Office

Today is (my) HARI MALAS SEDUNIA. My boss has gone to the other hotel where he is also in-charge of and the server is in migration process. So, I *ehem* excused *ehem* myself from doing some work.

As I am sitting at my so-called work station, belek-belek my camera, I realized that I never have my photo taken in the office. I've been working here for 6 years and no me-in-the-office photo? Why? Only few of us in the office. My boss, his driver (not in, most of the time), my clerk and myself. Not so happening kan? That's why no reason to snapped photos la.

But today, I snapped some photos.

Front view - from where I'm seating.

My Pc is IN my table. Patut ke? Tell me about it. Covered with tinted glass. I always have to look down. Sakit leher siut. Right in front of me is a boardroom table of 10 seats. My boss LOVE to have samll meeting. Most of his meetings and discussions are held in front of me. So, I get to hear everything. "To avoid misunderstanding between us" - as he put it. Whatever! So I attend some small meetings by sitting at my own desk and have my things near me. In the meeting, I can still (curik-curik) do things that have got nothing to do with the on-going meeting like; pick-up or make phone calls, complete some document, surf the net, etc.

Noticed the wooden door next to the world map? That is my boss' office - gambar pintu je. Kat depan aku but not really directly in front of me. He needs to walk from his desk to his door, and then walk from that door to my table. So I can buy some time there (in case I need to take cover or something, get me?)

My 45-degree-left View

On my table: My In / Out / KIV tray. My diary and quick-reference clear folder, my frequent use files and P&C documents.

Against the wall: built-in cabinet for frequent use files and my boss's collections of I-don't-know-what. As you can see, quite colorful files hah? We practice 5S in this hotel. Filing system and color coding are important issues here. If you are not sure what 5S is all about, go Google. I am malas to explain further.

My 45-degree-right View

Quite clear la. On my table: my telephone, giant calculator, desk calendar, tracing file and my boss' coffee flask (I don't know why he never keep it in his office. Every time he needs coffee re-fill, he has to walk to my table and walk back to his office - exercise ke...? checking on me?).

I think you can see the office entrance door too. It is double-leaf-decorated-wooden door with clear glass in the middle of each leaf. Part of the glasses are fixed with frosted film at eye-level. It was my boss idea of good fung sui (people from outside could not see me directly). So, sesapa nak masuk tu, akan tertunduk-tunduk dulu, checking my presence. Kesian.

My 90-degree-right View

Beside me is my stationary table, where I dumped everything else. The 'thing' that blocking my view is my photocopier cum printer.

On the other side is my clerk's table. Always neat, colorful and personalized. Bagus la. Tak sakit mata aku (look, who's talking!)

My Desk

Finally, this is how my desk looks like. At the back is my filing cum store room cum pantry. I do not have personal effects around my working area. No family photos, no teddy bear, no personal posters. Just some bekas biskut raya and small coffee flask. Why? Tak biasa. Tak sure why. Errr.. suka hati aku la. Aku nye table kan? He.. he...

Aik? Still NO me-in-my-office photo? Emmmm.... lain kali la.
