cut-off day blues

i'm supposed to be busy wrapping-up the purchase orders but i guess we're back to the good ol' days when cramming for P.O.'s have become the expertise of some people. *sigh*

will (edit) update later...

(edit @9:01pm)
...still in the office. i will now pack my things and call it a day at work! laters...

(edit @10:53ppm)
...now sitting back on our bed, wifey beside me and i'm just finishing this post before calling it a night! i'm simply glad it's Friday! weekend is teh love! anyway, we got busy by past 4PM (as usual) to catch up on all orders and process everything but we still have to wait for deviation approvals. that drags all our work to late hours of the day and we just need to bear with it every cut-off day. *sigh* we could have been compensated well if we were able to attend the supposed dinner treat by our GM at a fine steak resto nearby our office again, *sigh*. that comes once in a bluemoon! sorry for the miscommunication, GM was calling my mobile phone when i was already near our home place...

GM: Jon nasa'n na kayo?
Me: Po?
GM: Akala ko um-ok kayo sa dinner dito sa Outback?
Me: Ay sir, hindi ko po alam. Hindi ko masyadong naintindihan yung sinabi nyo kanina.
GM: Nasa'n ka na?
Me: Malapit na po sa amin?
GM: Nasaan si Jenny?
Me: Naku sir, naghiwalay na po kami sa Ortigas...
GM: Tsk, tsk... akala ko pa naman ok kayo mag-dinner.. di bale, o sige.
Me: Eh sir pwede bang next week na lang ulit? Hehe..
GM: *chuckles*
Me: Ay sir, pasensya na po. thank you po.
GM: Ok sige, di bale na..
*hangs up the phone*

there goes my free steak dinner. *boohoo* i immediately called my work partner and informed her of that missed opportunity but deep inside i was thinking why GM is giving us a treat. very unusual. perhaps his kind heart took pity on us having to work overtime up to minutes past nine... but still... sayang!

but i'm glad i'm home! wifey prepared me a nice dinner and another thing happened a few minutes earlier. i spoiled my own bday surprise to wifey! because of a work-related phone call, i have mentioned to the person on the other line that i'll be on leave on Monday, while wifey was with me in the room! *slaps forehead* oh well, c'est la vie at least, i don't have plans yet for the day. the only thing that's sure is i'll be with my wifey for the whole day on her birthday! yay!

tomorrow we're fully booked. too bad we can't go to Fully Booked the book store, i need to go to the dentist to have *my* tooth checked. then do a handful of church obligations and perhaps consume one promo coupon from a pastry shop and give wifey a treat. well, let's see what tomorrow gives. for the meantime, i'm calling it a day!
