the can-can man ...

managed to catch the always-not-around IT guy so i immediately went to their side and asked about the servers. with boss squeezing the deadline from 5 days to 3 days to 2 days (simply by saying, 'can? OT from sunday, not that you run the whole day maah' yeah right!) i really need to get all the confirmation before going there next monday. he is someone noone likes to liaise with, he is the person who always got me annoyed. no one in my dept wants to liaise with him but i had no choice. as usual, all my annoyance at someone will disappear just as soon as i see that person's face, and it happens with him as well. so there i was, discussing with him on the changes, how it would affect us, and what was it gonna be like. as usual, he simply listen, nod and only said a few words, mainly yes-sure-can; the reason nobody knows how to communicate with him. i ended up the conversation by saying,'so - free lunch for me today?' he looked at me with a blank expression and i answered his puzzled look with a 'i thought you'll say can can again mah', laughed and walked away. the first time i saw him smiling!!
