Stuff Around the Office

Listening to Taiwanese people say my name is something that I hope will never get old. It is absolutely hilarious. I tell them my name is a lot like Bill Clinton's without the on at the end (his name in Chinese is Ke Lin-dun). So most people try and say my name and it comes out pronounced like "kuh lin." In fact, a coworker here thought my name was spelled Cliat for a long time so maybe that explains some of the problems.

Do you ever have the urge to just mess things up? I do. Or I do now, I found that I will likely not be travelling much if at all this month-this of course is what I have been looking foward to. So maybe if I screwed up all my work and made some customers drop us as suppliers I could go out and travel to get some new business.

There is also a new employee here at the office (three people have left in the last week, including the only person younger than me). The new girl is nice but is a year older than me which makes me unhappy since I don't want to be the youngest one here. I am more okay with it now since I've known her only a few hours and she's trying to set me up with her friend.

In the office, as in life, I send a ton of email. But I have a bad habbit of not CC-ing everyone on it. Here even routine things need to be CC-ed to all the people involved so I'm trying to break that habbit of mine. My boss here is REALLY into Skype. I'll admit that it's nice and I use it to talk to my parents. However, my boss has me send him texts with Skype since it is supposed to be cheaper. He even called me on it one night after work at 10PM. That means from now on I'm always on invisible.

I know I need to put up more pictures. I'll try but my main goal is to drink hard this weekend so pictures might have to wait a little bit.
