Silent Your Mobile Phone
Posted by jiunjie in Office Bored, Typical Malaysian on March 9, 2010
I really don’t understand why those office assholes can’t just switch their mobile phone to silent mode while attending meeting or in a movie.
It is really annoying when a meeting or movie is undergoing and out of sudden, the phone is ringing…
I know they want to show off their ring tone, mp3 format, lossless quality, dynamic surround sound quality and show the hippy side of them, but please not during a business meeting with your colleagues, bosses or clients or in a movie.
This will only show where your professionalism level is. In your ass I guess.
Another tragic is they like to leave their mobile phone on their workplace, when the phone is ringing, they are nowhere to be seen. So the phone keeps ringing nonstop. It gets really annoying when the phone is set to maximum mind blasting volume.
Can’t they just be smart enough to know the importance of the occasion and automatically turn their phone to silent? Do these office assholes need to be reminded just like those advertisement in cinema to politely request you to turn off or silent your mobile phone? Even a nine year old know how to turn off the phone during the class. Asshole!
These office assholes working in a multinational company, carrying high qualification from famous institution or university, dressing in branded and looking smart and professional, earning high salary, but do not know how and when to turn their mobile into silent according to occasion and importance. Asshole!
Over budget? Try this!
Almost everybody looking forward for their salary pay day, but sometimes we do have too many commitments to be fulfilled. Hence, over budget does happen once awhile or disaster could happen if you spend more than what you earned.
Of course there are so many ways we can earn extra cash to cover our budget and cut down our spending by shop lesser, spend lesser to bring our budget down. In my opinion, there is one more tip than people often overlooked.
Your meals! Your breakfast, lunch, dinner and including snacks and tea time. The routine which everybody will need to go through every day to get ourselves charged up and keep us going throughout the day.
Spend less on your meals, buy less or stop buying junk food during snake snack and tea time. Cut down or eliminate on dessert after meals.
Cut down or not to order any drinks during meals. I believe most of our offices has pantry and provides hot or warm water, bring your own coffee or tea and make use of it to make your drinks, instead of spending extra cash on it in restaurant.
These little money that don’t really make a difference at one glance, what is a little of RM1-RM2 to you from your whole sum of salary can make an impact? Because you are doing it as a routine during meals, you would be surprised how much you can save.
Strange Encounter with Strangers
Posted by jiunjie in Office Bored, Personal Encounter on December 10, 2009
I’m working in an IT company, and based at client’s office, so every day I meet many unknown people in various workplace.
Usually I’ll greet or at least nod my head with eye contact whenever I meet these people in office regardless I know them or not, because we are all in the same workplace.
There is this Malay lady whom I guess is from building maintenance management based on her outfit, walkie-talkie in her hand, running from place to place for checkup daily, she came to me when I was playing games working with my eyes staring on my notebook and greet me! I didn’t realize she was around me until she greeted me and I look away from my notebook and greet back to her.
A few more people whom I don’t know and didn’t work with me passed by my cubicle and greeted me and asked me whether I have my breakfast/lunch. Strangely, I barely know them by names except for their faces. It is very kind and friendly of them to someone don’t work for them.
