Ok, first, I'm a DRAGON, not an Ox, but since everyone (including President Nathan) is talking about how the ox is a symbol of diligence and perseverence and how we should be like an ox in the new year, I shall indulge in it for a bit.
The problem is, my first day at work is proving myself more like a lazy ox than one who is diligent and persevering.
There was hardly a crowd on the train to work this morning, and when I came in, the office was Q.U.I.E.T. Don't tell me everyone is on leave ok... But anyway, the rest of the day was as such - quiet.
The usual bustle in the office is almost non-existent, and by now (about 2.30pm) I have received a grand total of 3 emails (all automated news updates) and ZERO phone calls.
And after the event just before the new year, there just isn't much work left for me to do, at least not right after the festivities ended.
And so the whole day today, I'm just surfing for news and such, posting blogs and figuring out the cross-posting function between Multiply and Blogger (I'm currently cross-posting from Blogspot, by the way).
Interesting stuff I discovered today?
1. Obama doesn't like zoos very much, because they were excluded from Government bailout funding.
2. Some think the world will end (again) on 21 Dec 2012, according to the Mayan calendar.
3. There are more Nyonya stuff in the media than I previously thought! Grr...
4. 60% of the stalls at the hawker centre are not open for business. Result: l-o-n-g queues...
5. A man in the US shot (and killed) his wife and 5 kids before committing suicide after losing his job.
