How Many Days A Year Do You Work

I was 'prompted' to make this calculation to prove that we are indeed slackers who are paid more than we are worth:

  • 52 weeks a year
  • 5 days a week
  • 18 days of annual leave
  • 11 public holidays
  • 14 days of medical leave
  • 14 days of hospitalization leave
  • 30% each day spent chatting, idling, and sitting on the bowl

=> ((52 * 5) - 18 - 11 - 14 -14 )) * (100-30)%
= 142.1 days (39%)

And I have not applied the theory of Monday blues and Friday moods, which would practically reduce the effective number of working days a week to only ONE (Wednesday).

Not to mention that lots of extra money that goes into, and the frequent flyer miles earned from company sponsored business trips that translates into personal free tickets. Mileage claims, entertainment expenses, overseas travel allowances, hotel stays, transport claims, medical/dental claims, etc., all come into the picture.

See how fortunate we all are - and you dare ask for a raise???

It's a Rainy Morning Today

Could not catch a cab. The bus took a long time.

What to do?

Quote of the day: "maybe she's like chocolate...sweet on the outside, nuts in the inside. "

Welcome the new additions to the family

Came in by VPost this morning. Bare, no case, no card, but soo small and cute.

Visited Comex over the weekend with my brother in law. (Yay, no women and kids in tow :))

Anyway, I bought a Brother DCP-130C for my scanning and printing needs. My mum is making enough noise already. She wants to print her recipes.

Out of sheer vanity, I got myself a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 4GB ... am I satisfied? Maybe ... but it can be better. :-P

Heh, there is a real addition to the (extended) family. Sophia biaomei's Darell is having his first month celebration and Baby Shower this coming Sunday (tomorrow). It's interesting cos this is the first time I have heard of the baby shower concept. I'm sure my 'baby' will have lots of fun with baby Darell. I'll post them here, or on Picasa maybe.

From left to right: Aunt Anita, Rachel, Aunt Mabel, Mum, Cat, Aunt WaiChing, Edmond (Cat's boy), Yvonne (sis).


My item on Alangaaram should be around 11:30am tomorrow (Sunday) at Radin Mas CC.

I've 'completed' the scheduler for our own TR-069 ACS (I am open to business opportunities). More info up and coming in Comsul.

OK lunch time (it's 3:40pm now)!
