Someone remarked that I hardly blog about work anymore. Well, there is hardly anything funny to blog about at work because I have been busier than before. And I don't really want to blog about things that piss me off at work because this "blogging" thingy has since made a name for itself in Singapore. The word Blogger even has a Chinese equivalent to it. The first time I heard it on the news, I thought they were talking about some terrorists. Everyone blogs. Everyone knows about blogging. So I don't want to step on some big fat tails just because they think I say something inappropriate about work.

But today, after reading the Mr Miyagi's post, I too have something similar to share.

My team recently joined a new department and we went for our first department meeting. One of the guys appeared to be very enthusiastic throughout the meeting. He almost leapt up to his feet when it was time for him to give a presentation. I thought it was just his enthusiasm that made him punctuate his sentences with itself, like, "the presentation itself will tell you how the whole process itself works so the users can go back and try out the product itself."

Subsequent department meetings revealed the same thing. Once I counted more than 10 itself when he gave his update.

I never notice this behaviour when we speak to each other normally. I think he only does that when he switches on his "presentation mode" itself.
