expendable
a little background:
i've been working at MTV Networks Asia since April 06.
i was hired to do this one show: Mobbed.
its the biggest account MTV Networks Asia has (the client is Motorola by the way) so they thought it right to hire an extra hand for the job.
fastforward to the present:
Mobbed is 5 months in and the bigwigs at Motorola aren't happy.
the show sucks; its not what they had in mind; what the show is now was not in the brief that was written last year when they were planning the show etc.
the long and the short of it is that Mobbed is now canned and the last show goes on air October 1st 2006.
moment of silence, please. ah, Mobbed, we hardly knew you.
there WILL be a new show in its place however because the unhappy Motorola, unhappy as they were, signed another 2 year deal with MTV. go figure.
this new show is still a mystery, however, but its brief is scheduled to be presented within the coming 2 to 3 weeks.
and now we come to the point of the post:
what to do with bobby in the 2 to 3 weeks (maybe even MONTHS) between now and the confirmation of the new show and its format since he has completely NOTHING to do?
"eh, bobby, can get me some coffee?"
"bobby, the intern's last day is today. tomolo help me do his job, can?"
"yo, bobby, actually i can do this job by myself, but since you have nothing to do... help me, lah. i tomolo want to take leave go on hot date, leh."
sucks to be the new guy.
------------------------------
i was playing the xbox360 in the office and got told off.
"eh, bobby, She-boss told me to tell you not to play the games during office hours."
"but i got nothing to do, wat."
"yah, i know lah. but not nice, mah."
so i went to surf internet, but my desk HAS to be placed just outside the Boss' cubicle so that he passes by EVERYTIME he has to go anywhere; take drink from the cooler, talk to colleague 2 cubicles down, take a piss etc.
i can't even do nothing when i have nothing to do!
gaargh!
when Monday rolls around, call me "INTERN"!
