Is it impossible to have a good working relationship with your boss? My previous boss, I don't even consider him a 'boss' because he's a good friend. He's just so cool. I think that's a very ideal set-up, having a boss who's also a friend. With some bosses, it's a long shot, but I think it's always worth a try. Also, it's a two way thing. However, most employees complain that "my boss is so and so" but if you look at it, they're also not doing anything to improve the relationship.
I don't understand why it always has to be "one of us" or "one of them" (management versus employees). I don't understand why there has to be a very clear line between 'boss' and 'employee', which you cannot cross at all. When someone moves towards that line, and attempts to cross it, he's accused of sucking up and kissing ass. I also don't understand why having good communication with your boss, or being open with him, is something that's frowned upon.
But of course I know you can't have a perfect relationship with your boss. Or with anyone. :D It's really a love-hate relationship. You just have to make sure and try to always be on the 'love' side. :D

Bought the latest Gadgets and Reviewer magazines. Reviewer now comes with separate magazine called m ph or mobile philippines. Contains info about phones, PDA's, notebook and tablet PC's, and 'everything mobile'. People who are always on the lookout for the latest gadgets will surely appreciate this magazine. I am now drooling- thanks to the Sony Clie NX70V and Sony Clie PEG-NZ90. But there's one thing I don't like about the magazine -- the SRP's(standard retail price) it lists are based on expensive stores. How about Greenhills prices? Shouldn't those prices be included also?
Sony Clie NX70V - Isn't it a beauty?
Sony Clie PEG-NZ90 - "For those with deep pockets, for both the device, and the cost."
Anyway, if you're a tech-junkie, I suggest that you get a copy of the Reviewer, even just for m ph.

Sa... sandaling... kailangan... mo... ako...
Have you seen the new Bear Brand commercial? Parang hindi makahinga yung kumakanta.
I should get well soon! Listening to the TV is driving me nuts! I can't even watch 'cause my eyes are reddish and a bit painful. Potek. CD's? Sick of them too. Sick of my room and house for now. I've been stuck here for the past 7 days!

Friday Five on a Tuesday
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
Yes! My friends all say I'm OC (obsessive-compulsive). I want everything to be neat.
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
Yes, right now I have two notebooks. One is an organizer. I place appointments, special occasions, etc, there. The other one is a "To Do List" notebook. I really have to write down every thing that I have to do at work the next day. I need the list to guide me through the day, even if I know something new will always come up.
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
Yes!
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
Not by alphabet. By categories. For CD's, I put the women's CD's together, bands, OPM, men, instrumental, etc. For DVD's, the categories are action, drama, classics, romantic, comedy.. For books, business books, inspirational, children's books, comics (calvin and hobbes, far side, etc).
5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?
Events!
