i feel sooo.... motivated!

i have 1 disgruntled and very negative 2ic, 2 chubby execs (both joined in march) who yak yak yak all day, and a replacement to be hired.

i guess i cant blame the execs - they didnt seem to get much help and support from 2ic before i joined. they were struggling on their own, at the mercy of the sales wolves.

time to test my management skill... hahaha...

i need a new pc boss

as suspected, the machines in chee-na office are damn old.

and mine, according to outsourced IT guy, is at least 4 years old (inherited from predecessor).

heck, the desktop is even older than my old acer at home (i am currently using a fujitsu duo core processor - and i am already complaining).

funny thing is - my office pc hangs on me every day from 9am till lunchtime. especially microsoft outlook. open an email = reboot pc (repeat when necessary)

i dont know how to justify to my boss, but i really only want a new pc.

i even consider telling him, "why dont i bring my own laptop to work?" ie. mine is even more hi tech than yours!

any ideas? alternatively, i can just work half a day in afternoon.

i swear i didnt cause this problem!

ps. to visualize the extent of the stinginess, 80% of office still using CRT monitors. ahahaha...

boss does matter

good management support is so important!

first day of work - lousy desk (very cramped) i got backache after a few hours

slow pc, older than my obselete model at home

never mind all this

i got a focused and supportive boss

that's what counts, at the end of the day

not someone who only cares to cover own ass

bring work home on weekends also more 甘愿啦!

looking smart for tomorrow

new chapter

new beginning

new shithole!

iras

finally got to filing my income tax returns forms online.

dont forget!

deadline : 18 april

the runs

i have been sitting on the toilet bowl more than 10 times today!

i hope it's nothing serious. hehe... would like to treat it as dispensing all the rotten fruit karma away!

otherwise i feel fine.

going to book a spa session on monday - only $69 inclusive of scrub, steam bath and massage.

2nd chance

i sure hope i can be jian ming like kxbc. found an opening with a chinese company, very rich (read : stingy in caps) chairman, and what i perceive to be not too bad a boss (chairman not my boss).

i am starting next week. hope the politics wont be too drama mama like hongkie serials!
