Taxonomy of Office Creatures

25 04 2007
This week, New York magazine has a big section on Office Life: A Survival Manual. And it’s depressing. Not only are there photographs of what the offices of Martha Stewart (clean), Paul Rudnick (kinda gothic-bohemian) and Mayor Bloomberg (bullpen, baby) look like, but there are stories that explain why your office works the way it does. Like, apparently, the boss has to be a jerk. And there are some solutions to office problems—who knew throwing a tantrum might be helpful (just don’t break stuff)? Also, there’s a guide to the kinds of creatures in your office, for instance, the person who will never be fired then.

Taxonomy of Office Creatures

Protect yourself—it’s a jungle out there.


The Night Stalker
Behavioral trait: Considers self an ace at office banter; in reality, spreads awkward pauses and inappropriate comments the way Johnny Appleseed spread apples. Like a wolf, his sudden approach toward your cubicle chills the blood.

How to eradicate the menace: Starve him with lengthy anecdotes about people he doesn’t know. Change the names of your characters mid-story just to be an ass.


The Endangered Species
Behavioral trait: Petulance that must be tolerated because the perpetrator possesses a unique skill. Akin to owls around which entire forests must be maintained.

How to eradicate the menace: Put your trust in the market. A replacement will come along soon enough, offering what economists call “the marginal value of not being an utter tool.”


The Beast
Behavioral trait: Constantly getting his way by hanging the threat of a prima donna tirade over everyone else’s head, like a crocodile who gets the entire water hole by eating all the monkeys and antelope trying to get a drink.

How to eradicate the menace: Defeating an office monster head-to-head is possible, but might require you to act despicably yourself—after all, the person who kills crocodiles is a poacher.


The Whimperer
Behavioral trait: Acting continually put-upon but never explaining why, like a neighbor’s dog that incessantly expresses its displeasure at your mere presence.

How to eradicate the menace: Can eventually be turned into an ally with the right combination of patience, kindness, and food-related bribery.


The Nuisance
Behavioral trait: Constant, public naysaying of statements and positions you hadn’t even realized anyone could find objectionable. Reminiscent of the mouse that continues to show up despite your most conscientious efforts to maintain an environment free from mouse nutrients.

How to eradicate the menace: Poison.






That special kiss

25 04 2007


Let me kiss that special kiss
the one that’s more than touch
that gentle pressing of the lips
persuading blood to rush

The kiss that makes you tremble
and makes your legs go weak
a moist embrace of tenderness
that takes you to your peak

With a heady scent of passion
It makes your body sway
the kiss that penetrates your soul
and takes your breath away

It lingers for a lifetime
you never will forget
the bursting of your senses
when our emotions met.

Describing True Feelings

18 04 2007
Undying? Fading?

People, who have been hurt in a relationship, often wonder how someone they love could treat them so poorly.

I think that most callous behavior is driven by one of two explanations.

To begin with, some people are just naturally more selfish and self-centered. Some people have little empathy or respect for another person’s feelings… it’s all about what they want. Such individuals are often very manipulative and underhanded when it comes to love and romance.

Some believe that romance should just come naturally, and if it doesn’t, or if the original closeness that existed in a relationship starts to subside, it means that something is wrong. Nothing is further from the truth. Keeping love alive requires time, attention and the willingness to keep things fresh and learn how to constantly reconnect.

My love has been fading ever so slightly lately. As he mentioned lah.
Do you think our love is gone???This cant be true..because, i had fell in love wif you like hell for past 7 months.
Dear…Mr. Nenja, FYI a security of our love never fading. Never and never. I know you’ll find it hard to believe me if I tell you now how much you mean to me. Dear…Mr. Nenja, thank you for coming into my life. You are something I never thought could exist for me. You are one of the best things that has happened in my life, and I don’t regret being with you.

There is so much I want to tell you, a lot has been running through my head lately.
I keep thinking about the future, about life, and what I want out of it. I keep thinking about us and what this relationship means to me. I keep thinking about these things and I realize they go hand in hand. This relationship is my future; it’s what I want out of life. I want to grow old with you. I want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think I’m going to get to.

I want to have a child with you and go through the experiences of parenthood with you. I want to see you and me chasing our little kid around the house, all three of us laughing our heads off and having fun. I want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want you to fall asleep on my chest listening to the beat of my heart and know it beats for you I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep. I want to see your bad morning hair; I think it will be so cute. I want to sit on the beach with you and watch the sun set, and I want all the people who pass us to envy the love that we obviously have for each other.

At first I was confused, didn’t really know what I wanted, I didn’t know if I would want to take a chance again and actually take you seriously. So, I decided to come close to you as a friend and find out who you truly were and what you were like. You seemed cool, nice and funny some things I really liked in a guy. So I took a chance and got with you.

In the beginning, things didn’t seem that well, I actually had my doubts about you. I wasn’t sure you were actually taking me seriously. But, it was too late to look back; I had already fallen for you since the day I met you and I wasn’t really looking forward to giving up too soon. I tried so hard to have you, I wasn’t going to let you go so easily!

Well, time has passed and I have discovered new things and a new me. You have truly changed me. Still, in a way, I’m scared ’cause I am actually growing a true feeling inside my heart which I just cant explain, but I know it’s there waiting for you to come and uncover it. I truly don’t know what your feelings are but I don’t want to force you in telling me what you don’t feel towards me. I would want to receive love and trust from you when you truly mean it. All I ask from you is to show me you care and not hide anything, to also have trust in me the way I do in you.

I just want you to know that I had never found someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with until I met you.
