Works everywhere

Being a working mom without a helper, I’m always on the go to run errands, picking up kids, buying grocery, and spending some time at the office as well. But I must say, it would be nice to have mobile computer workstations at those common places which I go frequently. Currently, I’m relying a lot [...]

Crampy Office

I wish that we can make more profit so that I can get us a bigger office lot, and hire more staffs. A few staff is coming in on Monday and my sales has to move into my office. Oh boy, talk about privacy!!!!!!!!!! Damn, I cannot do anything I like in my room anymore, [...]

Miniportables

I feel like getting one of those miniportables for my kids, one which they can surf the net, play some online games and watch DVDs. The iPad can do the DVD part, even if I can get some movies for them, but it will be more convenient if there is a CD player. They are [...]

No superwoman

I hardly get anything for the office and would rather leave this job to the staffs. I trust her in getting discount office supplies instead of wasting my company expenses or am I just too lazy? I can’t do everything on my own, so delegation is a must. I am not trying to be a [...]

what’s for lunch?

For the first year in Thailand, I had lunch with hubby mostly, so lunch hour was our couple time. Now that he’s away in another company, I hardly see him at all. Besides that, my lunch has become boring, unless I eat out by myself at fancy places. After eating alone for some time, I [...]

Eat and Travel

I hardly go out with my sales, but some times, it’s needed. Certain customers prefer English speaking suppliers, or someone with higher ranking position on product presentation, so in that case, I will go along. Since the distance between one place to another is quite far away, I sort of like sitting in the car [...]

Playgroup at office

There are 4 kids at my office now, and they are turning the place into a playground. No, I’m not joking! Amidst of the working adults, there are kids running around, chasing each other, screaming and shouting and messing up the place. There’s the thing about small and medium company, especially if family related. We [...]

Facebooking

I spend a lot of time on Facebook, but of course, it’s just one of the many tabs in my browser and I don’t check it out mostly. It’s just there, so that I can peep on some updates whenever I can. In fact, everyone in my office has Facebook but I try not to [...]
