cuplikan e-mail dari mailing list

seorang teman memberikan topik tentang perkembangan teknologi dan pengaruhnya bagi aspek-aspek kehidupan di dalam masyarakat

menggelitik otak juga, jadi gw send reply :

selain menyiapkan teknologi, budaya dari pemakaian teknologi itu sendiri juga harus dipersiapkan tentunya. melihat ke dalam negeri sendiri? waduh bingung mau ketawa apa nangis hehehe...

teknologi lama yang sampe sekarang etika pemakaiannya masih acak adut : tangga jalan. masih bingung ngeliat orang yang naik tangga jalan tapi diri di tengah... etika pemakaian tangga jalan kalo emang mau santai ya diri di sebelah kiri, sisakan ruang lowong di sebelah kanan untuk orang yang sedang buru-buru naik. hal sederhana seperti ini aja sebenarnya, tapi masih belom kepikiran

satu lagi : lift. lagi naik lift mau keluar, di luar udah banyak orang ngegerombol di depan pintu maksa masuk... makin sedih hehehe... etikanya ya minggir dulu, biar yang di dalem keluar dulu semua, baru yang di luar masuk. lift bukan metromini yang bakal ninggalin penumpangnya kok hehehehe

atau yang terbaru, blackberry. logikanya adalah alat ini memungkinkan penggunanya untuk bisa dihubungi lewat e-mail 24 jam penuh. tapi ya masih ada aja yang make cuma buat pesbukan heheheh...  gw sendiri merasa belom jadi international- quality executive sampe harus mampu bales e-mail kerjaan 24 jam penuh. kalopun udah perlu, gw bakal minta perusahaan yang bayarin blackberry gw hehehe

An Ode To My Ex-Bosses

It's been more than 6 months since my Elephant days. I do miss them a lot. They are a generous employer. They have known to be the highest-paying business around the block. Great working atmosphere, you get to experience working with people coming from all around the world. Now I know how it feels to be a "citizen of the world". The best thing for me was the bosses. Unlike the typical boss figure that has been stereotyped here, they are truly a different kind of beast. 

The owner, Robert Trench, he's your typical witty and sarcastic Scottish. He's old and he's been around I can tell, but that didn't make him arrogant. A really good bloke he is. No matter how busy he is, when he walks past any of his employees, he always greet them cheerfully. He knows how to make his employees feel comfortable working there. He knows how to make us laugh when we were tired while having our staffies.

The manager, Ian Todd, a real Aussie bloke. He must had wished that his parents would name him Jack Daniels instead of Ian Todd. Sounds like a common Aussie to you eh? He had this straightforward in-your-face attitude that makes him likable. He doesn't really like to make jokes, but his Aussie root makes him a witty person, and that's why everyone love Ian. He is very protective of his employees. I always remember one of his "wise words" regarding some of the employees that were being abused verbally by the customers, "YOU DON'T GET PAID HERE TO BE ABUSED BY THE CUSTOMERS, YOU ARE GETTING PAID TO BE ABUSED BY US!" Basically he wants us to report any abuse done by the customers to him and let him deal with it. He loves to handle rough punters and he's an eternal Manchester United fan (I can tell by his tatts), he's forever good in my book.

people who live in danger

Some people like it being in a dangerous situation, not because they're a descendant of Steve Irwin, hell I don't even know their reasons.

I consider myself as one. Not the death-defying one, but more of a person who can't stand of routines. To woke up in the morning, leave the house before 6, dwell in the traffic maze, arrive at the office, having a coffee, and so on....
