to be ambitious, to be more modern, to be more adult? Or is it something that coems with every 20something's first decade of adulthood? This self awareness? I am hard pressed to tell... I know some 20somethings who became 30somethings and never changed. I am no longer in contact with these people.

The sentimental side of me wonders if I should have been more proactive as a teen, as a child, to scrapbook or keep mementoes. I think back on my childhood and realise I don't have many memories. I have a few vivid ones of momentous occasions, but in general just vague, happy memories. Should I start scrapbooking now? lol

Blogging started out as just an idle hobby. But on a few occasions past, I've gone back to see what I've written. Initially, it was just curiousity. But there's been a gradual change, I can see it. Perhaps this is my adult version of scrapbooking?


Ah well.

Should you REALLY be driving?

wahey! my company's famous!

And you're an idiot!

Woman calls in, she's had a motor accident. No one's hurt but she wants to check her vehicle insurance coverage and how to do the accident reporting. But get this, she's not insured with us. Plus, she doesn't know who she's insured under.

I can never get my head around this..... You spend thousands of dollars on purchasing a car. Thousands more on upkeep. And you don't know who your insurance company is?

Really, passing your license should require an intelligence test.


GGggrrrrrrr!!

Boobies!

I may be a woman, but I apprciate the sentiment on this one.




It's true! Tell me who doesn't look :D

Great end

Just came home from work to this.



hahahhahahaaaa. LOVE IT!

Where there's a way....

At work, the only thing I can surf is Facebook (because our CEO is on it) and blogger (so that IT can spy on me. heh)

But I will not be thwarted!
There are still plenty of kitties to coo over! Like these twins....

If these were mine, I'd probably call them something like halfNhalf and Fullsized because of their kitler moustaches. Or SOMEthing along those lines.... :)


Too too cute!

Light travel!

Wow - this was mind boggling :o



The small size playing doesn't do the film justice.... so please, click to embiggen :)'

Woo! What's next?

Realised I'm at work in a $5 tshift.

And a $150 bra.

Have I got my priorities right or what? :D

Hello? Anyone need a personal assistant?

I can do coffee. And a lot of other things :o

Ok... seriously... I've been a lot of things but never a PA or a secretary. Although.. come to think about it... with the right boss, I'd probably be good at it. Then again, a good PA can work with any boss, yes? So perhaps that's not such a good idea. lol.

Ok, ok... anyone have any lobang anywhere?

UPDATE : Dammit, just 3 hours after this post, my TL shared that she'd just sent in her resignation letter. Now my team and I have no one to buffer us from our head of section.... whom, by the way, we call The Thing. We're screwed.

Is this a common denominator?

I managed to score some poppycock popcorn! NOM!

But get this, I opened the tin and let my colleague try some. Yup, she'd never seen the brand before. And the response? A lackadaisical Eh, not bad, leh. Hello? Not bad? It's supper yummy, is what it is!!!

I wonder it it's a Singporean thing.... my Mom does this too, and it drives me nuts. How's the dessert? Um, it's ok, I guess. And then 5 minutes later she's taking a second helping.

c'mon! Give credit where's its due! GGggrrrrrrr!

My, that's apt.

oh hey!
A sign that kinda describes my ex CEO, whose motto was do, plan, learn. Or some crap like that.



Yes, we actually launched a couple of things with that mindset firmly in hand.

What joy, eh?

Damn, the wrong ones are super fertile...

heh, this is so apt.....

The stupid gene is seen in yet another idiot. Super sperm my ass; you're super dense!
