I am a marked man

I am a marked man.
Today when I went over to the NS Section to bug branch head Mdm Savetri for the monthly NS Matters report which I have to compile along with others for AMD, she answered me with a curt reply of "I will pass it to you shortly." However, I was not inclined to believe her as she had fibbed me just last month. Her procrastination is legendary (Mdm if you read this pls forgive me) and a source of immense frustration for me since she's the last piece of the puzzle which I need to complete my job for the month. I recalled just yesterday when she told me she would give it to me either that evening or nxt morning,(but of course she didn't). So to elicit a response from her, i turned on my boyish charm, and smiling, said, "Mdm, may I have an estimated time of arrival of your report?", at which she responded by shouting at me. That was the first time i was being shouted, since becoming the People Development Clerk Officer ( a great misnomer because I am only of Lance Corporal Rank) of Sembawang Airbase. Here I was displaying my professionalism by being on the ball, oozing patience to boot, and despite that being reprimanded by someone who felt I was not trusting her enough. (duh. once beaten twice shy) So yea. I think I have said enough. A word more would get me into trouble with SAF.
