Work in progress

So it has been the new year already. By tomorrow many of us corporate slaves will begin pushing coals into the pit to fire up. Waking up would be really hard for some.


Though I am still on leave.


But when I return to work, I will not have my partner in crime there anymore. Many things will change. As the management will begin to split the hierarchy control. Here comes the new King, or well, Queen to be exact. Thus far, she has not shown much true colors yet. Let's just say everyone is waiting for how the new management will bring us.


The last few days of the partner in crime being there was fun. We get to play around with our supervisor. The one who when too busy ordering us to do his deed, forgot most of what need to be done.


One day the server was halted to be upgraded. All system had to be run offline. When the server is online, the data offline must be uploaded into the server. The computer that stores the data has security cards. If you do not go in supervisor mode, anything you do and save on the computer will not appear when you reboot the computer.


So the bad luck arrives. Before data was managed to be saved, there was a trip and the data was not saved and lost. We know the answer already, but not our supervisor.


We tried to tell him, but he was too stubborn and perhaps arrogant to listen.


He stood there for hours trying to figure out why the data was lost.


We hang around and waited for how long will he figure it out. Laughing and surfing away.


Hours later, he proudly walks by and told us he seems to know why and what went wrong.


We both answered, "Oh really. No wonder." We both acted like little boys who stole candy from the store and acting blur when questioned.


We had the best laughter after that.


The moral of the story is, sometimes, when people wants to tell you something, try to listen to it first. Or you will end a standing moron for hours.
