Superglued lock hole?

Today was supposed to be a freaking lazy day for work because:

People have started to take annual leaves to enjoy the long weekend (Tuesday was Deepavali holiday, while Thursday & Friday will be Hari Raya) and today is freaking Wed-nes-day, where sane people no longer go to work.

Well who told you I was sane? Well it turns out that this year is NOT last year where 'ben siao jie' (ME) took leaves to head down to KL with my bf for a nice shopping galore; this year I don't have any freaking plans for anything because!!!! I'm very much short of Vitamin M.

So what's the point of taking leaves???? My plan was to actually ENJOY the quietness in the office coz nobody will be turning in for work except for 'ben siao jie'. But people always never seems to fail in spoiling my plan for a quiet day of catching up with my work. I really had all good intentions of clearing off all my workloads in 1 full day.

Arrived at the office building at about 25 minutes to 9am to find 2 of the people from neighbouring office having a bit of discussion at the security office beside the lift, and was told by them that their office doors have been blocked, and even more shocked to learn that our office door had the same fate. I didn't really understood what the girl told me, as in how the doors can be blocked from our access, so 10 minutes later, we all went upstairs coz I wanted to have a look at it myself.

I was shocked when I realised that our keys cannot even be inserted into the key hole at all, and we found traces of whitish fluid, which was later certified to be super glue, running dry below the key hole. DAMN. The key hole has been sealed by damn idiots! A total of 4 offices were affected, and all 4 offices are located at the end most (innermost) portion of the corridor in that particular floor, with the location of the lift as a centrepoint. We really couldn't figure out how this could've happened. Our building's security is considered quite ok considering the fact that they do their rounds on every floor every single hour and still these things happened. The car park has cameras installed, so does every floor's lift area. All staircases are locked at all times, and are only open if there's an emergency.

I was a bit dumbfounded. The building's management office, located right at our floor, is closed (so are 95% of companies and factories) and the initial reaction I got was that they are not very helpful. We didn't know what to do and I couldn't contact my manager coz his phone was off.

My colleague is in Butterworth and so I didn't know what else I can do hence I headed home at 9:30am, after standing here and there for almost an hour. I was pissed coz I had many things to clear in the office and now many idiots are eating up my time.

10:30am came when my manager called to ask and I told him about the findings, where I've also highlighted the incident to the HR Manager in KL. Anyway 11am came when he sms-ed me asking my colleague to turn up at the office (her house is nearer and she's got transport and I don't). Anyhow I knew today was supposed to be my work day and I didn't have any intentions to skip work, so I called him to tell him that I'm ready to go back to work but I've got no transport, so later he came and drove me to the office, where we waited for the locksmith to come; and boy it took around half an hour to crack the freaking super-glued lock!

Finally 1:30pm came when the lock was finally opened, and we went inside and I did my work non-stop, and had to follow up my manager's work as well. I didn't even have time for lunch until I took a break at 3:00pm to have my mee in cup (Japanese stuff - RM 6.30! from Meijiya)

STILL!!! I couldn't finish all the things I've set out to complete for today. WHY? Coz freaking idiots denied me of 4 hours' time!!!! Gawd lately I really really start to hate thieves, vandalists, whatever, coz they never seem to get enough of annoying me. Around this time of last month, my house has been broken into, with most of my valuable stuff stolen from me, and now more idiots come and do idiotic things that will not serve them any benefit at all!!! Why do they ever do this??? I really wonder what the hell are their intentions anyway?

Everything is pissing me off now. I was really thinking to totally go all out and enjoy my 4 days' long weekend with no more backlogs at work, but now I fully realise that I've still got a bunch to do when Monday comes. ARGH!!!

F*** these people who've got nothing else better to do other than making our lives more miserable. -- make this my Quote for the year 2005.
