do NOT disturb

Perhaps... every company should give each of its employees a "Do Not Disturb" sign as part of their initiation/orientation package.

Everyone of us working souls need to use that magic sign once in a while, right?

U should have come by my workplace this week. It's like trying to cross a minefield on foot... S.C.A.R.Y... Our company's organizing a BIG event that'd be launched next week. Everyone's involved, from the top man in his leather armchair to the humble (but still super important) aunty cleaning the loos. & (almost) everyone is highly-strung. There is just so much nitty-gritty-but-still-important-enough-to-screw-up-whole-event issues to wrap up at this last minute that everyone is on a super adrenaline high. Say the wrong thing or hand in the wrong form, WHAM! BAM! big underground bomb goes off... I guess now is the best time to hang up that "Do Not Disturb" sign. Just let the busy do their work.

Rookies beware, unless you are donning a high-quality bomb-proof vest, do NOT go around at this time trying to make senseless small talk and/or demand trival stuff that isn't in one bit related to this event. Ignore at your own peril.

Meantime, I'm getting out of the way. Maybe I'd start doing up my own orbituary, lest I get bombed.

Do Not Disturb.
