I woke up at Genting today. Or so I thought until I shook off my stupor from sleep. With the PSI standing at 73 last Monday and 80 today, it's no wonder for that thought.
The only thing that woke me up to reality was the smell and it's definitely not because I farted.
Well, the haze is not a bad thing actually. It at least gave me one legitimate reason not to exercise, something I've not done since the first dinosaur egg cracked.
Running before my morning shift? Nay, too early, haze makes air quality bad and the plants are still producing carbon dioxide. Running after work? Nay, too late, too tired and haze makes the air quality bad. Swimming? Swimming pool’s too far and I'm swimming in the haze now anyway. Badminton? Okay, haze doesn't really affect but I've got no kakis.
So no exercise, unless standing on my feet for 8 hours per day counts.
On another note, I wonder if the cancellation my reservist later this month was due to the haze. Well, I doubt it since my unit isn't really that nice and the haze will probably be gone by then.
Nevertheless, to inform me of a November reservist in April, have it cancelled in May and reassign me for another reservist in late October and then cancel it late last week says a lot of the planning of my unit.
It's precisely because they've informed me 5 months ago and no wind of any cancellation within this period, the 2 weeks reservist was plotted into my attachment schedule to other departments. Now that it's called off after I started my attachment, I thought my attachment schedule will be pushed up.
However, lo and behold, my manager decided that he doesn't want to send another email to the department heads to reschedule my attachment and will have me pulled back to the department instead.
I can't really fathom the logic behind this decision. I'm only on attachment. I'm not on a headcount when at the other departments. On top of that, the other departments haven't even plotted me into their roster. There won't be any hassle for them.
So why? Of course, I was only informed of the decision and not called in for discussion. Maybe there're certain plans for me. I have no inkling of what they will be, but it do mean one thing – work.
