CBD Withdrawal Symptom
Monday, September 19, 2005
Audio : Listen

My new cubicle
My New Cubicle
I am suffering from Acute CBD Withdrawal Symptoms. I can not sit properly in my chair (currently still my Herman Miller), feel uneasy walking around the office...

Let me explain the situation.

Two canteens (or so I heard) within a radius of 5-10 minutes' walk. Lots of heavy vehicles moving around the roads. Loads of dirt on the road. No signs of CBD working life here at all. Not much 'executive' looking people walking around, no fairs being held, nobody wearing 'Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How' badges, nobody carrying bags to work out at the nearest California Fitness or Planet Fitness.

Welcome to Tai Seng Drive. My new workplace, the same old company.

We have finally finished configuring the servers to get our support services working and things seem to be working per normal. However, the people here seem to be suffering from mass CBD withdrawal symptoms.

First up on the list of 'oh-my-gods' would be our tea-breaks. There used to be at least one kopitiam, coffee house, fast-food restaurant, eatery, etc. right around just about every corner in Raffles Place. But it is a totally different story here. Our nearest 'watering-hole' is located about 5 minutes walk away from the office and situated smack in the middle of a JTC industrial estate. It is daunting just to think of walking there for a cuppa. Therefore, I missed my daily morning shot of kopi-o this morning.

Needless to say, the popular 'tissue-culture' of Raffles Place does not work anymore. Your packet of tissues that you used to 'chop' the seat will most likely end up in somebody's pocket, AND your seat taken too.

While moving over, I decided not to bring along my mug. It was a thermal cup but seem to be starting to rust. Big mistake. I forgot to bring a new cup here and will have to depend on water dispenser styrofoam cups for the day (or two, maybe three). Our coffee machine decided to call it quits with the move. It does not seem to want to start up. Maybe it also does not want to work outside the CBD area?

Looking on the (only) bright side, the bus ride from my house to office is a mere 25 minutes - during the rush hour in the morning. Hooray! Duh!

I. MUST. BE. HAPPY.
