AlwaySane Is In Da House

Mayhem! Madness! Monstrosity!

Actually, I wanted to write about a complaint case I recently handled but decided not to divulge too much because who knows who read this post. I'm getting quite wired just thinking about how this will travel so anyone who's willing to hear me speak about my most wonderful experience dealing with Mdm High-and-mighty-everyone-is-lowlier-head-up-there-somewhere please let me know and I'll gladly tell you the entire story A to ZZZ. Caution: the story telling will be long so it may take quite a few episodes. But just to say that this Mdm Extremely-professional-thinks-the-rest-of-the-world-must-bow-down-before-her-killer-bee really makes life colorful and really really spurs me on to be an excellent corp comm-er and really learn how to kick some ass. In short:

1. Mdm Thinks-the-rest-of-the-world-wear-leaves-and-jungle-calls have problem with the financial counselor (we have 3 and she is angry with all 3...hahaha), the social workers ("They ought to be fired!"), the doctors, ALL the nurses, the rehab staff, her own mother (scolds her for half an hour every visit) and her own family (the "whole uneducated brood"). Now the only friend she has here is me (really, she insists I PROMISED to be the messenger and that was total miscontrue of words and intention. I really really want to kill myself for being nice but that's a totally different story). But I really doubt this friendship will last because friendship is based on trust and love and in this situation there is no trust and please help me if there is love.

2. Oh, and Mdm I-know-everything-and-you-don't-so-you-have-to-listen-to-my-instructions is also a cheapskate. How do I know? Ahh....because I know how cell plans work! Write in for proper explanation about how I came to this conclusion.

(OK, Jer. Here's a chance for you to come up with more of your mennonite jokes. I really still don't get the one about the wedding and how they all sit at the same side so I beg you please please please explain before I start banging my head on the kitchen door. And I'm making some headway about the one with the light bulb. It had to do with either heat or sound and since you say I can't hear the light switched on, it must be heat. Hee Hee Hee.....I still have a headache.)

3. Mdm I-always-believe-in-going-the-extra-mile-for-your-customer-and-guess-who-has-to-do-all-the-walking successfully made 3 of our staff (a doctor and myself included) temporarily considered suicide as an option (throat-slitting, building-jumping, head-banging, self-induced-strangulation, stabbing-each-other-to-beyond-recognition) and brought anger to a higher level in some others. My boss is a gentle lady who doesn't raise her voice. She dropped the S--t bomb. I cowered in fear... Later I checked, the doctor actually died twice during the one-hour phone conversation with Mdm YOU-BETTER-LISTEN-CAREFULLY-TO-WHAT-I-SAY-YOU-LOWLY-INSECT. I told him he had the good deal. I died about 5 times. I spoke with her face-to-face.

Phew, my "in-short" is pretty long huh?! Oh man! I cannot control myself! Somebody save me!

OK, so, what else happened? After that we went shopping! Yeah, my boss (the one who dropped the S-i- word) and myself went to buy gifts for our annual dinner. It was a great experience spending money that does not belong to you! A total of $1550! They don't call it "retail therapy" for nothing. I think it is scientifically proven to work. I was so inspired I bought a FILA bag for myself. It's pretty decent. I'm a happy girl!

Then I had an appointment with some person who can give me a free facial consultation. Being a female and a bargain-hunter in nature, I obliged with glee. Good news and praise God! I have good skin, just on the sensitive side, but good!! Yippee Yay Yay! I'm amazed at how some of these beauty consultants can push products to you even after saying you have good skin and all. So, she actually wanted me to add 4 more products to the "beauty regime" so that my skin can be more "radiant and glowy". The 4 more products came up to $280. I left buying a facial toner which is running low at my house and that costs $28. I don't think the beauty consultant was very happy.

After that, I had a Going-to-Bangkok-Discussion dinner with my cousin (we had an amazing time in Bangkok last year. Too bad I wasn't into this blogging business then if not I would have posted it. I'm sure I can add a dose of inspiration to your life, those who needs therapy in some forms but do not know if retail is the right one for you. We realized the antidote to our restlessness is retail therapy so we make it a point to receive that therapy in paradise-of-Asia-bangkok twice every year. The first trip this year should be in april). This girl works in a chiropractic firm (to do with bones and alignment of the body....I dunno the exact explanation of that) so she volunteered the doctor to do a diagnosis for me! It turns out I have a slanted posture! His diagnosis goes deeper but it's too painful to tell. So I ask if there's hope? So he says that's what they are here for! Ahh...I can see commercialism at play. So what's next, frequent visits discounts?

I was tired. Went dancing for a while to vent and they were one of the best dances I had! I looovvveeeeee salsa! The partner that I danced with twice before was there and he really really improved so much. And also, my new classmate danced a few rounds with me. I was beat, and happy, and felt really really good. It helps that it was ladies' night. So I paid nothing.

I reached home at 1:30am. Slept at 2am. Had to wake up at 7am to work. Now typing this at my last half hour at work. Out.

QUIZ TIME!

that that is is that that is not is not is that it it is

If you put punctuations (period, commas etc) in appropriate places, the above is a grammatically correct, proper phrase. Try it!

CLUE:
that that is is that that is not is not. Is that it? It is.
**The first part that is bold can form 2 sentences. There are a total of 2 commas and 2 periods for the part that is bold (including the period I put in before Is that it?). Have fun!
