I must confess, I still flirt a little although without any real intention of taking it beyond the lively exchange of words. Let's just say I flirt for fun. I guess its the ego boost when someone reciprocates (or at least I think they do) the flirting that makes me spew out a word of flattery or two (or a dozen).
There are time that I do get "turned down" but if my wit is intact and working at the moment I usually reciprocate with a funny retort which makes the situation kindda bearable for both of us.
I wont give any lessons on flirting because nothing really works if your not confident enough... ok, so thats a tip (dammit!). Humor and confidence... build them up otherwise just stay home and watch porn (loser).
I haven't made any comic strips lately (strippers block.. hehe) but I have several ideas in my head. I will be coming up the following posts starting this weekend: Types of People at Work and The Saga of The Ninja Auditors (or something to that effect). Plus I will post a mean tuna carbonara recipe. Meanwhile, read a book or something (I'm currently reading Stephanie Meyers Twilight Series).
Ciao!
As an Auditor for I.T. my co-worker's expect me to be well versed in everything related to I.T. (which, I am not). Most of the time they come up to me with questions / problems that they encounter with their PCs or software. I try to help as much as I could especially if its just a small program tweak or an excel formula.
So starting today I will be posting here any questions / problems my co-workers encounter which I helped them solve. Other people may also experienced this problem and by posting it here I may also end up helping these people (although pressing F1 would probably give the same result).
Let's start with this one... An officemate needs to copy a formula with same cell reference. Of course my retort was the classic "press F1". The thing is she doesn't know what to look for in Excel Help. So I asked her to give me a few minutes while I figure out her quandary. And, of course, I pressed F1. To make sure I explain correctly I will just attach the help file from Microsoft.
Move or copy a formula
When you move a formula, the cell references within the formula do not change. When you copy a formula, the cell references may change based on the type of reference used.
1. Select the cell that contains the formula.
2. Verify that the cell references used in the formula will produce the result you want. Switch to the type of reference you need. To move a formula, use an absolute reference (absolute cell reference: In a formula, the exact address of a cell, regardless of the position of the cell that contains the formula. An absolute cell reference takes the form $A$1.).
3. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
4. Select the cell you want to copy it to.
5. To copy the formula and any formatting, on the Edit menu, click Paste.
6. To copy the formula only, on the Edit menu, click Paste Special, and then click Formulas.
Overtime! A boon for the rank and file and a bane for the supervisors. Why? Because supervisors and up do not receive overtime pay. I guess this is what inspired my officemate VAN to write a script about the topic.
The original idea is for the employee to sneak outside using the cubicles as cover. I decided to change the escape method to make the strip more absurd and funny at the same time.
Enjoy!
The truth is I'm an Internal Audit Supervisor and the departments name is Internal Audit Department. Although I do wish I had a title like that.
This shouldn't be considered as a big event but hey, It made me want to blog more.
Got lazy making a strip so I just used some pix and played with it using Comic Life and the result is the fugly strip below. Anyway, its weekend already so maybe I will come up with some new materials. My officemate VAN gave me some script to work on so maybe I'll post it tomorrow. In the meantime bear with the one below. Happy weekend!
It’s weird that some companies’ value the time you spend at the office over the quality of work you churn out. Most local companies are like that. They even give awards like The Early Bird Award or something like that. What they don’t see is that employees coming early do not necessarily translate to increased productivity. And sometimes it’s the other way around.
Not everybody’s body clock works the same way. Some people are more effective in the morning while some peak up in late morning or even in the afternoon. Additionally, there are some people who simply cannot sleep early. Therefore trying to come to work early means that they have to sacrifice a few hours of shuteye, which would eventually reflect on the quality of their work. Lack of sleep also causes stress, which could lead to psychological imbalance, which could result in an employees inability to know right from wrong which could lead to the employee going to work with a shotgun and taking aim at his/her tormentors.
Although coming on time is a must for those who work on shifts, production lines, or any other time-bound jobs but for paper driven work… a two-hour flexi-time would be nice. I try as much as I can to come early to work (or suffer the consequences). However, I have no ambitions whatsoever of winning The Early Bird Award because I don’t think that coming to work early is an accomplishment all by itself. And don’t argue with me about the early bird catching the worm… because in a company, most of us are just WORMS.
Note: The dialogue starts with the Security Guard. I forgot to put the first speaker on the left. Enjoy!
This thing actually happened… well except for the zombie part. Although its not really the guard who sent me home.
They should have just given me a memo or something instead I ended up wasting 5 hours of my life not to mention Php150.00 of traveling expenses and a days salary. And its just because I did not put on my necktie before coming to about 50 meters of the office. This is one of the weirdest experience I had with the dress code policy.
This is why I never work on weekends...
We were discussing how a butt sometimes resemble a nice pair of burger buns. We were talking for about 20 mins when the nice chat turned weird. Imagination went wild with the resulting idea depicted below.
Don't think I'll be eating any burgers in the coming days.
Stumble It!
