daily gripe

a phone call came for my finance manager about me...

...citibank was doing their credit checks on me regarding my credit card applications. apparently they still didn't believe that i was working for a real-life, true to scale, registered legally company. for more information, please check previous entries.

so anyways, this was somewhat how the conversation went according to my finance manager.

Citibank: can i enquire as to your company details? do you have a company registration number, your office location, number of employees etc..?

FinanceManager: yes we do have all those information.

C: how long has your company been operating? are you a local company? we have never heard of you. is your company public i.e. listed on the SGX?

FM: 20 + years. No, we are an MNC. sorry that you have never heard of us. yes we are public, we are not listed on the SGX, we are listed on the London Sotck Exchange and the NYSE.

C: oh.

FM: do you have any questions regarding our employee and his application status? or are you checking up on our company as a whole? we could refer you to our corporate finance office in san franciso or closer to home, sydney?

C: oh. no. it's fine. yes we are enquring about your employee. we will proceed to approve his credit card applications.

FM: thank you. *puts phone down*

FM to me: all settled.

me: thanks lots.

so anyways, not to belabour any further point, the cards arrived in the mail earlier today.

okok...fine, just one point. sometimes i think that we do not need to nurture more creativity for the entrepeurial class. all we need to do is inculcate common sense into the current working-pretending to be professional class.
