Office Relocated
Ugh... so it happened, my office has been relocated. I used to be able to walk to work! 15mins, 20mins max, walk from home to work! And walk back home! That, together with the morning dog walk, usually nets me my steps. Now my new "temporary" office is located at the end of the world (nah, I'm being typically a Macau-born person; anything more than 10 minutes away is "far") and I need to drive to work now.
Poor Dad, he used to love having my car to drive around, now I need the car to work, so he has no car now.
Anyway, this is a weird office because, it's not really an office. This was supposed to be some high-class VIP rooms for guests, but since it's not quite usable (not sure if because of business load, or construction licenses, or what), so what they've done is build up some temporary walls to make small offices. So I have a very weird L-shaped office, facing right in front of a defunct smoking room (LOL, because of licensing again, can't be used). My Boss has a HUGE bathroom, because originally part of the bathroom was to be a massage room so there's this weird big space before the actual toilet... and he has a shower too!
Wherever I move to, I will always have this Snoopy and Charlie Brown postcard and figure with me. On the back of the postcard shows a short story of Charlie Brown deciding he will never work so he has "More Time to Spend With His Dog." Well, Snoopy has other ideas. So. I guess this is some sort of motivational something for me that, no matter how tough work is, I'll just have to tough it out. Need money to feed the doggies (and kitties)!
One of the things I'm enjoying about this new location is the Canteen. Although I do have a lunch allowance to eat in-property, sometimes it's a bore to eat at such restaurants (big plate of what you order). The Staff Canteen has enough to keep me happy: Small salad bar, choice of 2 desserts and fruit, 6 choices for hot items, 2 soups and a noodles station I think. I'm pretty happy with getting myself a big bowl of salad, and a bit of whatever protein they have that day, some carbs, a soup and an apple. Yesterday they had Naan and Butter Chicken, so that was niiiiiicceeeee! My work station is also really big too.
One of the colleagues that moved offices together with me, LOL, yesterday, she was still "oh, this is nice. Just by my apartment building there is a bus stop, I take the bus and in 4 stops I arrive here!" So, she liked it, right?
Today she says "ah, it's not good. It was so hot this morning so I took off my jacket, and then I forgot it on the bus. This location is NO GOOD!"
Ugh.. I'm going to be two-faced here hahaha. Yeah, I had to sympathize but honestly, you should take care of your belongings? And just because you forgot about your jacket, it doesn't have any correlation with whether this new office location is good or not?
