Welcome to my rat hole! That's how i call my office, well generally my work. Its a rathole in there, literally its kinda dark because i installed dimmers i don't like working in too dark spaces my eyes hurts staring in the light reflections in my screen. Let may give you a tour... lets start with the emblem at my back, thats the name of the firm i work for, JACTS, well its the initials of the partners who owns it, then the huge chinese chartacter, that means LUCK..we always hope for a good luck...next, at the back of my office chair in the left corners is some ecorative plants, well thats plastic but looks so real, i dont know where the interior designer got that..below the flower arrangement is a pic of someone (dont really wanna talk about now, anyways this pic was taken during our brighter days, but when this blog is published its still there, i guess will always be there)...next, is those stacks of paper well those are billing and payroll reports from the stores we manage, all are arranged on which is which is to be done first...as you can see its along line.you have to finish the whole parade of reports by 6pm...and then in the right side is thermal tumbler, in the morning that contains ice water to perk me up/ or vit water...and in the afternoon 'taho'...the black door like thing in the wall besie the thermal tumbler is a vault or a secret door...joke!its a vault..and then my office chair, bought it in dimensione...its nice..it doesnt give me a dreaded back ache..then my office table..well that laptop is the main event there!lol...thats my main work horse...if the hard drive of that thing goes down, i dont know what will happen thats why now i bought a back-up storage disk just in case....i have three other work horses, and usually by the end of the day there are four laptops on that desk...2 asus, 1macair and thats a toshiba...my mac usually does all the facebooking...next are the telephone (which i hated so much when it rings, i really dont like taking calls, if you need something (official business) you can tell cathy, and if its personal you can always sms me or message me here in my blog or in my facebook wall, i wont mind...; and then a bottle of water whichi is ever present and memo pads, stick-ons, notes, staplers, scissors,etc....I like my desk free from mountains of papers, the less papers i see in my table the better i could think....
my day in this rathole if im just from house usually starts at 7 or the latest 7:30...or if im from anywhere i always make sure that i land in my office char before 9..i dont like to be late..i wanna be the first to be there...i feel grumpy if Im late...Mornings here will always be a series of meetings, transmittal flying everywhere, client meet-ups, reports, and presentations. Lunch break, well i decide my lunchbreak time, i usually have mine around 11:30 to 1:00, or depends really on how much time my work load permits., or sometimes we eat in the middle of meetings.since april, our pace here really accelerated like shit!..lol..Afternoons, there we wrestle with rims after rims of papers to do..in alternate with presentations and meetings...it will be a very lucky day if we exit the door by 5pm (never did happen), the earliest i was out was 6pm... :)
i really dont like talking about my work..its really boring and somehow mutantific, and besides who wanna reveal what are the top secret developments of brands...in this rat hole, many ideas where born..some never really reached the door out and landed on that steel trashbin below my desk but some landed in your homes,the paper you read in the morning, in the glossy pages and when you turn on your TV and radio...this is the rat hole too where most business problems are solvedan many stores are born...this rathole is somehow a blackhole of ideas and just everything you can think of...Everyday i live on my toes. I live and run around just to make a living. Sometimes people think its easy out here, but i tell you everyone here has an ulcer,eating and sleeping disorder and most of us has panic distress thing!lol...
This is my life, the life that i always kept behind me. I may look ratty at times but i live for this, i never lived for glamor, honor, recognition or lux...im just living my life...and its the life that was given to me...i cant do anything about it but be grateful for it... :)
