Men will be Men

It has been an extremely challenging day for me today. My to-do-list just keeps growing. And just because of one small mistake (well, it is small to me but big to my boss).. I had to endure a 20-minute lecture from my superior about separating emotions from work. He didn't even let me defend my actions. Damn you! But I did have a good laugh.. he said that maybe, I was under a spell which was the reason why I acted the way I did. He is just plain crazy.. no, not crazy, annoying and irritating. I am not sure how much longer I can stand working under him.

Now, let me talk about something that may 'uplift' my spirits. My significant other has been on the night shift since Tuesday night, and I haven't seen him since Tuesday morning. I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning, when he called me. And the conversation went something like this...

H: So, what are you listening to?

M: Actually, I am listening to Sheila Majid's Kerinduan (literally means I Miss You)

H: Hmm.. I miss you.

M: I miss you too. (feeling like bursting already)

....Silence...

H: Do you know that Mahmoud Abbas won the elections?

M: Huh????? What does that have to do with you missing me?

H: Nothing. Just thought I mention it to you.

M: Oh... Okay.

I admit I am a romantic person at heart. Although I do accept that men sometimes find it hard to express their feelings.... but that conversation this morning.... goodness... I should tell him that I'd prefer if he'd be more romantic.... :)
