What are we waiting for? It is now.

Mark the date.

This is surely not the latest tech thing  for those who are into GTD and productivity but it is worth sharing with you.

Registration is so easy and it comes with 2GB of storage which is more than enough for me. Recommended for those who are always on a move and work with few computer or device.

Ok, why so awesome?

It is like a USB flash drive basically, minus the physical object. Everything happens on the cloud. All i need to do is just drag and drop my files into the Dropbox folder- voila, and now i have that file in all my compatible devices – iPhone, Windows PC, Mac and Android. Another beauty to this app is that you can retrieve and share your files online. You will never lose your file ever again!

Go check it out!

When the stage is set, you need someone to do the magic.

Again I am lucky that i can meet shitty people. So lucky that i see that person everyday. Every single day he serve as a reminder to me.

Imagine.

It is funny to see someone doing jobs that was previously done by his staffs but he has to do it all by himself. When you are the ‘boss’ one must never forget where are the roots. Roots are the one holding you so that you get the sun, they are the provider of the tree.

You can verbally trash your people, you can treat them like a mongrel, you can do whatever you want BUT without them you will have to do those jobs yourself. This is what happened today. It is a fact and you can never deny that.

It’s sad and pathetic to see such happenings but i still can laugh over it, because i’m cruel. God created Karma for a reason. Yes you can ill treat people today and tomorrow, but remember – tomorrow is not the last day. There is always the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the day where one person will have the last laugh.

You may not know when the tree will fall, if it ever fall, you still need those roots.

So…please be humble. It does not hurt to be humble.

I want to have that last laugh.

Here are some of them :

Blasting ring tones – Set your ring tones to level 5 or more and choose some high pitch annoying ring tones. Alternatively you can select and play thru your ringtones selection during office hours.

‘Hello’ loudly – Say HELLO as if you are shouting at your 80 years old grandmother across a busy street.
Boss ar boss – When your boss walk in, say – Boss ar Boss, keep on calling Boss ar Boss every time you need to call your boss. In no time, you will be labeled Ass Licker or Shoe Polisher.

Wet the toilet – Proof to your colleagues how big was your ‘business’ in the toilet. Wet the entire toilet floor with water hose after your answer to nature’s call. They will have to tip toe and get their socks wet every time they go to the toilet. Leave some chocolate residues if possible.

Don’t refill the water – Always attempt to be the last one filling up your mug or bottle and emptying the water tank. Be the first one to refill whenever your colleague replace the water tank. Show them you are here to take and not give.
Removing your shoes – Attempt to trip your  colleagues by removing your shoes right in the middle of doorway. It will be funny if they fall.

Wrong paper size – Deliberately set the wrong paper size and print it and the printer will just go teeeeeet. In the mean time, go take a dump in the toilet.

Speak with slang and bad grammar – Hies, my names iss Makesmesucks and I am the callings froms Kedais Runcits Goods. Mays I orders 6 packets of Cintan mees from yours warehouse thats days one.Whens you sends comes the Cintan mees?  Thanks yous verys muchs and byes.

Hyena ‘hihihi’ laughs – A typical scenario in my office – Hey you know ar…hihihi.. i saw 3 tortoises ar…hihihihi..trying to hump a rabbit just now..hihihihihi…it was like the hor… like the hihihihihi…then hor the rabbit hor hihihihi… When this happens i just feel like slapping that fella silly. No wonder communication is so bad. In the scale of lameness, this sort of people will 9/10.  Seriously what is so funny? It is only tortoise trying to hump a rabbit.

Well… what i mention above managed to annoy me. If you have some of those habits, please warn me so that i can stay away from you.

Be considerate to your colleagues.

I seriously think i should cut down my internet hours. Plan to catch up reading my photog magazines and learn something new.

GOAL 1 : For a start, 2 hours of internet after office hours (unless needed) on weekdays.

Internet is so fun, but sometimes it sucks big time.

TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING IS NOT GOOD.

Here is the Sick(six) List…

1. Hypocrisy - Generally i just cant stand hypocrisy anywhere. I do really appreciate people who are genuine and sincere. I do not need people who smile and say “Ok ok..sure can” but end up with something different.

Hypocrisy can be displayed in different manner, one that i see everyday – colleague acting all damn busy with messy tables accompanied with panting facial expression and heavy breathing like a asthma patient in need of inhaler after being chased by 16 freaking dogs infected by rabies.Well,this only happens when the boss walks into the office.

2. Double Standards - I know i know.. the world is never fair, but it has to be fair to a certain extend. If we are all one company, shouldn’t we all work under the same set of rules? Well some get exceptions, will most remain the same. Some seem to have unlimited leaves, some can come in at 12noon leave at 2pm, often miss work without excuses.

3. Acting Smart - Yaaa yaaa i know you are old, i know you have gone through so much in life. I know you think highly of yourself but the rest just don’t think like you.

Trying to be smart (when you are not) will make you a big fool, a very big fool. Be smart, but never act smart. It is obvious when you are just acting smart.

4. Inconsistency – To be a respected figure, you must be consistent with your words and actions. You cant expect to be respected by others when your words are just words. Words are like commitments, once said we take it for real. Don’t come changing words to suit your selfishness.

5. Pretending to be Forgetful - Oh sorry sorry..i forgot..oh sorry..really sorry. Sounds familiar? Annoy the hell out of me when one act like that. Either you are being irresponsible or trying to be very funny at work. No one is too busy or will ever neglect something if that bloody something is important.

6. I Don’t Know (go dig your nose then) - Why don’t you tell yourself that you are just not fit for the job? Damn, it is so shitted whenever someone tells me that he/she does not know something. There are lots of things that i don’t know as well, but i tell myself i have to know them because it is my responsibility. I have the responsibility to go find out, that is what we are paid for. Some people will just use the excuse – I DON’T KNOW to avoid anything given to them. They can run away from it but that just proves that he/she is not fit for the job.

More to come.. soon..

In recognition of Rapid Penang bus captain’s effort for 2009, they had their family day at Penang Free School.
