Website Not Ready

 I’m still waiting for our company website to be ready, but it might take a little longer than expected. I can’t do the coding by myself, and thus I hired a webmaster to do it for me. Furthermore, I simple don’t have to time to linger with HTML despite on how much I would […]

Hired Someone

Our first sales executive has started working for days, and so far so good. We are satisfied with him showing the initiative to learn about our products since he doesn’t have experience in technical industries. He is good at selling medical supplies previously, so if he is willing to learn about our new products, […]

Off on Saturdays?

 We haven’t officially set up our company rules yet, but I really don’t want to come into the office on Saturdays. I prefer to have 2 rest days in a week when I can have a weekend away lying on the pool floats of some famous beach resorts in Thailand! But BIL’s office works […]

Hiring

We have done a few interviews in hiring some staffs, but it’s not as easy as it seen. Most of them can speak simple English, but I think we will have a communication problem later if we need them to follow specific instruction. Either if we can speak fluent Thai language, or we have […]

Back To Work

I’m back at work after 10 days of break. No, I didn’t go for Las Vegas travel, even if I’m dreaming of one! I went back to Malaysia to renew my visa and we rushed back to Bangkok as soon as we can. It’s nice to be back home for a few days […]

It’s almost like the years when I worked in the factory. One of the engineers moved a TV to […]

My lawn was being mowed yesterday, and suddenly I felt like we have been too busy to really spend time at home. My garden was prettier before we moved in as a family, and at that time, we paid someone to mend the garden for us. But after that, we decided to stop his […]

Slow Connection

Our office internet line is getting worse everything. I suspect that it’s due to too many laptops connected to the wireless router and thus we slow down the loading speed. We have 2 lines here, but I will get another line once our new office document is available. It’s insane to be waiting […]

Office Feng Shui

Since we are starting all over in another country, hubby is pretty cautious in decision making to avoid a big loss of money. He has opinions about everything especially about office feng shui. He brought along some feng shui statues which he believes in bring money luck to his new business. I’m not […]

Dress Code

I’m glad that I didn’t throw all my old office clothing away even if they are as old as 5 years old. I can still wear most of them and that’s how I would dress when I go to work. But I notice that our office doesn’t have a strict dress code as long […]
