contradicting notice

Today, I just saw a notice in my pantry that says "Protect the earth, use less paper cup" then to my surprise, we do not have paper cups. We have styrofoam cups... Erm... Is the styrofoam cups more hurting to the earth or the paper cups? To what I know styrofoam cups are non biodegradable but paper cup could be biodegradable.. Perhaps the company thinks that paper cups are hurting the earth so they use styrofoam cups that "would not" hurt the earth?? Hmm.. who knows..

Chair

Hello, I just bought 2 office chairs for my brother and I.. treated it as a birthday present for him.. hahaha.. actually wanted to get a ps3, but then no $$.. fixed the chairs and now I am happily sitting on it with confidence.. HA HA HA $128x2 for ikea chair.. Yesterday went to buy a printer for one of our company event, we were at South Asia computers in Funan (the one you can go into on the outside via the escalator straight) we almost bought one printer from them but when we saw a smaller one we asked them to let us see the other printer (the colleagues going over there wanted a portable one). Attitude of the staff.. -100 seems practically dun bother to sell their products and then ask their staff there they just point you to the direction and then they also dunno the products they are selling (product knowledge - NIL). simply walked out and went to the shop next door to buy from them.. They were professional and recommend several products for you to choose and tells you how to use them, etc..

Moral of the story, when you want to sell things.. KNOW your stuff.

To be sad or not to be?

My temp job in credit suisse just got extended till next year.. one thing i am not happy about is that, my hourly pay did not increase.. damn low morale.. $7 for a graduate then other people out there earning like 2.5 - 3k a month. damn sianz.. But then what I am happy is that credit suisse is a nice company to work for.. everyday got different problems to tackle.. This is because they have so many events going on.. I am wondering why can't they just get an event company and then sort out all the events' stuff through the event company? Today got "scolded" by one of the RMs as their cheque to one of their clients did not get through and they were scolding us for not taking ownership.. hello... if you want to please your client, please take ownership to your cheque and not pass it to the marketing to handle it.. why scold us when the accounts people are slow in their payment? It is not us who are handling payments.. also you should note to us that it is urgent instead of just letting it idle around and when situation arise then come and fuck people..

I am enjoying my Wii at the moment.. my brother is lemming for a ps3 now.. now i just wish that i could get a permanent job instead of temporary assignment when even after you worked for 6 months and start to apply for a job, people will still not consider your temporary job as experience.. life just sucks for now..

Canberra

Canberra is a very small capital town of Australia.. So small that it feels like a NFSC city to me.. Very easy to drive around and you can get from one place to another within half an hour.. nice place for retirement..
