「晚上好,你現在所收看的是十一時半晚間新聞報道。好望角商業區晚上發生暴力衝突。晚上十時左右,有地攤小販懷疑因擺賣位置問題爭執,最終演變成多人衝突。據報小販分成兩派互相毆鬥,一部份人更持有武器。事後警方趕往現場出動催淚彈控制場面,但亦造成多名途人受傷......」919Please respect copyright.PENANAgKVvTUThmP

我以驚吼聲宣佈星期日正式結束。吼聲的餘波在我的耳窩內翻滾了幾秒才消失。可是──919Please respect copyright.PENANAu0vHgMIkn0
919Please respect copyright.PENANAqN3VwkwsCm
「呼嚕......呼嚕......呼嚕......」919Please respect copyright.PENANAL7oNIcXaki
919Please respect copyright.PENANAVNGhj3pu55
攤倒在上層的豬隻聞風不動的如常「呼嚕呼嚕」的沉睡,似乎剛才的吼聲對她毫無影響。果然,當豬真好。919Please respect copyright.PENANAYCpdha1ADQ

我趕急套一件襯衫加一條長褲便衝向大堂。一如以往,我到便利店買個早餐,當早班的大媽看見我又熱情的呵呵笑起來。919Please respect copyright.PENANA52Sg8fJ0R8

「沒辦法,今早要回公司趕工。」我略嫌焦躁的著她要了兩個肉包,連她開口說「歡迎再來」也趕不上我便一溜煙走了。919Please respect copyright.PENANA3QaZOUlwXE

我邊跑邊看了看手機──時間是六時半,只要八時前成功進入辦公室便穩了。這時間街上人不多,跑起來很順,照道理應該也不用迫車。好吧,就一口氣衝回去!919Please respect copyright.PENANAmwo9PIxykE
919Please respect copyright.PENANAjltzx8NSik
一如我所料,只有廖廖可數的人在此時間乘車。919Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3LQBTdw06
919Please respect copyright.PENANAeJNV1tnZhg
我穿過斷了一條桿的閘機走進那四處剝落的月台,下班車還要二十分鐘,月台沒有服務員,只有幾個零零丁丁像我一樣的搭客候車。919Please respect copyright.PENANARrmkzU7I3T
919Please respect copyright.PENANA0yk4CHIwiq
鐵路很有趣,感覺像幾十年沒維修過一樣殘舊,活像博物館──不少車齡當我爹還太大的火車仍在鐵軌上咬緊牙關打拚,車內的設施狀況當然亦如其車齡。919Please respect copyright.PENANAG2TDiKPkg4
919Please respect copyright.PENANAA5IomMd3NF
車站亦不遑多讓,不少地方均出現不同程度的牆身剝落卻從不見大規模的維修,某些較少人經過的位置要不群燈閃爍、要不早已烏燈黑火。919Please respect copyright.PENANAAA3PWgrYiA
919Please respect copyright.PENANAPk8l7lOVMu
此外,某些較小型的車站(像我現在這個)像個死城一樣,非繁忙時間基本上看不見職員的身影,連站內店舖亦十室九空。919Please respect copyright.PENANAQYL0ll0e1F
919Please respect copyright.PENANA5rZL0n1mAR
最有趣的是,車站的售票機反而一直保養良好,但我從未見過有人用就是,因為大家都在閘機直接繳款。919Please respect copyright.PENANAN78uN717EZ
919Please respect copyright.PENANA59UZx3FEOb
然而不論如何,票價便宜倒是事實,因為「鐵路」後方的用字是「局」而非「公司」。919Please respect copyright.PENANAlspSLP121z

「列車即將到達──」伴隨著廣播,919Please respect copyright.PENANAz4tBmI2xpl
919Please respect copyright.PENANAF3nHstp3Wn
「颯──隆......隆......唦──」列車進站時刮起一陣涼風,然後車門緩緩打開。919Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y8vgcKzdp
919Please respect copyright.PENANA4vcGFWLsvU
上車後我望了望時間,如無意外45分內便能抵達辦公室──前提是「無意外」。919Please respect copyright.PENANAn9VIr1hFs4
919Please respect copyright.PENANAmKb2Y8IgL3
列車行駛的噪音相當大,有點像站在起飛中的飛機旁,而且左晃右搖、上顫下震,好像隨時會解體的樣子,看來我抽中了老車子。919Please respect copyright.PENANA4jCq69iadq
919Please respect copyright.PENANAxSCygji5Jf
不過我從未聽聞列車行駛中解體的事故,還是別杞人憂天吧──原本我真的這樣想。919Please respect copyright.PENANAxP7SSVlks4
919Please respect copyright.PENANAMXzyyoaEVF
「以下為一段重要廣播──以下為一段重要廣播──以下為一段重要廣播──」列車駛了兩個站便停下來。919Please respect copyright.PENANAhpNFuRIiDe

「由於行車訊號出現問題,本班列車將會有數分鐘延誤,敬請原諒──由於行車訊號出現問題,本班列車將會有數分鐘延誤,敬請原諒──由於行車訊號出現問題,本班列車將會有數分鐘延誤,敬請原諒──」919Please respect copyright.PENANAcs8IoTxEme

這段廣播真的非常重要,每句也要說三次,看來連廣播系統也故障了......只重複東南語廣播。919Please respect copyright.PENANA0BJ1H8yAGd
919Please respect copyright.PENANAAVSqD17vgT
每當那句「本班列車將會有數分鐘延誤」在我耳邊響起一次,我就在數到底延誤了多少個數分鐘。無聊的我邊砍著微型屏幕投影的小鬼(注2),心中邊數砍了多少隻。919Please respect copyright.PENANAUjekMDQtwc
919Please respect copyright.PENANABkThmppnip
正當我數得早已攤倒在座位之際,「輒──」列車毫無先兆的再次行駛,害我差點將頭摔在地。最後這「數分鐘延誤」持續了將近一小時。因此,我大概也要連說三次糟糕了。919Please respect copyright.PENANAEF0Kmkudm6
919Please respect copyright.PENANAPzwJ3Pr2zo
抵站後,我費盡九牛二虎之力從厚厚的肉牆中鑽出車廂,之後連滾帶跑一心只想跑回公司。919Please respect copyright.PENANA2RwxG6hPdA

老板...不,既漂亮又性感再加一點時尚美的姬絲汀小姐有如我的訓導主任一樣指導我,她右手執起膠間尺反覆敲著左掌、一邊以鼻孔代替嘴孔向我訓話。919Please respect copyright.PENANAuxT0VjRjsX

「列車故障又如何?!看看你周圍,今天每一個人也準時到達,別跟我找藉口!」我轉身向四圍瞥了眼──四大美人到齊,潮妹在把玩手機,源哥在──919Please respect copyright.PENANAD95rttJm0s
919Please respect copyright.PENANAyfoKb9xlQ6
「老板!源哥也未到,不只是我遲到!」919Please respect copyright.PENANAUi3pIo9GD7
919Please respect copyright.PENANAc36rY6meul
「小源子今天請假,你放假放傻了嗎?還有,我。不。是。你。老。板,我很『老』嗎!?叫我姬絲汀。」我一踏進辦公室,連行裝也未放上位子便不斷被姬絲汀打槍,我不能再浪費時間了,我還要處理那事。919Please respect copyright.PENANAHXa5l8IAtY
919Please respect copyright.PENANA9lsXAQjkql
「姬絲汀......這個......你星期六吩咐過我處理那堆......」原本還打算說甚麼的姬絲汀突然時間停止了一秒,然後再次露出她當正職時的表情──919Please respect copyright.PENANAiiMf8XGTiB

我的雙手快速的在眼前大大小小的屏幕中遊走著(注3),我將星期日趕起的文件與圖表全部從內聯帳戶打開後一次過輸送到印表機(按:因為開會的大都是老花年紀,看不慣電子投影),然後我趁列印進行中的空檔將文件皮、打孔機、穿繩之類通通從文具櫃搬一堆到桌上。919Please respect copyright.PENANAixYKApHaNp
919Please respect copyright.PENANAFfAk7YqrMf
我從印表機那擔著一疊又一疊紙奔回位子,那感覺就像農夫大豐收一樣。919Please respect copyright.PENANAPDSkCfjbi4
919Please respect copyright.PENANArcZiUIjVj2
之後我將所有零件順組合次序於桌上一字排開,一共排了三排,然後像砌模型一樣打孔、疊好、穿繩,最後置於那紅色的軟文件皮內。919Please respect copyright.PENANARTotkDW6kY
919Please respect copyright.PENANAmyOLRbHdzl

我的雙手及視線於桌面的文件堆中不斷來回躍動,第二疊、第三疊、第四疊、第五疊......919Please respect copyright.PENANAPTfFvTUhai
919Please respect copyright.PENANAdyIlYKSWzm
「呼......」弄好最後一疊,自意識回到肉身後我望了望時間,還有六分鐘。正當我邊鬆了口氣邊檢查一次時,發現有兩本的頁面弄錯了,應該還有兩分鐘──919Please respect copyright.PENANAHLDzkAcFCu
919Please respect copyright.PENANAyKDShKNbOp
我手起刀落直接將穿繩剪掉,然後雙手於兩本東西上風捲殘雲的翻弄了幾圈。919Please respect copyright.PENANACSmc6Iaxaq
919Please respect copyright.PENANAQMze7GGXo3
我雙手各抓起一疊成品直衝會議室。當我用力將門踢開時,會議室內那堆老頭不期然的轉頭盯向我的方向──919Please respect copyright.PENANAXT32VK637p

楊(貴)菲是我部門的四大美人之一,與我一同負責處理員工福利的事宜。919Please respect copyright.PENANAlAZT1KhHNC
919Please respect copyright.PENANAYCo7H9z1NJ
記憶之中她有個五、六的女兒,但我經常聽見她說升小學的事,甚至連升中、選哪家大學哪個學系似乎亦在策劃當中......919Please respect copyright.PENANASYipPROnmD

身後一陣沈重的腳步聲步步迫近,一個肥肥白白的身影將胸前那疊沈甸甸的文件丟到我的桌上,桌面隨即「碰」的慘叫了一聲。919Please respect copyright.PENANAT6P9xNVWTf
919Please respect copyright.PENANAiqDso82BOe
「那輪到我放鬆一下了。」楊姐放下胸頭文件後,如釋重負地笑著走回位子。919Please respect copyright.PENANA20pSt2SHxu

「假期紀錄不是楊姐你負責處理的嗎?」919Please respect copyright.PENANAky9D5nsmJQ
919Please respect copyright.PENANAXrlMnMabX3
「是啊,但主任說,我們這裡任何人『有必要』的話也可請你協助我們處理喔,我有其他要事要先處理,所以麻煩你代勞一下吧!」不久我便知道她的「要事」所指何事──919Please respect copyright.PENANA9WYzJdRJJv
919Please respect copyright.PENANAvEcjS5glni
「快要暑假了,你們今年打算去哪旅行?」919Please respect copyright.PENANA9WqvyuOWpI
919Please respect copyright.PENANA7PINc2AWB8
「哎...今年未必去旅行了,地球上的不少地方都去過了,所以今年原本打算去月球走一趟的,但我那個不肖子,在本地的話,看他的樣子也只能讀野雞大學了。所以我打算將他丟到奧羅巴(注4),縱使最後是進野雞,但好歹學成回來也是隻洋野雞吧。」昭君帶點牢騷的說。919Please respect copyright.PENANAzwYtqOijJF
919Please respect copyright.PENANA7uagNxCT8M
「所以呢,凡事做足準備是必需的。我從她未出生開始已將她人生每一個階段都已作好完善的規劃,報讀小學的前期準備已經全部做好了,待她一到六歲我便帶她去面試。」楊姐胸有成竹的口吻,看來一切正按她計劃進行中。919Please respect copyright.PENANAo7iIwEDlfe

身後的四大美人你一句我一句的熱烈地共商國是。當老板不在的時候,她們便會丟下手上的工作(或丟給我)開大會。919Please respect copyright.PENANApNBvBtUgjp
919Please respect copyright.PENANAWVq341pNmx
她們討論的內容不外乎就是子女教育問題、放假去哪兒旅行、家中的飛禽走獸,花草樹木的狀況、明星八掛之類,偶爾也會小聲開動一下成人台。919Please respect copyright.PENANAZcnbTGH2i1
919Please respect copyright.PENANAmkX0dSLylD
「呵呵...幸好我早已捱過了你們的階段了,不過我最近也在煩惱為兒子報讀博士的事宜。能讀個DBA(注5)我就心足了,但到底亞美尼加(注6)還是奧羅巴較好呢...?總之就讓人頭痛。話說我退休後也打算去火星一趟,反正到時時間方便多了。」茜大媽雖然說著令她頭痛的事,但語氣卻感覺不出苦惱。919Please respect copyright.PENANAOKeXFyxCCu
919Please respect copyright.PENANAYEswiukqaH
「茜姐你實在太幸福了,下年你就夠年齡吃公家飯(注7)吧?我們這些還不知要捱多少個十年吶~不過去火星很貴吧──不,沒事了。」919Please respect copyright.PENANAlE93R5lskT
919Please respect copyright.PENANAzSsWLDFOMs
楊姐有點自愧不如的停了口。茜(詩)大媽是四大美人中最年長的,聽說獨立前已在這家公司工作了。919Please respect copyright.PENANAUR3JoUzPPa
919Please respect copyright.PENANAPxc71ve1ne
她的老公聽說是退休高級公務員,既吃長俸又能吃公家飯,根本不愁沒錢。919Please respect copyright.PENANAgzqpDCVnM8
919Please respect copyright.PENANAipSt67kSh4
楊姐說的很有道理,我們這些年紀最少要多捱幾十年才有望看見飯鍋的背影,然而近年法定退休年齡不斷推遲,我也不清楚自己能否在有生之年趕上飯鍋移動的步伐,最壞的情況是飯鍋在我趕路半途爆炸......919Please respect copyright.PENANAcaBhfCID72
919Please respect copyright.PENANAdupCdTQlJl
「去火星的確所費不菲,價錢比月球貴多了。所以我也要盤算一下從哪國出發較划算......」919Please respect copyright.PENANADiImIHLUAF
919Please respect copyright.PENANAI6lwsv2Fmm
「亞美尼加吧?」昭君說。茜大媽搖搖頭:「亞美尼加就真的太貴了......我打算從奧羅巴或羅斯克(注8)二選一...」919Please respect copyright.PENANA1QrzDomgeC
919Please respect copyright.PENANAFFaHtipHWu

919Please respect copyright.PENANAkEvBsagcP8
「唉呀!我的小娃兒今年也升中了啦,他讀到喜歡的中學喔~我也很高興。」最後由剛才一直插不了咀的(貂)嬋姐打破沉默。919Please respect copyright.PENANA4NZzcWdex0

整場的氣氛總算恢復正常。919Please respect copyright.PENANAw7iVyeveW0
919Please respect copyright.PENANACcz7gJMJBd
「哎,嬋姐,你說那間聽聞不太好的吧?雖然是私立,但似乎品質不見得很好,而且那裡很多學生也是──」楊姐說了一半,大概知道自己又準備引雷,所以就停下了。919Please respect copyright.PENANA69Ktm7ix5z
919Please respect copyright.PENANA7iMjb5WJKj
只見嬋姐苦笑了一下。919Please respect copyright.PENANAw8oLoq4G6Z
