My Boss is a Cool Dude
Yeah that's right. My boss is an Australian guy who is very charismatic and all the gals in the office like to flirt with him. No joke. They all seem to be very hyper around him. Except me, of course, I have to keep my calm since I have to work for him!
But he's very nice, always finding out how I'm doing and helping me out when I face problems at work. At first (Jo and Syl knows about this) I was worried I will not be able to concentrate on my work and instead will be melting under his intense gaze.. Problem with coloured eyes.. Anyway, I'm past that phase thankfully and I find myself really enjoying working under him =)
He's very easy going, friendly and goofy.. He jumps around the office at times for no good reason..
Anyway, the main thing why I'm writing this today is that he let me off early at work today!!!
The conversation went like this: (knock, knock)Boss: "Hey, you do you know in Australia's culture people leave early on Fridays? Take the afternoon off.. Go home.."Me: (stare at him in disbelief) "You're not kidding me, are you? But this is Singapore's culture"Boss: "No! Of course not.. We should incorporate that culture in Singapore.."Me: "Really? I can go home? I can really go home now? Ok.. I'm packing up!" -_- I felt really guility about leaving early and it was 1 hour before 5.30pm (my usual knock off time) which I don't understand why since I brought the company's laptop home.. You can see from the conversation that I had to double check several times to ensure that it wasn't a joke. Really unbelievable.. Haha! I couldn't stop grinning as I leave the office. It's a wonder how much joy I experience just by getting an hour off from work..
