Work not goot

New job not going so good.

Am struggling to stay afloat.

Maybe I don't actually belong in places like these.

Am starting to develop allergy of hotels.

But the fried rice here is not awful. Same dinner 2 nights in a row. Am going to go for 3 tonight.

It is an evil omen when I lose interest in my food.

New job has helped me realize that powerpoint is a tool invented by satan to antagonize me. yes. just me specifically.

Faux Pax Numero Uno

After promising myself not to bring up the issue of Pervert Austrian Man during conversation, was forced into a little corner of conversational desperation yesterday. In desperation, I reached into my very shallow pool of conversational smackdown (i.e. like WWE smackdown but between smart geeky people with flabulous bodies), and VOILA!! out came Pervert Austrian Man.

In an intellectual conversation about politics, work culture and developing economies, my contribution was Pervert Austrian Man.

Yes.

I can see how this is going to set the tone for the rest of my career.

Should I just resign now before they fire me?

I change my mind

Dear Anwar,

Please form federal government soon. Tomorrow would be nice.
And after you form federal government please throw this bugger into jail. It's okay, you can use the ISA for this one, we will all close one eye.

Thanks

Ministry wants women going abroad alone to get family consent

KUALA KLAWANG: Local women intending to travel abroad alone may need family consent in a bid to prevent them from being used as “drug mules” by international syndicates.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said a proposal to this effect would be made soon to the Cabinet, following several incidents where women were used to smuggle drugs overseas.

Out of 119 cases of Malaysian women hauled up before foreign courts, 90% were linked to drugs, he said.

“Last night, my ministry, together with the Home Ministry, have jointly forwarded a report to the Cabinet on the matter.

“Both ministries agreed that factors like family, religion, immigration laws and preventive measures need to be considered before a Malaysian woman goes abroad alone,” Rais told reporters after officiating at the Malaysian Silambam Association's Jelebu branch here yesterday.

On the proposed requirement for family consent, he said it would enable the woman's family to monitor her departure and serve as a preventive measure against her being duped by international drug syndicates. – Bernama

Anyway, am flying off tonight for the Much Dreaded Training Week. Have been working on the Homework in splotchy patches. Don't I understand that my irresponsible procrastinating work ethic will not cut it in this New Place.

New Place is already killing me with the pressure, and I've not actually joined. Gah.
