1. Get into office at 9 AM.
Still bright and cheery.
2. Realize there’s a mound of work waiting for me from the day before.
Ya that’s my workspace. This is what happens when I try to do too many things at once T_T I like to think my desk is usually neater than this wtf. Pictures of family, Angela and the Club on the left. Kite Runner returned from Jammie when I met her for lunch.
3. Get stoned by hectic workday and exhaustion (which in reality is nearly everyday – it is true when I say I have no social life left on weekdays)
4. But as they say (or rather, what people have been drilling into me my whole life), for every problem there is a solution.
Lipton Yellow Label Hirameki tea.
To be honest, before this I’ve never tried this tea before.
But office is always cold so I always want something hot to drink.
And everyone knows what coffee does to me. So I usually drink green tea that I bring from home.
But that day Mehlin pushed the yellow box to me and said chirpily “woi fourfeetnine have a cup”
This range of Lipton called Hirameki. Hirameki means “get inspired” in Japanese (which is something I did not know wtf)
And theanine means a kind of amino acid which is supposed to promote brain activity – but go look it up yourself I’m not too sure if it’s supposed to make u more awake or smarter or what wtf.
Anyway, when you have drunk your tea and upped your brain activity and everything, Lipton wants to reward you with prizes (laptops, Cybershots, phones etc.) if you join their contest at canyouplaythecorporategame.com and answer a simple question !
5. Make yourself a good sobering cup of tea.
6. Don’t forget the hot water!
7. Find there’s still lots of unfinished packets in the box.
8. Find overworked coworker (Jerry).
9. Fight temptation to hit him over head with Lipton box.
10. Scold other coworker (Lee Fen) holding camera for putting thumb in front of lens.
11. Present Jerry with useful gift.
(ok let me just say it wasn’t my idea to pose so cornily obviously it was the recipient’s idea ok look at his face also know already!)
12. Watch him down it.
13. And wake up!
(He really is awake, I think his irises are just really high up in his eyeballs wtf)
The Happy Ending of yet another workday.
