what made my day today?

Suddenly my phone rang.
I picked up (luckily, it was through. Sometimes, it doesn't)
"there is an express mail for you!", the receptionist said, "please trouble you to come down and pick it up. "
"Sure! Thanks!"

I went down!

I opened the mail.
It was from Godma... it's my birthday cards!

This is what the card says:

Wishing you happiness on your birthday and every day.
With inspiring thoughts by Emily Matthews

Each day is a gift
filled with good things for you. -
New light
shining brightly
on all that you do,
The comfortable joys
of your favorite routine,
The fun
that a few nice surprises
can mean...

Friends you can laugh with
and loved ones who care,
Goals to accomplish,
support you can share,
Time just to dream
and relax, as you should --
And wonderful reasons
to feel life is good.

Because you're so special --
hope all your days
are filled with those things
that bring meaning and happiness
to your world
and your heart.

Happy Birthday

it is an animal card...
four dogs sitting by the pool drooling while a cool cat walks across in front of them...

time to change job?

there was this article on Fortune describing the eight signs that indicates you need to change a job.

basically they are:
"

1. You don't fit in. Your values don't match the company's. If your colleagues are "dishonest and focused on getting ahead regardless of legal or moral barriers," Bayer says, it's time to quit before an Enron-style scandal sinks the ship.

2. Your boss doesn't like you and you don't like him or her. If your boss never asks your opinion, and never wants to chat or have lunch with you, and if you disagree with her agenda and dislike her style, your days are numbered. Adds Bayer: "If you've ever done something that undermined your boss, you might as well get out now."

3. Your peers don't like you. Feeling isolated, gossiped about, and excluded from the inner workings of the organization is a very bad sign, as is feeling that you're not part of the team and wouldn't socialize with your colleagues even if they asked you.

4. You don't get assignments that demonstrate the full range of your abilities. "Watching all the good assignments go to others, while you're given the ones that play to your weaknesses or are beneath your professional level, should tell you something," says Bayer. Likewise, if it seems the boss doesn't trust your judgment, you're in trouble.

5. You always get called upon to do the "grunt work." Everybody has to take on a dull or routine task now and then, but if you are constantly being singled out to do the work no one else wants, alarm bells should ring.

6. You are excluded from meetings your peers are invited to. Sound familiar? If it's painfully clear that your ideas aren't valued, why stick around?

7. Everyone on your level has an office. You have a cubicle in the hallway. Bayer notes that, whatever your title, your digs can speak volumes about your real status in the organization. If your peers have offices with windows and you're asked to move into a broom closet - no matter what the official explanation - start cleaning out your desk.

8. You dread going to work and feel like you're developing an ulcer. Ah, here's yet another of your symptoms, and a particularly nasty one at that.

"
I think i am lucky enough that I don't feel any of the eight above...=)
of course, I don't even own a job per se... does internship consider job? =p
