I have just climbed up the corporate ladder.... err... I mean elevator.

When people find out that your office is in a building that in the daytime looks like this:






















and at night like this:






















their faces go like this:

:O

and then they ask you which floor you're on, and you sheepishly say "5th", their faces go like this:

:|

So after your office relocates to the 16th floor, and your new desk looks like this:





















is it any wonder that you look like this?

:D

parikrama said...

Ahh but you don't get to see the sea ! Apun kaa offc se (22nd floor) we can see the Sg Flyer, Concourse Bldg, the DHL Baloon, and ofcourse the aforementioned sea with 100s of huge ships anchored neatly.. and yes, I did check just now.. I can see your office bldg aswell along with the Sultan Mosque !! boleh toh ekdum 360 degree view almost.

But anyways Congrats on the floor promotion. I bet you will have some interesting stories to write about the people you meet in the elavator while travelling to 15th floor. How about a post on that ?

parikrama said...

Taai,
Khud ko promotion aur humko demotion ? Acche khaase aadmi ko liftman banaa daala ? Kheir, I believe in dignity of labour so I will take my new job with all humility & grace. Atleast this job won't have the threat of looming deadlines & stuff like that :)

Sanyukta,
You couldn't have expressed it any better. Thanks.
