This may be just a dream but I remember the most significant detail that night. The company gave away an Atom PDA phone to everyone in my department and I was the one doing the distribution. Boxes after boxes, I felt so sore that I wasn't assign any. At the bottom of the huge box, I saw Dopod box! I asked a colleague who is this one for. He said "It's yours! The boss knew you had always wanted that."

I was over the moon. I played with it like all the way home. In my journey I had even planned what to install in it like my Sims 2 etc (What!? Its my dream!). I can't even wait to get to work the next day, apparently awaiting for free stuff :P but to my horror the same colleage started packing all the PDAs back into that enormous brown box.

Me: What's going on?
Him: Oh, they decided to take it back.
Me: 'They' who?
Him: Management... I sure hope you brought yours today.

With a heavy heart, I placed mine back in the Dopod box and sealed it into that big brown box. I kinda get its meaning even before I woke up, really. This is what happen when you're working for an organisation who overpromise and underdeliver. I should be a shrink or something.
