The Working Life

5 Jan

Soon after her exams were over, M1, together with her cousin, came to work for hubby and I at the office. Although workload has been quite easy, I managed to find things to keep them occupied.

The family insisted we assign them things to learn or keep them busy to understand the hardship of real work; even if it means cleaning the store room.

It’s been over a month already that the both of them worked for me and cleaned the store room they did. However the timing of their employment, being the year end, I have to plan their time well as a lot of projects are either completed or pushed to the new year. I shouldn’t allow the both of them to just twiddle their thumbs in the office, painting a false picture of the work environment. Nor can I have them surfing the internet, on YouTube or whatever, doing unproductive computer activity. Both are, after all, on the payroll by the hour.

So cleaning the store room was apt.

Should I Be Upset?

2 Jan

Last week, there was a cold rainy morning and I didn’t feel like wearing my sandals to work. Instead I thought a warm snug fit into my Blundstone would be nice. Been a while since I last wore them. I even envisioned myself traipsing over puddles of water and don’t have to worry about getting my toes wet.

But it was not meant to be. The left sole of my Blundstone disintegrated that morning as I stood there talking to my mother, unaware of the situation. And as I was about to leave only I was aware of the puddle of crumbs on the floor. I was mildly upset. By the time I drove to the office, the right sole disintegrated too!

The boots are hardly overused and slightly over 3 years old. A quick check on the internet resulted in many complaints about this occurring and quite common apparently. So I am not the only one. Even Russell Crowe had problems with his Blunnies. Wow.

Maybe I shouldn’t be so upset after all…

A Good Start

1 Jan

Although I was ready to start my Nora Roberts’ novel, the obsession with my games was, well, an obsession. The last two days in the office, I was alternating between popping soda bottles and rescuing bears, crushing candies and harvesting crops in between working on a few projects due in January. I persevered if you may (for my games rather than work), hoping there will be a positive outcome into the new year.

As you know, I have been agonizing over my lack of progress especially for Candy Crush but was determined to beat it. Thank goodness for my persistence because I was finally rewarded for all the games! In Farm Heroes, I progressed to Level 623 and Candy Crush Soda, to Level 112. As for Candy Crush, the one game that I feared I would be stuck forever coming into the new year, not only I finally conquered Level 751 (Woohoo!!!) and came out tops , I moved on to Level 755 and on the verge of embarking in the new chapter!

A good start to kick off the year as I sense a better 2015 ahead. Happy New Year!
