…a blog on random thoughts and ideas… ^__^

I threw caution to the wind today…I thought that it doesn’t hurt to try something new in my morning routine. Every morning, I tend to prioritize business emails first while sipping a cup of coffee. But today, I read my personal emails first and didnt have a cup of coffee (I had one earlier…and I’m too lazy to make one again ^__^). I saw this email saying that it can show me my true color…hmm…interesting. So, clicked the link and I was directed to a website asking me all this weird questions…I think it was about 20 of them…nwei here’s what it said afterwards:

Your color is black.
The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of
elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines.
Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an
uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you
tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to
achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This
unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses
people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to
some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust
us, it won’t kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of
professionalism and achievement, which means it’s clearly the color for
you.

I’d say it is close to the mark isn’t it? Black IS my favorite color. Hehehe…^_____^

It’s been a while since I posted something useful here. Hehehe…

Well, just today…I was browsing and stumbled upon an information that really piqued my interest. It’s an online compatible version for our popular office suite, Microsoft(r) Office. It’s called ThinkFree Office Online and is capable of running a set of applications that looks AND feels like MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. The advantage is this…you don’t have to install it on your computer. All you need is a PC with broadband connection and voila! You have an office suite within your grasp! It has a slew of additional features that I haven’t tested yet.

Although, it’s still in its beta stage…it’s pretty impressive so far. This is really useful for people who just needs to quickly edit or review their documents and doesn’t have any office suite installed on their PC but has a broadband connection at their disposal. ^___^

Sometimes I feel like a call center agent coz my life damn feels like it! Most of the people I know call on me when there’s a problem. They seem to only remember me when their PC bogged down…when there’s a problem in the relationship…when there’s a bill to be settled…or if the freaking car wont start! *sigh* That’s why sometimes I ask myself if those people just plain dont know how to have a life or I have this certain magnet inside me that says "FOR ALL YOUR TROUBLES…CALL ME!"

I don’t know how real life customer support agents do it. They must be masters in psychiatry or have a hell of a party every night to be able to cope with all the stress, depression, complaints, and curses of their clients. Their one advantage over me? It’s an 8 or 9 hr job. Whereas mine feels like a 24/7 one-man team job!

Well…for the purposes of discussion and fairness…its not all depression and complaints I get. Sometimes, there are moments where I’m awarded fleeting hours of silence. Mostly because I’m at the office and working. That’s my real job by the way. But when my mobile phone rings or my messaging client buzzes, I cringe and hope that it wont be an emotional turmoil for me.

Maybe a hermit’s life ain’t so bad after all.

P.S. If you haven’t read my post "Amusing and Ironic"…now’s a good time. Welcome 2006! A year of promise? Not!
