Happy Merdeka & Ramadhan..

I just had to post this:

Why you shouldn't tease old ladies

Defence Attorney: Will you please state your age?

Little Old Lady: I am 86 years old.

Defense Attorney: Will you tell us, in your own words,
what happened the night of April 1st?

Little Old Lady: There I was, sitting there in my swing on my
front porch on a warmspring evening, when a young man comes
creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me.

Defense Attorney: Did you know him?

Little Old Lady: No, but he sure was friendly.

Defense Attorney: What happened after he sat down?

Little Old Lady: He started to rub my thigh.

Defense Attorney: Did you stop him?

Little Old Lady: No, I didn't stop him.

Defense Attorney: Why not?

Little Old Lady: It felt good. Nobody had done that since
my Albert died some 30 years ago.

Defense Attorney: What happened next?

Little Old Lady: He began to rub my breasts.

Defense Attorney: Did you stop him then?

Little Old Lady: No, I did not stop him.

Defense Attorney: Why not?

Little Old Lady: His rubbing made me feel all alive and
excited. I haven't felt that good in years!

Defense Attorney: What happened next?

Little Old Lady: Well, by then, I was feeling so "spicy"
that I just laid down and told him: "Take me, young man. Take me now!"

Defense Attorney: Did he take you?

Little Old Lady: Hell, no! He just yelled, "April Fool!"
And that's when I shot the little bastard.

Busy, busy..

It has been really difficult to find free time nowadays given the situation with my employer's impending move to their new office in KL, as well as my wife's constant reminding of her needs to get a new car.

Those issues also relate to other pertinent requirements as well, like moving houses, getting a maid as well as maybe, getting a new job.

Now, I am not such a big fan of job-hopping, but I do believe that job requirements not only comes from an employer, but most importantly, the employee must also set his own standards on what kind of company he wants to work for - even if you happen to own it yourself.

Now, for me to be happy working in a company, I have set certain prerequisites:

1. Accessible location
2. Profit making / cost saving benefits (like stock options or comprehensive medical coverage)
3. A great pay package
4. An unlimited growth/learning potential

After maybe about a couple of months, then other issues come into play:

5. An understanding manager
6. A cohesive team (politics abhorred..)
7. Meaningful day-by-day existence (opportunity to contribute)

It really depends on your pain threshold I suppose. The more you can tolerate, then the longer you would stay.
