FIRST DAY BACK AT WORK

8.20am - i reach office. i am amazingly early. i have not been early for 2 years. i'm supposed to start work at 9!
8.21am - i am seated opposite my mom. she's pretending not to know me. she wants to seem young.
8.22am - i am rotting. my sup comes in at 9. i decide to take a nap.

9.40am - i am still waiting.
9.45am - i have work to do! i'm back in the fish tank. but the fish tank is not a happy place without the usuals. but it's ok. all's fine.........but being a temp staff, i do not have the access pass so i keept getting shut out. by 11am, i have knocked on enough doors to qualify as a trainee postman
11.10am - another girl, also a temp staff but with a pass has been kind enough to keep opening doors for me, but her smiles are growing increasingly strained.

1.30pm - we are at ntuc. i am balancing bottles. cooking oil, potato chips "(mom)buy 1 get 1 free!" and goodness knows what else. as mom walks along the aisles, she samples food happily. i recognise another sign of auntie behaviour.
1.40pm - we ae buying egg tarts. mom is deciding which promotion is more worth it. the capitaland or buy 3 get 1 free -_____-"
1.42pm - i decide that i've heard enough. it's just 3 egg tarts!!!!!! i tell her anything will do n we better hie back to office.
