Achieving the workaholic status is starting to seem quite probable now, as I realize my life is increasingly turning around my work. My family barely sees me. I only use my room to sleep. My friends see me on facebook mostly. I rarely spend a Sunday without going into the office. Saturdays are just like [...]
Another employee has been sacked on Friday, on the grounds of prolonged absenteeism. But we all know that it is in the process of downsizing that employees are being made redundant.

Everything was going fine, until the day the boss’ son in law found a diskette containing the [...]
It’s been 4 weeks since my boss and family left for holidays, and left some follow-ups for me to do. One of those included liasing with a freight forwarder company for delivery of a container to our premises. Piece of cake i said to myself.

It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Been busy/lazy/whatever ….
I am now in Shanghai, feeling darn cold. I will spare the rants about Air Mauritius’s lack of Chinese music and movie channels not properly identifiable. There is no HK destination on the list of flights.
I moved into a small apartment, [...]
Happy new year!
