Annoying Office Habits!

Business Basics
How Loud Is Too Loud?
Tara Weiss, 07.10.07, 3:00 PM ETWhile working at a weekly newspaper in Wisconsin, Angela Kargus became intimately acquainted with a co-worker’s personal life. Kargus learned about her fertility problems, that her dog urinates all over the carpet and that she does indeed have a regular menstrual cycle.

You’re right to think these are the kind of personal details shared over a cup of coffee or on a friend’s couch. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. Kargus and her co-worker aren’t even friends. But her co-worker is a classic workplace loud talker. She yapped on her cellphone throughout the day with friends and, quite frequently, her mother.

This probably sounds familiar. Office loud talkers are everywhere, and the worst part is, they probably don’t even realize they’ve been labeled as such. To the unknowing, here’s a tip: Proper decorum calls for people to take personal conversations outside the office or into the hallway, especially since so many workplaces are in an open format where only top managers have offices (and doors they can close).

sunday drive car breakdown

Sitting here at inside the car on a 93 deg heat is not a good way to spend my sunday afternoon.
As always triple A came to the rescue! There was a slight confusion on the street name whereas the difference between Lane and Blvd will take you a couple miles off the current location.
Thank God my bayaw Jeff is just a few minutes away so my wife and kids got a ride cuz we couldn’t get a hold of my son. I guess he was taking an afternoon nap at that time.
4:45pm – got here at the mechanic’s place since this breakdown happened on a sunday I have to leave this car at the parking lot and sit tight until my bayaw gets here to pick me up.
Well… That’s it for my sunday drive!

Mayor Lim banned computer games during class hours

Ipinagbawal na ni Mayor Lim ng Manila ang paglaro ng computer games sa mga internet cafe or computer shops sa paligid ng mga iskwelahan sa mga oras ng klase (school hours) which is from 7am to 6pm.

Siguradong pababantayan ni Mayor Lim ang mga internet cafe na ito para makasiguro na tutupad ang mga ito sa bagong regulasyon.  Syempre maraming nahihinayang na mga shop dahil malaking inihina ng kanilang kita dahil nga nabawasan ang kanilang kliyente.

Sa tingin ko nga naman importante rin itong ginawa na Mayor Lim para sa mga estudyante. Malaking ginhawa naman sa mga magulang dahil mababawasan ang pag-aalala nila na nauubos ang oras ng kanilang mga anak sa computer games.  Tigas na kasi ng mga ulo ng mga kabataan ngayon o mahina na rin siguro ang pagpalo o paninindak ng isang magulang sa anak kaya’t hindi na makuha sa paliwanag.  Ewan ko..basta ang alam ko yung mga junakis ko nandoon sa itaas at nag-lalaro ng World of Warcraft ba yun?  warcraft-clock-reign-of-chaos.gif

Batang Iwahig 1966 b&w movie

I had a chance to watch this movie after it has been sitting in my dvr for a few weeks.  Sayang nga lang at degraded na ang sound quality pero nag-enjoy pa rin akong panoorin kahit paputol-putol ang aking viewing.  Joseph Estrada & the young Vilma Santos at syempre ang paboritong kontrabidang si Paquito Diaz.  Oks naman.  The story circles around Joseph na nakulong sa munti at dahil sa good behavior na napadala sa Iwahig Penal Colony sa may Palawan.  Syempre pag galing ka sa ob-lo may basag ka na like “batang-munti” or “batang-city jail” so in this case “Batang Iwahig”

Ang masaklap lang dito sa istorya ng movie e yung last part. Pinag-aawayan nila yung pera na pinitik nila. 6 ata silang kawatan, 4 ang patay, dalawa na lang silang magpaparte. Kaso yung pera sa bandang huli ng movie…..

Family Site

Have been buzy setting up a family website.  Trying to see if phpbb is better than smf but I think for me I would go with smf. It has more features that I got used to.  Don’t want to go with phpbb then later on it will turn out to be very limited.

Have installed the coppermine gallery too.
