  16. Hi Zewt,

    It applies also for laptops, pagers and whatever gadgets given by the company.

    For the sales team; the more expensive the gadgets they hold, the more they smoke.

    To think that during freshie years, my friends would compare how high-end the gadgets are provided by the companies.

    Irony.

  17. Dear Zewt,
    Look on the bright side...it means the Comapny have put a much higher value on you.

    You have become indispensable to the Company. And that is a powerful statement of your capabality.

    Don't listen to all the negative comments, they are just jealous of your rise up the Company ladder.

    Way to go , man !!

  28. oOoOoh... I fergot... there was this one time when I was still working under my ex-boss n she jz came back fr her b'ness trip n d minute she turned her BB on... the bloody thing went berserk... in less then a second it kept vibrating... everytime she wanted to open to view a new mail... another one keeps coming up... reason bhind it was bcos the server back in d ofis went berserk n kept replicating one mail every second... u can guess how much her BB was vibrating dat nite.. she had 2 turn d damn thing off... by the time she got to the guys handling d servers we'd clocked a tota of 17,000 mails... i say we bcos all mails are cc to every one of her staff... really FOL but mostly FHL more cos it made her BB a vibrator for d night... *giggles*
