what's wit the weather?~

it's thursday... am countin' down to the weekends (again) so painstakingly..

work at the office had been hectic as usual, but everyone's taking things one at a time... at least that's how i felt, and saw of my dear colleagues...

yatie lamented one day at 6pm sharp "arh, mampui-lah!.. cerita besokk!!" and left just like that.

poor darren... anyhoo~

the buzz ard the office these past 2 weeks or so had been about the big B.
yeap.. our 'year end' bonus is only makin' its way to us now.. crawlin' in fact...

and oh!, no more the word 'Big'...

they've come up with some 'performance-based' bonus appraisal 'system'...

50% is appraised based on your performance, the rest of the 50% basically on your attendance, your Medical Leave rate, your days of Emergency Leaves, and your punctuality to work (we actually do have warning letters for every 'late days' exceeding 3 days per month)...

and the latest? heard of one colleague who took ONE day emergency leave throughout the year, and he's down by 400 bucks!!! GULPPP......

now what would that leave ME with?????..... =.="

oh well~ i sort of understand the co.'s DESPERATE measures to cut costs.... but this is really... to the very least, verrry de-motivating.... now dont start with all the crap about giant lay-offs and companies hittin' bankruptcy... i know i know.. they're all happening around near and dear... but when you're the one hit with such @!#%$, you just wont bother about 'understanding' and putting in more efforts to 'grow' with the company...

"kerja berlambak... rasa nak balik aje..."

^^ that's normal reactions goin' thru the workplace, they're like some chain-reactions goin' round... igniting little fires everywhere around the office buildings.

my fate?

shall be known come next Monday... but i wont bet on it too much...
steven said "100% you'll be getting 80%".... some words-twisting eh??
but uhm, i think at least 50% wouldnt be too much to ask rite???????............

and herewith, i'd like to very much, post some pictures of dear nephie, which i stole from sis' blog... during his 'pre-HFM' outing at Malacca...

hurry up now, sis! snap away.. before he grows up way too soon~!!! ^^

another itch scratched...
