YY's Little O.L. Notes

Sunday, January 19, 2003

Got this from a friend and I find most of the points quite true for me, what about you ?

You know you're living in the "02's" when:

1. You have 5 passwords, but can only remember one.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

4. You e-mail your buddy who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do
not have e-mail addresses.

6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the
phone in a business manner.

7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally insert a
"9" to get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for f! our years and worked for three
different companies.

9. Your company's welcome sign is attached with Velcro.

10. Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.

11. You can only write on 'sticky pads'.

12. Your biggest loss from a system crash was when you lost all of
your best jokes.

13. Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job.

14. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get
long-service awards.

15. Board members salaries are higher than all the Third World
countries annual budgets combined.

16. Interviewees, despite not having relevant knowledge or
experience, terminate the interview when told of the starting salary.

17. Free food left over from meetings is your staple diet.

18. Your supervisor gets a brand-new state-of-the-art laptop with
all the latest features, while you have time to go for lunch while yours
boots up.

19. Being sick is defin! ed as you can't walk or you're the in
hospital.

20. There's no money in the budget for the five permanent staff your
department desperately needs, but they can afford four full-time
management
consultants advising your boss's boss on strategy.

21. Your relatives and family describe your job as "works with
computers".

AND THE CLINCHERS ARE..

22. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.

23. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your
"friends".

Re-Starting of Blog

As you can see from my last blog, I kind of lose the momentum in writing. Why ? Here's my reasons:

1. I treat Blog as a kind of stress daily. Without stress, I can write nothing.

2. I was over-whelmed by the noisiness of my staff, I need quiet environment to think.

3. My thoughts are dry during the day. The best time to write is after mid-night. However, I have to sleep early in order to be able to get up in time for work the following day.

I guess today, my stress has reached certain level which motivates me to start writing again...
