Sotong
Today, I folded and cut A3 size papers into half the whole day at work. I could really fall asleep. The stack was huge and the job made me feel like a machine. Folding, cutting, folding and cutting. Even thought it is simple, I discovered the power of the penknive and the stapler.
The sharpness of the blade slices through the paper without much effort, just like using the penknive to cut air. No wonder it can be such a dangerous weapon when it falls into the wrong hands. The huge black stapler flattens the folds to make cutting easier. Of course, I removed the staples to prevent history from repeating itself.
That incident is still vivid in my mind. It happened so fast, but it took awhile for me to register that the staple had been embeddened into my thumb. At least it wasn't as bad as when I stuffed my fingered into a turning fan. Stupit of me, but I was wondering whether that plastic thing could harm me. I got the answer, at a heavy price. The fan blade literatly ripped the skin on my fingers, leaving blood all over them. Cried my eyes out. That incident earned me plasters for all of my bloody fingers. Ah well, these happened about a decade ago..heh. Bleh, the saying "Curosity killed the cat" is very true..
Serlina, my colleague at work, was called a sotong today. Chris, senior engineer, gave her drawings to print. She thought it was in A4 size form and enlarged it. Being used to leaving the photocoping machine once she pressed "print", she realized that Chris gave her the drawings in A3 size, and there was no need to enlarge, one step too late. A3 sized papers, as thick as 1 full set of The Straits Times, were printed on. She screamed, and the rest started laughing, saying she's a sotong, and she called others sotong too often that she became one too. That pile was added to my already mountain high papers. -.-
