McBlundered

You know how sometimes people say that "some people deserve their jobs"?? Well, today was a great example... =.="

Went to McDonald's Drive Thru to get some lunch on my way home for lunch today. I ordered specifically: McNuggets Value Meal with Sprite (no ice); Sweet & Sour Sauce; Tomato ketchup... It took a while for the lady taking the order to key in the specific changes I'd made... I suppose not many people ask for ketchup instead of chilli sauce from her surprised tone, but she made the changes and requested that I checked the order before proceeding to the payment counter.

After paying, I drove on to the collection counter where an unfriendly staff handed me my order and promptly shut the window, muttering under her breath... Erm... thank you and please come again???

First thing I'd noticed is that the Sprite had ice in it... Strike 1... But I thought, no point being a diva about it and just placed it into the car...

Then I noticed, no sweet & sour sauce for my chicken nuggets... Strike 2... I'd noticed that she dutifully added some sauce packets after referring to the order chart on the monitor, so I thought, it's okay... I'll have ketchup with the nuggets today...

Drove home and took out the food... There were 4 packets of sauce... First one - chilli sauce, second one - chilli sauce, third one - chilli sauce... I'm beginning to see a trend here... *sweat* And yes, you've guessed it, fourth packet - chilli sauce... STRIKE 3~!!!

So, I have learned that...

1. That girl needs to learn to read.


2. McDonalds is indeed a charitable organization...

So long, farewell...

This is how it started...

Rumour has it that somebody got caught enjoying some of this during working hours:

(I don't know why the person didn't know the meaning of the word "timing"; hello?!! watch during your break lar... not during working hours, right in front of your boss!!)

Which then speedily brought along a firewall that refused passage to the following (as well as others similar to them); bringing with it demotivation as venues to relief stress has been blocked... sighz.

Now, to top it off, "dear firewall" has also bade "so long and farewell" to:

*sienz*

Hence, I do apologize, dear reader(s) - if you are still out there reading - for even fewer posts now. Yes, I have tried to be more consistent, and I do have some more posts (Look out for Domestication Reprise, among others, which will be coming to you as soon as I can get it out)... But please bear with me, as work is coming down like a tsunami-sized tidal wave... Till the wave tides over, I'll be treading water, haha!!! Hoping my Lifesaver help keep me afloat... cheers!

The One About The Elevator

I was just thinking today...

A person gets into the elevator and presses the destination floor.

Elevator dings. Doors open. The person walks out while another walks in.

The person glances up and realizes that it was the wrong floor - got off the elevator too soon! Walks up one floor.

Come to think of it, the person was... me. >.<" (This happened some time ago already... suddenly came to mind... *sweat* Note to self: STAY FOCUSED!!)
