Cut it out!

Our telephone access in the office is limited to local landline calls and on-net cell phone calls. This means that if our broadband subscriber is not using our network’s cell phone service, we need to use our dedicated service unit to call the subscriber. You need to log the some details in a notebook so when I got hold of it, I laughed because  a line in notebook is perforated and it appeared that someone has used a box cutter to draw it. Looney!

My driver husband

The nature of business of my husband and his family is construction supplies and selling of heavy equipments. Right now, they only have two company vehicles because they are yet to expand. During our night conversations, my husband is telling me that managing the
Vehicle Reimbursement in terms of gasoline expense, toll tickets, and vehicle repair is not that easy. Moreover, if there are some unexpected loss of construction materials in the process of bringing it to the buyers. That is why, most of the times, when it comes to bigger and more expensive items, it is my husband who personally drive and becomes the delivery man. He said that it is the only way to make sure that nothing will go wrong or if in case there are circumstances beyond his control, no one is to be blamed but him. Their company is growing and time will come that they need to hire mobile employees. I wanted to support my husband in my own little way so I searched the internet about vehicle reimbursement. I found CRS! It provides vehicle reimbursement programs. I think that my father in law should check this out. The programs here would benefit not only the employer but also the hardworking employees. After all, a business would not run on its own. It is always a relationship that is why for any business decision or move, the welfare of the employee should always be taken into consideration.

Drowned

With the adaptation of a new system, our company holds 4-day training session for all the frontliners. That includes our group. And this means that we are down by three people every week until all are done with the training. And this means (again) that we are swamped by work and no matter how long we stayed in the office our backlogs keep on piling up. We only get up from our seats when we need to use the John. I wonder if we could request for adult diapers from out boss.

Seriously hilarious

My Dad and I went out for my job-hunting day. It was my job interview which is informal by the way, but it appeared that my Dad was the one having an interview. He kept on talking about politics which is the one that inspired the Nigerian interviewer. When we arrived at home, he asked me what disease causes jerking and he did it acting out. I was laughing at him and said, uhm…epilepsy? Then he said, “you should get to know some good cerebral palsy lawyers you know.”

Sit back,watch and relax

I would love to have that home theater seating in our entertainment area. I think that would be a great Christmas gift. I would ask my husband to give that to me. It is relaxing to sit on that while watching our favorite film at the comfort of our own home. I better search for it online now and see what is best. I hope there are promotions right now for discounted prices.

Tiger look

The custodian of our office supplies is right for his job. He makes sure that everything is accounted for. He has the list of those who were already given pens, notebooks, markers, pencils and other materials. He is also conscious on how much we consume bond papers. It is funny because most of the time, the pens that he gave to us disappear from our desks thus we would ask for it again. Oh, you should see his wrinkled forehead and tiger look.

Beauty regimen

My husband is thinking of going to the dermatologist again for some bouts of acne treatments. He saw his picture with our daughter wherein he and she were face to face. He is afraid that he might transfer the acne to our baby. My hubby’s acne has been bothering him for quite a long time now. However, he has not been religiously following a beauty regimen of medications and proper diet. Maybe he will be strict with it this time.

Breakaway

Now that I am done with the body shots, it’s about time for me to get some R & R. I wanna get some holiday breakaway…alone!

After so many months of hibernation I am planning to go to the suburbs or beach perhaps. I need some pampering and I need to get accomodation fromMykonos villa rentals . I heard the packages are great and easy on the budget. A full body massage, a very good sleep and a relxaing environment. I feel all set.

Techno fashion

I am drooling over the laptop mini featured at our local TV morning show a while ago. I wonder how much it would cost. So I headed over the internet and looked at Laptop computers. Look what I have found! The HP Presario V2300 Sempron. You know what attracted me to this product? You could purchase this for as low as $168. It is an amazing deal, is it not? I will tell my friends about it. They might be thinking of buying one already since it is the in thing nowadays. When you have a laptop, it means you are fashionable! Really now! 

Seriously speaking, I am meticulous when buying a gadget. I look for the specifications and compare prices. That is why, I am very happy to have found Shopwiki! Yes, just like the wikipedia, it is a source of information for your shopping needs. It features many stores for you to choose where to get the product or item you need. You are the winner when you use Shopwiki because you will get the best items at the best prices!

Bold decision

My friend and I are thinking about putting our own business. A bold decision, you might think. This will serve as a fall back or might even be our main source of income in the future. We will not grow old in the corporate world, as competition gets stiff. Fresh faces always come in and anybody is replaceable.

Since we are infants in the business industry, we might consult a Branding Agency to help us. We do not want our hard earned money be put to waste. It is sensible to invest in something that would yield positive results. After all, we would like to get BIG. Our decisions should benefit long-term goals.

What are we going to sell? A product or a service? Who will be our target market? What is the image that we would like to project? Are we going to do it online too? All of these questions could be answered by a branding agency. They will be responsible for the identity of our future business. Brand Identity Guru is the trusted name for this. They will help you with the brand roll out, print designs, and even a logo! It is like hiring a whole marketing staff. A complete package will make you reach the top.
