Strange Encounter with Strangers
Posted by jiunjie in Office Bored, Personal Encounter on December 10, 2009
I’m working in an IT company, and based at client’s office, so every day I meet many unknown people in various workplace.
Usually I’ll greet or at least nod my head with eye contact whenever I meet these people in office regardless I know them or not, because we are all in the same workplace.
There is this Malay lady whom I guess is from building maintenance management based on her outfit, walkie-talkie in her hand, running from place to place for checkup daily, she came to me when I was playing games working with my eyes staring on my notebook and greet me! I didn’t realize she was around me until she greeted me and I look away from my notebook and greet back to her.
A few more people whom I don’t know and didn’t work with me passed by my cubicle and greeted me and asked me whether I have my breakfast/lunch. Strangely, I barely know them by names except for their faces. It is very kind and friendly of them to someone don’t work for them.

Somewhere in the middle of October, I was taking the bus to office for work as usual. But that day it was a bit unusual because as I paid my bus fare, the bus driver suddenly talked to me and informs me about tentative information that he received, which by somewhere in month of November, this route for this bus will be cancelled as they will consolidate a few routes and extend their travel journey.
I thank him after I took my ticket from the driver as usual as well as for that piece of information, as I might need to look for alternative way to get to work if this route is going to cancel.
I found a seat in the bus and sat down. Then I started to think, why is the bus driver didn’t tell anybody who were onboard before me from the same station that I took from (nobody is after me as usual I like to queue up last, will explain why next post)?
