Phone Guy

This ****** guy has been going into the open area of the apartment at the God forsaken hours of 5 AM and talking LOUDLY on the phone for a couple of times now. If it's not for worrying about waking up even MORE people than the jackass, I would have yelled at him a long time ago. Where is that supersoaker 3000 when I need it? Is it really assault if you splash someone with a supersoaker?? I really need to learn some profanities in HIS language.

Stuck in a Rut

Been feeling like stuck in a rut lately and just can't get out, both at work and at home. There's a Chinese saying about moaning when you are not ill and that's exactly how I feel. In this economy, having a reasonably stable job is a blessing, how dare I complain about it not being challenging enough? Perhaps part of it is the economy, with the recession and all that, just not a lot of projects going on that I can participate in. Or I have hit that point where I need to move on... but no where to move in this economy either. Ironically, work is also pushing out this Sabbetical program - one month no way, or three to six months with 40% pay if you are an outstanding employee. Sadly, I am not even sure what I am going to do with all those time off, that and I have an addiction of spending money. I'd rather go to work, earn my paycheck and blow a (small) portion on it on stuff that I want but don't need, instead of staying home all day but have to watch my spending... nobody says life is perfect.

Work and Twitter

I have learned that my work place has set up a Twitter account -- for branding and recruiting, it says. That is cool and all that, but I don't know how to be able to follow work's twitter. I have tried very hard to remain anonymous, except for the few I have directly given this URL to. I definitely want to keep my personal life and work separate. Let's be honest, half the things I post here will raise many flags with the HR, and no, I do not rant about my viewpoint on gay marriage and/or religion at work, but I do want to be able to freely express myself at home. If I follow my company's twitter, others will be able to find my twitter... you get the drift. That is much worse than simply bringing work home and blurring that line about work and home.

Given all these cases about people being fired over what the post on MySpace, I feel that this signing up to work's twitter thing is almost borderline entrapment. O.o Luckily, I'm not from the my-life-is-an-open-book generation. And I sure hope that acquaintances of mine who stumble upon this blog will not know my identify. :)
