A Short Visit To The Store

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I went by the store yesterday to get some fresh air.. and of course to get some coffee. But i didn’t stay long.. because i didn’t wanna stressed my body too much.  I feel really bad for PB .. because he had to ferry me up and down.. even before he finished his lunch.  But i was feeling quite queasy and agitated already.. so had to leave in a hurry.  This year.. i didn’t even attempt to go for the Seafest parade, so you can see how frightened i am about my health.  I really can’t wait to get well.

Employment In Canada

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Yes.. the Canadians have it way easier to get employed .. not like in Asia.  In Asia, the employers can specify.. what they want for their secretary or personal assistant.  I am so used to the sentences ” pleasant looking, age below 30″ in the advertorial back home.  Now that I am in Canada.. if you ever printed anything of that sort here.. you will probably be sued for discrimination.  If you so much as suggest that your employee use any acne treatment cream because they have lots of acne and needed treatment badly, you can be seen as not respecting their privacy or some sorts.  Sometimes.. i feel that the human rights thing can get too much, we for one .. have had many experiences like these with our ex-employees.  Therefore, these days.. we just don’t say a thing anymore.

New Laptop

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

You would be surprised that even though we owned our own computer store.. we sometimes resort to getting our computer parts or even our new laptop from other places instead of our supplier.  The big boys just have it alot cheaper.. and one can’t even blame the customers when they go to the big boys are get their laptops from there.  But you see, some may think that they had gotten a good deal . .when in fact .. it is not true because in order to make the laptop work properly with Vista, you need an extra memory stick or two.  So they bring it into our store.. to see why it is so sluggish.. and when you come to think of it, they end up paying the same amount if they had gotten it from us. Ironic eh.
