Service....

I had 3 different experiences today...

As usual, I would leave home at 7 am in the morning and waited for the bus at the bus-stop in front of Temasek Polytechnic. A bus "15" came, and much to my surprise, I was greeted with a "Good Morining" by the Bus Captain. Not just a normal "Good Morning", but, a chirpy and sincere one. He greeted each and every passenger who boarded the bus. There were about 7 to 8 of us waiting then. So, imagine.... He said "Good Morning", eight times.

I was having a fever and had wanted to go visit a clinic at Raffles Place. I was at the registration counter. There were several patients standing around at the counter andI saw that the clinic assistant was handling 2 patients. I merely asked for the form so that I can fill my details in first so as not to waste time. She snubbed me off by saying, "wait ah... one by one, whoevercomes first". She got me on the wrong day. I was having fever and feeling weak and groggy. I said in the nicest tone, "I can see that you are busy. Perhaps you may just pass me the form 1st and I will fill it up myself 1st and pass it to you later. I am feeling weak now and I need to sit."

While waiting for my turn to see the doctor, I can't help but observe howthe clinic assistants work. One of them received a call, and said to the Caller, "My colleagues got call you so many times, how can you say we did not call you at all? You should see missed calls on your phone, what?" And, subsequently, she was bitching about that Caller right in front of all of us as the patients. Goodness! What type of attitude was that? Even if you are unhappy with the comments made by that Caller, you should perhaps go inside the office and bitch about it as much as you want. Not in front of the other patients.

Next, was the cab driver.... As I was already shivering, Hubby (who sent me to the clinic this morning), insisted that we take a cab. In the cab, I told the driver to turn up the aircon as I was feeling cold. Apparently, I think he thought I wanted it to be cooler, he turned down the aircon. Luckily it was still bearable.

Anyway, I reached home safely... After taking some food and my medicine, I wanted to take a nap. Unfortunately, there is a Chinese Funeral Procession at the next block.

I sms-ed my fellow Team Managers and Hubby... "Should have stayed in office. I can't sleep.... There is a chinese funeral procession."

Last night, I keep waking up as I was perpiring non-stop. Plus, because of the noise from the mahjong players at the next block.

I had 2 days MC. Hopefully, I could get well and go to work tomorrow.
