What’s in a tape? Adhesive. It’s sticky. It sticks things together.
I’m done having THE form signed. (hmmm… i kinda find it difficult to write down what THE form is) The HR already posted an internal hiring stuff.
I IM-ed Michelle. I told her I’m sad about it. I feel a lump in my throat and I badly needed a hug. I got ‘em. And I’m feeling a bit better now. But every time somebody brings it up… oh man… it’s just sad.
And it’s kinda stupid. I mean… ‘coz it’s my decision, right? Nobody asked me to go. It’s just…. *sigh* I’m gonna miss my students… and my broken family. I love them and I will miss them to bits. This company by far is the best one I’ve ever worked in. With all of its imperfections… I’m still glad that I became a part of this company. I really learned a lot.
And so the tape…
Flashback to March 11, 2008. Somebody’s last day. That somebody left me a tape a few days back. An adhesive tape. He said he won’t use it anymore and it’s pretty new. It’s a good brand. So I said goodbye to him through IM and I told him I’m gonna tape him to his chair so he can’t leave.
I marched up to his office. I pulled a tape from the dispenser and put it on his back… taping him to his chair. He said… “You’re crazy ‘di ba?” I left. Another Korean officer was in the office with him.
This afternoon I had THE form signed by our Assistant GM. The other Korean officer was there. And he said:
Officer: Libby, where is the tape?
Me: Huh? Oh! Hehehe… (I had the March 11 flashback and I almost melted there)
Officer: Jers, do you have a tape there? (he got one and was about to put it on my back so I had to slip out really fast because I was almost teary eyed.)
I still have the tape that ‘somebody’ gave me. It didn’t stick well to him. Though that officer wasn’t able to stick one on my back… well… y’all are stuck in my heart. (bawl!)
