How to get rich real fast

Back in January, a couple of my friends were very sad, including a FUBU. Some complained, no bonus. Others - one month's bonus. No salary increment. Or increment of RM 50 only. Haiz. The list goes on and on.

To me, it is dead simple. If you wanna get rich - you must know what to do. And you can do it real fast. Working for someone (employment) is great for:
  1. Experience
  2. Low risk - sure salary
  3. Someone who is working to past time, no stress, no worries about money.
No where in the list, employment will make one rich. Get real.

Now, here are some really quick get rich stories:
  1. Start a business - many have made it.
  2. Start your own business. But first, identify your strengths and weaknesses. Capitalize on it.
  3. One chap does pasar malam work after full time employment. He gets RM 3500 nett nett. He didn't get any bonus - because he is always half asleep at work. But that's OK to him - after all, the best employee only got a month's bonus. From his pasar malam, it's about RM42 000 per annum. No one will pay that kind of bonus.
  4. Invest smartly. Australian interest rates are sky high; plus forex gains. No doubt - forex investments are risky.
But, if you think pasar malam is too tiring for you, or no time to do online business, or forex is too risky - please just stick to your regular employment. For guys - please don't complain when you don't get your bonus and increment. For pretty gals, if you feel sad - give me a call. I will give you a good time and make you forget your troubles. Hahaha.

Out on my own

It has been 9 months since I have started my own business and I am really struggling now. Cash flow has hit rock bottom. I have less than RM 200 in my bank account, owing my house loan RM 2100, RM 3000 credit cards, need another pair of glasses, owing an insurance policy RM 1200 and my passport is about to expire. Which means, I will have difficulties skipping the country.

It is never easy to start out, I know that. For my case, it was pushed than jumped. A couple of projects in the pipeline and I sure hope the pipe isn't too long. I need to see some results fast. Else, I will continue to owe the bank money.

I must admit it is not a bad thing to be broke. It teaches me a lot. For one, I know how it feels for those poor family with a nett income of RM 1500 per month and they have 3 or 4 kids to feed. It must even be more difficult for them. How can they make ends meet? Or do they still have to continue to 'change their lifestyle', as suggested by some high earning and probably corrupt ministers?

I have also learn more on how to manage with the little I have. What's the cheapest and most efficient way to get things done. In short, it makes me think harder. Makes me work harder and learn more.

Let's see what happens. Too bad this blog isn't making me any money. Maybe it is time to market my ass, but I doubt if it has any takers. Any offers? Going cheap.... perhaps RM 2 per kilo.

Situation Normal?

Well, well, a quick update. I have been out on my own for 6 months. Not much income. One big project for Nible2 has stopped dead in its tracks. Nible2 ran out of money. More so, Nible2 started firing some staff, so the rest of the rats have jumped ship. Situation is bad. No money in Nible2, no manpower either.

Yours truly is stuck here. Without income. Did rent out two rooms in my house, but that's hardly enough to cover expenditure. Times are hard. Must find more ways to get income. Anyone interested in a toyboy? Hahaha.

Did a Wally, Again!

I did a Wally again. It has been about a year since I leave Nible2 and you guess it right, I have been hired back to be their Consultant. One-year's salary in three months. And the work is actually done by someone else. Wahaha (evil Catbert laugh)! Not too bad at all. Good thing I left Nible2. Otherwise, I would still be stuck on a small expired packet of peanuts at the end of every month.

Position Vacant

By position, I am not referring to a sexual one, albeit that position is vacant too, for the time being. That's for another blog entry.

Trying to hire an assistant and trust me, it is extremely difficult to hire. Firstly, with all the internet and websites for jobs, applicants just apply for any darn job they see, without any consideration. In short, the employers (me in this case) gets a whole load of garbage. I have technicians applying for the position of Sales Managers. What the heck. Unsure if they can sell at all, to begin with. They sure did not sell themselves to me very well - in the sense of selling their resume to me.

Then, there is the whole bunch with names all typed in lower-case alphabets. Sorry, but I would hate to hire someone who cannot even get their own names correct in a resume. Some just have a terrible command of English. Others change jobs in about 10 months. Fresh graduates are asking for RM 3500 per month. Gosh. For fresh graduates, it going rate is only RM 1800, depending on field that is. Some ask for huge sales commissions. I usual ask them for some penalty if they fail to hit the target. Imagine, asking for RM 3500 per month and a huge commission. What the eff.

When I call them, endless bozos (both males and females) would ask "Where is your office?" The first thing on their mind is location. Hell, I remember my interview with Motorola Penang. The HR Director asked me if relocation is a problem. I laughed and told him, if the package is right, I would bloody report for work the next morning! In other words, screw the location. The overall package is important. If it is just location, try the Pizza Hut or McD in your neighbourhood. They have jobs too. Just remember to ask "Do you want fries with that."

It's never easy to hire someone good. Miss the old staff I hired in Nible2. Took me 6 months to get them, and they were great. In case you are wondering, yes, Motorola Penang did make me an offer. Alas, it wasn't good enough.

Wally No More

Sadly, I can no longer be a Wally. Darn busy with work nowadays and with a shitty economy, I really have to get my ask moving. Before someone moves it for me. Don't get me wrong - I do work hard, but at any one time, I prefer to work smart. It's a fine line, but hey - why work too hard.

Been dating a pretty gal - let's call her M. Nice gal, very very sexy body and yeah - I hope to have a long term gf. Random fun is fun, but at times, something long term is good. Let's see what happens. It is sure damn hard to get a gf nowadays. Half the gals I know expect their future husbands to provide them with a RM 5000 allowance per month. That's almost my entire paycheck. Damn - some would want the money and it's fine if their hubby strays, as long as there is money in the bank. Sign of times. Other gals are already married to their work.

So hard to find someone who wants to be in a relationship. That goes for both guys and gals. Some guys want to play. Others, married to their work. Some want their dream cars. To me, I rather save some money, build a good home (mind you, not a house), and have enough to retire. Not too much to ask for right?

The grass is greener

How's my new job, I hear a lot of friends asking. Well, a Mr. Yoong puts it the best. The grass is greener on the other side, but it is also harder to swallow.

It is a new industry for me, so, there is hell a lot to learn. I am use to the international business scene - domestic is a new creature to me. New bosses have a high expectation, which isn't good - because it means I can no longer be Wally.

To make things worse, there is these new culture shock. The shock of switching from XP to Vista. I still think XP is better. Vista is really Windows for idiots (aren't we all idiots when we use Windows). Great for my grandmother but hey, for the engineers, etc - this is an insult to our intelligence. I still believe in good old UNIX / LINUX.

Then, I have the shock of using Office 2007. A very over-rated type-writer. Page break is in one tab. Section break is another. What the eff. The bloody page number is a nuisance. You can never get it to number pages you want - it just numbers it for idiots. (You try counting down from iii, ii, i - then Page 1!). The damn thing doesn't do it. Page 1 must always be the first sheet. Ok - now they allow the second sheet to be Page 1 - by starting count with Page 0. But guess what - the last page will be Page 9 out of 10 - coz, it starts counting from 0, but the total pages is actually total sheets. Bloody idiots.

Compounded with the culture of the small workplace - e.g. "one leg kick" aka doing everything on my own, it sure takes some adjusting. There is also the new software X1 (cool searching tool), Mozilla (tonnes better than IE), Googles Doc (hate to say it, but I prefer Office! Then again, I think LATEX is the best), and Google Mail. You know, Google Mail is just plain silly. You cannot delay a single email. Say, I have this long thread of business email. Then, I get some returned mail (wrong email add, etc) - and I just cannot delete those returned email. Who the heck wants some junk to polute a otherwise perfect thread of emails? Buggers me.

OK - enough of bitching. It's the weekend and generally, I am enjoying it. Will be meeting up with H tomorrow. Yummy!

Farewell Nible2

Oh, and long last, I have left Nible2 with a heavy heart. The last day was last Tuesday, and yes, this is now Day 2 into my new job. For the past few weeks, there have been way too many farewell lunch and dinners. Putting on weight and not going to the gym often enough. Sure do miss my pals at Nible2. Cannot say I miss the problems!

Many have asked. How's my new job. Well, it is way too early to tell, but I do foresee tonnes of work to be done. It is not unusual for marketing to be lagging when the place is filled with engineers. It's just like all the Beckhams in a football team, but no goal keeper. Guess a team must just be balanced. Sure, we would love all-rounders, but really, I don't think such a person exists. All have our strengths and weaknesses.

The place is sure closer to home, but I am burning more petrol due to the traffic conditions. Bummer. Toll is slightly less.

Oh, colleagues, they are OK. One warning light though... most of them speak Mandarin. I will be able to work with them, but won't be great friends. More importantly, I sure as heck hope they don't have the china-man attitude. That would pretty much bugger me. Hahaha.

Enough about work. More later....

A long farewell

Haven't been updating this blog on what I have been up to. Basically, I am just enjoying my farewell. Perhaps enjoying it a little too much. I have daily farewell lunches and at times, even dinners. All in all, I have been eating way too much and not showing up in the gym. Needless to say, that's not good for the waistline. As always, I will worry about that later.

Spent the weekend with my friend visiting from Melaka. Did some shopping but all it all, nothing special. H has been extremely busy lately, I hardly hear from her. Time to get a new fb, and I don't mean Facebook.

Coming weekend will be interesting too. Another friend from Singapore will be visiting. Will spend Sunday night with her. As for Raya, I have no idea what will happen. Still in the planning stage. Might drop by JB to meet up a gal I have been having cyber-sex with. She's really hot online!

Nible2

Alas, I have resigned from Nible2. P is happy to see me leave, the HR manager. I am happy to leave. Many have asked, "why are you leaving"? Is it of Madam C? Is it because you are sad?

Hell no. Let's be professional about it. The only reason I am leaving is because I have a better offer. A much better offer. Don't just leave a place for the sake of it. Firstly, I have a 30% pay increase, and the workplace is closer to home. More importantly, the working hours are shorter. Management appears to be good. I use the word appear because I have yet to start working with them. And the potential is heaps better. They are making a margin of about 40%, with profit in the millions. That's certainly heck a lot more profit that Nible2. Don't mention about the potential to grow. With ex-Gratia bonus as well as profit sharing, I stand to double my income.

Madam C and P has decided to make my life miserable. Leave has been declined while I have been asked to work like a security guard, more or less. What I could not understand is, they did not even bother to ask me where I am heading. My employment clause prevents me from working with a competitor. You know what's sweet revenge?

It's working as a consultant, for a key customer! Imagine, I work for their key customer, say the Government of Malaysia. One fine day, when they are tendering for a big project... hahaha... yours truly comes along and gives Nible2 a big smile. I won't say any more now, but you get the idea... wink wink!

Lazy me... Goodbye to Nible2

Well, I have not been posting for some time, more so due to laziness than the lack of time.

First update. I've finally resigned from Nible2. I got a better offer from a very small company. I have no idea how things will turn out, but there is only one way to find out, that is to give it a try. It offers both profit sharing and equity participation. Nice - something which I have been looking for.

It has never been an easy decision to leave Nible2. Whatever it is, Nible2 has been a great place to learn. I have learn a lot while serving Nible2, everything from product management to marketing to operations. The most valuable is to be able to travel worldwide and make friends in many places.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. To best describe the situation is the song "Better in Time" by Leona Lewis. Yes, it will hurt. Yes, I will miss it despite the mess and the daily snafus. It will be a long and hard goodbye.

It's the weekend...

Well, it is the weekend again. Almost - in a few more hours. I am almost bored to death in the office now, with much to do, but no motivation at all to do it. Worse still, I have no plans for the weekend. H is darn busy. A couple of other gals are not free either. Heck, even a cross-dresser from AFF is busy.

It may not be a bad thing after all, coz I am low on money. Yes, I just got my paycheck, but the devils in credit cards are causing some duress. The insurance, my wisdom tooth and a few other expenditures hit me hard. Not to mention even a daily chore of getting to work costs more now.

Oh, news of the month. AC has resigned before she got confirmed. I just heard a rumour that she started off as a PA for some Director, and managed to move up the ladder. What has she done for Nible2? She did spend all the money, no visible improvements. Didn't do anything else.

Now for the joke of the day. AC's car was clamped a few days ago. Guess what's her reaction? She called the CFO to tell the CFO that her car got clamped. What the efff? I wonder what exactly did she expect the CFO to do. Casually, the CFO asked her to call the evil HR Director. Strange isn't it? Did she expect the CFO to pay for her fine?

Anyway, with AC gone, this place is sure empty. It is already non-functional. Even the rats are jumping ship. Time to get on with more "Dear Sirs..."

Education Malaysia?

Education system in Malaysia is really rotten. I don't mean the current system. I mean the system when I was in back in 1986 till 1995. What got me started rambling about this is when I was in Sri Lanka, so many of my friends told me... "Wow, India must be terrible".

Hang on, for the last 60 years or so, Sri Lanka has been a independent country. It is not part of India. Sure, it is next to India, or Tamil Naidu to be precise, but hey, where on earth did they learn their history or geography?

It says a lot about modern life style. Firstly, the education system is bad. And it is made worse by modern society (read parents). Everyone wants to score well for exams. Heck, the purpose of school is to learn, not to score. What's wrong with these people. So the end results - no clue about Sri Lanka. Engineers without a clue what a LC circuit is. Mind you, that's an electrical engineer.

In the long term, this will result in people hating their jobs and taking it out on their family. I don't often meet people who are passion with what they do. As much as I dislike the management of Nible2, I am passionate about my job. I seldom go, oh crap, back to work. It would be like "Oh crap, no job satisfaction".

It is time the younger generations do things for the right reasons, for the right purpose. I am quite certain this is not the case only in Malaysia but worldwide. What are your opinion on this?

Time Travel


I just got back from Sri Lanka, in one piece. Yes, the security situation there is somewhat bad - it is like re-living in a page of the history books of the Malayan Emergency. The place certainly look like the British has just left recently.



This is a picture of a very old steam-roller. Hmmm. I've never seen it before. Wonder if it still works.



In Malaysia, things have moved forward so much. Is Sri Lanka nice? Yes, I would say it is. Malaysia is way too developed now. Hardly any green areas left. The politicians are too busy lining their own pockets, destroying history in the name of progress. Why can't they keep buildings by the British? That's character to the place. But heck no, building code in Malaysia seems to dictate that all old buildings must be replace buy uglier new ones.

Heck no, there was no action at all in Sri Lanka. Only action were that of military. The place is rather miserable. Shops begin to close at about 5pm and by 7pm, Colombo is a deserted town.

I received a rude shock when I arrived. On the way to the hotel from the airport, I noticed the driver was driving in the middle of the road, literally. So, I asked him why. The reply a very sobering "Roadside bombs, sir". As I sank deeper into the seat, I wished I did not ask. As X Files says "You cannot handle the truth".

No longer a common sight are mobile ice-cream vendors. Maybe still one or two more in smaller towns in Malaysia, but certainly not seen in Kuala Lumpur. Reminds me when I was a kid.



The conversation over lunch on Monday nearly had me choking on my tender and juicy piece of meat. I'm not referring to a pretty gal, but to some Australian Angus beef. And the topic during lunch? "How come there were no bombs this morning". The locals were wondering why hasn't the Tamil Tigers bombed a police station or the public transport. Apparently, the bombs are usually on Mondays and Fridays. Looks like the Tamil Tigers have a better SOP than Nible2.

I prefer Indian food to Sinhalese food. Pharmaceutical drugs are cheaper in India than in Sri Lanka. In any case, I bought some Cupid 50 (equivalent of Viagra) for about RM3 per tablet - that's less than USD 1 per tablet. Oh, more on Viagra later.


I did a double-take when I first say the letter boxes there. Yup, that's GR - from the era of King George V. I have never seen those before. No ER II emblems because Sri Lanka gained independence (according to my tour guide) before Queen Elizabeth II's reign.










The Elephant Orphanage was fun. This place is between Colombo and Kandy. I did some touring on Saturday, after being informed that it was safer to be outside Colombo. Believe it or not, it was a business trip and not a holiday. But it sure sounds like a holiday.

Anyway, back to the Elephant Orphanage - there are actually only 3 or 4 orphaned elephants there. The rest of the elephants? Oh well, it could be called a resort. Interesting especially when we get to pat the elephants.


Visited another temple in Kandy - the Tooth Relic. It is said that this temple contains a tooth from Buddha. The tooth is said to be collected from the cremation pyre.

The place was very serene and yes, I did enjoy visiting the temples. Only concern was, this place was bombed by the Tamil Tigers back in 1993, if I remember correctly. Heck, all my office colleagues told me that they only targeted public transport. So much for local input!


I did buy a lot of tea - it was cheap and yes, they are good. Got myself a white sapphire, but it appears I have dropped it in less than 72 hours after buying it. Haiz. Guess precious stones are not the thing for me. Good thing it wasn't a diamond or a gift for a loved one.

Stayed in Hilton JAIC Towers. They are service apartments, but like a hotel in many ways. My suite was USD 105 per nite, and it had three bedrooms. It was a little too big for my liking - especially when I am alone. Can be scary at night. One morning, when I got up, I released that my bedroom door was slightly ajar. I was pretty sure I locked it the night before. Anyway, I rather believe I have a bad memory than the other alternatives - someone came in, or there is ghost after all. I rather live with bad memory. May not be able to handle the truth.

With such a nice hotel, I only wish H was with me ... to enjoy some intimate moments together. Gosh, I do miss travelling with her.

All in all, I did enjoy myself in Sri Lanka. It was dangerous but exciting. It was like a page out of the history book - but hey, that's the "Good Old Days" everyone is talking about. I sure hope to return to Sri Lanka again.

Off to Colombo

After being in the freezer for sometime, I am off to Colombo next week for business. Or so called business trip. The local partners there have yet to even call me, but what the heck, I've decided to at least relax in a nice hotel. The only risk is the civil war which has intensified lately. Then again, if one's time is up, it's up.

Work aside, I've had a good time with H. She was free. Oh boy, after such a long time not 'doing' her, it was so nice to have her in my bed moaning and clutching me. Oh yes, I also miss her oral skills very much. She's great. And now, I miss her again.

Surprising, I got a message from a AFF member, just turned 17. I've actually given up on my AFF account. It attracted mostly working gals. Not what I have in mind. This 17 year old, let's call her Cat - needed money urgently. She said she was willing to do a deal - one whole night for Rm 400. Haiz. More gals asking for money. I have declined the deal, but I do feel sorry for her. She says that she doesn't have a place to stay, is almost out of money and to top it all, is pregnant. Well, I am not about to just dish out money like that, but yes, I do feel sorry for her.

In any case, I will be busy packing up for my trip. Lately, I'v been busy doing some reading, stocking up on engine oil, planting vegetables (oh, not cucumbers or bananas!) and doing some research on pest. The latest experiment is to kill ants with artificial sweetener. Doesn't appear to be working yet, but I will keep all posted.

A long absence

A number of things to update, but all in all, nothing much to shout about. The progress to find a fuck buddy has been halted. No, I still have interest to get a fuck buddy, but most of the response I receive would be from prostitutes or someone looking for a husband. Something in between appears to be difficult.

Working life can be summarized by one word only - Wally. I've been demoted to an executive, with the job scope of a acting Head of Department. Go figure. Firstly, those bozos do not want to pay me for what's worth. The sight the lack of experience but I am now handling tenders which totals up to a billion ringgit without exageration. A bunch of idiots. If they don't trusts someone, they really should just get rid of him or her. So, Nible2 management comes up with some half baked stories, denied me a pay raise and but awards me with more work. Needless to say, I am a first class Wally by now.

I could understand perfectly well why AC has decided to exile me. Heck, when I was pratically heading marketing, I got rid of all the corrupt vendors. Imagine, UPs could still delivery T-shirts with the wrong logo, after being our vendor for the last 10 years. But due to many personal vested interest, my move did not fare well with many. AC was smart. All the idiots were enlisted again. And yes, she went on to appoint some of her mates as vendors. Better still, she blew the year's budget within three months. Ah, well done.

Yes, I am completely demotivated to work for Nible2. I am actively job hunting and playing Facebook games. Am I sad? Heck, of course not. It is just business after all.

Success

I had an interesting after lunch conversation with a friend, Y. Y was commenting that there was a lot of work to be done in the office and she needed to start working late. She also mentioned that another friend of her was working way too late till there was no time to go to the gym.

Which is when I started posing her a simple question. Why work so hard? After all, work is work. I mean, it should be an honest day's wage for an honest day's work. No more, no less. Sure, by all means, work darn hard from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. But why work late everyday? Working late once a while to complete some urgent and important work is fine. But daily? Something is terribly wrong.

After much thought, Y finally answered "For success and fame". Something was even more wrong with the answer. Let's study it for a moment.

If success means money - hmmm. Have you ever heard of a cubicle worker getting rich? I don't think so. You seen a cubicle worker getting enough money to even get by? Hardly. Same with fame. Any famous cubicle workers? Heck, even William Hung did not get famous by sitting in a cubicle. He had to perform for it.
So, it wasn't really success. She changed her answer to dedication and responsibility. I went on to ask her, what's the definition of dedication / responsibility? Let's look at the bigger picture. What about responsible as a pillow owner, I asked. I mean, heck, we all do own pillows. We have to accompany them at night, slept on them, hug them. So, by working till 2am daily, we are neglecting our duty as a pillow owner. Sounds funny, I know. What if the pillow in question was really your boyfriend? Or girlfriend? Or mother? Or father? Or perhaps, even all of it? Does anyone want to be responsible mother?

Personal successes are also important. "I manage to stay fit". "I lost 10 pounds" (which is my dream for the moment). Why neglect gym? Why neglect sleep? Why not a good laugh in the cinema?

And even with success at work, why not put a timeline to things? I am sure a lot of us, Y included, were very successful during days in university. But do remember. As well as we do for exams, we had 3 hours, or 2 hours, to complete the paper and hand it in. So, why can't we do the same for work? Allocate a reasonable amount of time, complete what we can, and hand it in?

And the most important thing is, why can't we have fun while working? Why does one hate work so much? Go do something else. As much as I complain about Nible2, I enjoy my work a lot. Despite the bitching and some bad moment, it has been fun. I have learnt a lot and had great fun, all paid for. Why prostitute ourselves to do things that we hate?

This reminds me, again, of a senior consultant. He would gentle remind me when I was stressed at work "Always remember. Only God can do miracles. We are only human. Just do what we can." Words of wisdom, I would say.

Agent 99

More updates from Nible2. I enjoy having breakfast with my fellow colleagues who has a sarcastic sense of humour. In Nible2, the Sales team loves to say that every sales potential has a 99% chance of Nible2 getting in. From past record, the 1% usually un-hinges everything. It's not because they did not work hard, but I think they just fight the wrong battles.
So, given their popular 99% chance of getting products, we now name the latest addition to the Sales force as "Agent 99", with reference to Get Smart. Come to think of it, they do fit the character Maxwell Smart well. To say the least, Nible2 (myself included) are a bunch of bungling idiots.
I am still darn free in the office, with no work assigned to me by AC. She's really keep me in cold storage. Which is good, because it gives me time to update my resume and my CV. Gives me time to blog too.
If and when I ever leave Nible2, I would have to thank the MIS manager. He has blocked many sites, (like YouTube, Friendster, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo Chat, G Talk, Skype) - with good intentions. It is good to ensure staff doesn't waste too much time on such websites and to save on Internet bandwidth.
The part that I am very thankful is, access to the essential sites, such as Jobstreet, JenJobs and of course, my blog, is still open. To the very least, he is kind enough to give us a lifeline!

Monday Monday

I am sure that there is nothing wrong with Mondays. It's just that things happen to go wrong on Mondays. Nible2 was really cold this morning, as if someone has left the air condition running over the weekend. Then, I found out that we are out of toner. To order toner for the printer would take about two weeks. More than a week just for the bloody approvals.

No shit clue what is wrong with the email server this morning - I am not able to receive any emails yet. Which is not bad, as this means that my problems will not arrive to my desk that soon. And it gives me time to update my blog.

Weekend? Oh. Very very uneventful to the point that it was extremely boring. I am broke, partially due to my wisdom tooth issue. H has been too busy making money. So, she is not interested in anything else.

Such is life, full of ups and downs. But I sure hope to keep all the ups and downs to the ones in the bedroom. Hehehe.

Over Paid Typist

Well, my wisdom tooth surgery has almost fully recovered. It was itching like crazy yesterday but just a dull pain today. Not bad at all. Will be having the stitches removed by the end of this week.
On the business front, AC is still giving me hell. I have been sitting around doing nothing much for the past few days, which is good. I did do my own research on weevils. Will publish my findings on those soon.
Today, I have been given the task to manually do data entry from business cards into an excel file. No shit clue as to why AC has chosen an EXCEL file to store contact details. An address book or a database would have made some sense. Anyway, it will be a quick job and I will leave the rest pretty much as it is. Hehehe. It is call working smart. The key is to look very busy while doing nothing productive. Work smart, not work hard.
Started my job hunting already, which is pretty much in full gear. Will continue to send my resume to a few more head hunters. Anyone looking for someone with engineering - electronics background who's into marketing work? Call me, call me now!
