[it's just one of those days]

another manic monday.. just when things were beginning to look up, just when i seemed to be on the verge of finishing my SARS SOP, the audit team swoops down and has a ton of ideas that can only come from up above. im talking about ideas which sound really nice in principle but arent likely to do much good on the ground, ideas which seem inspired but will probably wind up alienating people. but what can i do? im just a poor cog in the bigger scheme of things. i facilitate. my job is to turn their whims and fancies into solid concrete Instructions and Procedures. they push, and i turn. sometimes things can just be so depressing - all the initial idealism about being able to make a difference waxes and wanes so quickly before the might of authority and seniority. i dont think im jaded yet, heck no - neither am i disillusioned, ive always expected things to be like this, in here or otherwise [in the working world out there]. its just a feeling of helplessness, and its a terrible terrible uphill struggle. im just slogging for naught..

and if having your work increase exponentially (not to mention having to redo some stuff you just finished) in the first 30 mins of the week wasnt quite enough i had the misfortune of having one of the laptops i signed out for landing in the hands of one the more senior staff around because it was apparently 'lost'. its a very long story but suffice to say that i was in genuine danger and a sweaty and terse investigation later, i found it was all thanks to the nonchalance and downright irresponsibility ("i never saw it!") of somebody that the whole issue came about.

i could go on and on about the rest of the things that almost ruined my day but theres really no point since 1) my day wasnt totally ruined, im just a little... terse and 2) theyre too minute to interest anybody. heck, im even finding them terribly minute as i blog now..

interesting link. dance dance story.. it sorta loosely ties in with today's piece of mood music.

One Inch Punch - Pretty Piece of Flesh
from William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet OST

I
I will split you in two
Shake shake shake boom
I strike, quickly being bold

You're all, you're all dogs
You're just dogs of the house
You're weak, weak, weak, weak slaves
The weak slave goes to the wall, oooh

'Cause I am
I am that pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh, I am

Go, go, foes can never measure to the crew as we roll on
Blast the amplifiers in the back with their soul on
A pretty piece of flesh and yes, you better show your crest
Shoulder holster strapped, I'm pulling from the chest

Guess who's gonna be the first to pull it from you?
But if the steel seal representing Montague
Lovelorn torn from two sides, singin' at dark skies
To the heavens, I'll be seeing worlds collide

Chi chi bow stars and bottle rocket fantasies
But on the streets. some knights and killers. they be after me
Trippin' with Ethel under moonlight skies
But then, you wake up in the danger zone in souped up rides

I'm dodgin' bullets and bang, it's hard to hang
Doing a hundred miles an hour like a video game
Rollin' brick thick and diesel thinking nothin' can faze me
With nickel plated sword slingin', livin' is crazy

Stars collide, worlds divide with a pretty piece of flesh
Your little pretty piece of flesh
Stars collide, worlds divide with a pretty piece of flesh
Your little pretty piece of flesh

I am that pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh

I will split you in two
Shake shake shake boom
I strike, quickly being bold
You're all, you're all dogs

Stars collide, worlds divide with a pretty piece of flesh
(you're just dogs of the house)
Pretty piece of flesh (you're weak, weak, weak, weak slaves)
Stars collide, worlds divide with a pretty piece of flesh
(the weak slave goes to the wall, oooh)
Pretty piece of flesh

'Cause I am, I am, I'm that pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh
I am a pretty piece of flesh, I am

Stars collide, worlds divide with a pretty piece of flesh
Your little pretty piece of flesh
Stars collide, worlds divide with a pretty piece of flesh
Your little pretty piece of flesh

quite intrigued by bloggerNEW.. esp the blog-via-email feature. but i thot that was already in place, albeit for blogger pro users? if it comes out for blogger [free] then ill stop thinking about porting it someday. someday.. given the amt of work that just keeps coming and coming.
