Can I say that 2009 started well? Somehow knowing that one is going to "retires" from the company doesn't bode well. How can I explain my slacking at work for those many months?
Anyway, I learned from colleagues what FB is and how to be a virtual farmer, virtual ghost buster, mouse trapper and a darn good fisherman! It helps in putting some excitement in the job, flicking my cursor from report writing to harvesting juicy pumpkins or catching Casper in some old musty castle in England.
And so, I whiled away 9 months in some kind of limbo at work. Stranger still when management said I was not performing, hence no salary increment, but I received a big bonus. Hey, who am I to complain? Just said thank you for their generosity, right?
After a few months of impromptu meetings, suspense, feet-dragging, fight-for-your-rights incidences, I was dismissed. Praise God, for the provision in the form of VSS. It helps to settle my mortgages and now I found myself in the Land Downunder.
To go into details would probably requires that I begin with another blog, another story. Suffice to say that I think I should begin to tell my tales from now henceforth. Should I recall some incidences of the past worth mentioning later, I may give it some room in this blog.
I also think a story should not be restricted to dates of entry or in chronological order of happenings. It is after all, a kind of diary to record my thoughts . Who knows, as they say, my two-cents worth of grey-cells-exercise may entertain someone out there...
