I was hanging out on a bench waiting for someone today, when I saw one of our departmental senior manager came walking towards me. He was wearing this ear to ear smile and looked extremely pleased like that. I initially thought he was probably establishing some friendly contact with another person, but it soon became apparent that he was smiling to me.
I felt strange, you know, as our relationship was never more than acknowledging each others’ presence through exchanges of courtesy nods & smiles. But today, it was all different. I took a deep breath as he walked closer … then stopped briefly in front of me … gave me a few pats on my shoulder… uttered something inaudible to my ears (or was it that I’m too dumbfucked to hear anything? I don’t know) … and bailed off. Just like that.
I was stunned. And then I turn towards my friends and went “What the fuck was that???”. Nobody knew. I tried to cogitate hard about that disturbing act, but I still couldn’t make any sense out of it.
No I did not get promoted, nor did I do anything victorious for the department these few days (in fact, I’ve been shirking quite a lot recently, it has been a while since I’ve made anyone proud).
Then somebody suggested that it must be the bitching article which I’ve written for the survey. Sounds kinda plausible at the very first thought, but soon was dismissed as we realized that the survey result was still not released yet.
So… what could be the reason behind that simple act of benevolence??? Could it be somebody from the higher management discovered my blog and published my URL to the directors? And that manager was actually giving me a ‘goodbye’ pat instead of a well-done pat???
I don’t fucking know man… I don’t fucking know.
Just in case, if any of you management guys are really reading this - here’s a message for you:
NAAA!
wa… tak takut kena sack ah?
right…
asshole as a asshole be.
don’t even know what the pat means, oledi give ppl the middle finger.
asshole
shein - Sack of nuts? What’s there to be scared of? They’re fun… google up the term “tea bag”.
bottle - asshole indeed. You don’t even know what I’m talking about, and you’re already calling me an asshole. Oh and stuck a bottle up yours before you look at that middle finger picture again.
weird background music - theme from x files followed by Outer Linits….
wohooooo
ada gaya, mutu , keunggulan
perhaps he is one of your secret admirer
That’s a pretty weird gesture. Hopefully nothing bad will arise though.
Mikey, give us really meaning behind the pat when you found out ok? Bless you~
michael..sabar bah..dont be so angry mah..there’s nothing u need to scare off..this is yr blog..u can say anything u want..right kan? dont care what or how people look at u ..just be yrself and everything will be alright..:)..chai bohhh..hehehe
A few pats means “ur sai tak”. He is supposed to kam siah you because of your last research that has been drawn to his climax to that particular object - his original target maybe.
He kinda wants you to research deeper leh. But very phai seh to tell.
“me” - eh…change your nick lar, how phor… when I address you as “me”, it’s like talking back to myself. Kanineh!
zbjernak - Secret admirer? Secret admirers don’t fucking come up to PAT YOU ON YOUR SHOULDER lah! Secret admirer would load up your pic on her computer screen and lick it when no one’s looking…
wan / fishfish - I’m suspecting he’s patting me because he caught me ogling at a chick while I was on that bench… that’s the most plausible explanation…
eleine - Oohhh…*wipe tears* thanks. I’m sure that helps a lot…
put3put4 - Man, he could have given me some money to fund my research instead…
ala..dew la..dont care la…your blog, your world dude..if they really fire ur ass for the message..means they confirmed themselves being assholes.
but anyways..mike..just to let u knw..i actually submitted your template..and signed off as “the unhappy staff whom can’t afford to be fired” hehe and i gave my two cents worth on MY other submission too, and it included encourage/praise/suggestions for the company…i’m looking forward to the reply…keep my fingers crossed that no one from my office (that hates my guts)is one of your loyal readers dude…
gregenz - Keep us posted on the response dude!
what if you got fired? don’t care?
Maybe he’s a secret admirer of your blog but can’t afford to say so in case the other managers eat him alive for sympathizing with a *ahem*coolie*ahem* employee.
How’s the pat.. a sensual-long-sweep from ya shoulders to ya mid back?
Maybe he is asking….. are u free tonight?
***Industrial strength freak out***
Maybe he smiled at you so that you will write a post about him leh? [...which you did..] So now he is sitting back, smiling at the post and enjoying the fame! Haha! You think so easy to get sacked meh? Lei chau seong!
“alex” - If I got fired, I’m gonna have to look for a new job…*shrugs* (I thought that’s what everybody does?)
mega - Sympathize? What have I got to sympathize for worr… I have all my working limbs… and I’m very sexually abled. If he’s sympathizing me on my low scale salary … well, a pat wouldn’t help much, would it? Goddamn increase my pay already!
souplad - If he does that, no shit i’m gonna fucking scream & file a sexual harassment report to the code of ethics office
primrose - Hmmm..if that’s the case, then…girls, next time you see me, remember to feel all over me with your hands if you want me to blog about you.
Ah~ Mike, maybe he just got laid in the toilet and haven’t washed his hand yet, so he figured he’d clean it with your shirt。 Who knows
that’s sick… m@ri … you done that on someone before?? ughh
