Bonus

Besides Christmas, the other thing all fellow corporate slaves look forward to at the end of the year is bonus. How many months bonus are u expecting? What's the maximum and minimum have u gotten?

Where I work, they pay a pathetic average half months nia. This excludes one month contractual bonus. Like they say, Tiuniasing!

Merry Christmas

I know Christmas is over and done. But what the heck!? Merry Christmas anyway!!! It's better late than never. My PC is still being raped by Dilbert. Apparently, it's the mutha freakin motherboard that is causing all the shit not the power supply as suspected initially.

Anyway... hope yall had a nice Christmas like Kenny and 5X. And while I am at this, I might as well wish every one here Happy New Year 2006 and Gong Xi Fa Cai too. Who knows when my konkek PC can recover.

Komputer rosak lagi

Alamak! Komputer peribadi ku dah rosak lagi. Kali ini power supply dah koyak! Langsung tak boleh start lepas tiga hari tarak start. Insya Allah dapat cari spare part baru untuk ganti power supply ini!

Semoga tuan-tuan dan puan-puan dapat memahami situasi yang sedemikian. Segala inconvenience amat dikesali. Harap maklum.

Travelling

I will be in Hong Kong on 13th Dec. No, I won't be spending Christmas there. No Disneyland this trip. I won't be attending the 6th WTO Conference either. Hope the protesters will be gentle during the meet.

I will be there to have my own conference with these guys.

Arinus Bubu - revisit

Remember my African scammer friends. I blogged about a few of them sometime in March and April this year. Remember Mr Arinus Bubu?

While going thru some of my earlier emails, I noticed some mails from my African friends still lying in my inbox. I decided to see if one of them still reads his email. I shoot one mail to him. It reads...

Hello Mr.Kia,

Thanks for your mail despite our long break in communications.Basically, I
am still interested in forging ahead with you as long as you are still
willing to assist me over this matter.

The main issue is that the consignment is busy accumulating more
charges which has to be paid unfailingly before the consignment be release.
Again, I still want you to reconfirm your phone number for me and tel;l
me about your capability of handling this matter this time around which
involved your coming to South Africa for this transaction.
Hope to hear from you.

Regards
Mr.Bubu

Wow! Looks like scamming is still his periuk nasi. Anybody care to suggest what you want me to reply.

If u think I have too much free time, then you r wrong. How long does it take u to type a short email? 3 minutes?

Customer care

I encountered a bad "customer care" experience today via email. There is this chap who doesn't know how to deal with the customers. He's incompetent and he should resign.

To that incompetent "customer care" guy... if you are reading this, I am sorry to say that Customer Service is not your area. You should just quit! I wonder how you ended up in customer service ... Boo!
