Highlights of My First Month in the Office

I can't believe I've been working in the office for a whole month now! I have been so busy, time passed by so quickly.

I can almost honestly say that I am part of two departments in direct competition with each other. I'm getting ahead of my story once again.

Our VP is in the US so her appointed OIC gathered us in a meeting. The OIC just wants to be updated on the status of our projects. She gathered the 2 departments in a room. Finally, the "competition/cold war" was addressed with all people involved in single room. The meeting was "revealing" to say the least.

One of the highlights

I borrowed my officemate's laptop to take home. He lent it to me without question. When I was about to take it out, it was inspected by the security guards. I thought it was standard procedure.

At the other side of the door was the manager of the Security Group. He is known in the office as GENERAL. He was a very big man with a booming voice. I was not really intimidated by him coz I thought it was standard procedure. He said that he was not informed of anybody taking home any laptops. He didn't allow me to take it home.

I told the owner of the laptop the following day. He laughed at my face before I told him the story. He said he was informed by another officemate about the incident because my story was verified by the security group.

I faced the general then. He told me that a laptop was reported missing that day. Oh well! All's well that ends well!

This entry really sucks! I just want to document these stories coz they bring fond memories.
