Apple Ad's

Why dont they show these ad's in Malaysia?

These Apple ad's are so entertaining while maintaining an element of truth, it makes me wonder why we still use PC's.

Here's just one of the many in YOUTUBE.

Leaving a job

It is not an easy decision to leave a great company. And yet, people being people, there is no way anything could be perfect: even a great company will have areas that need improvement, or where things are simply not being done right. And so the question is;
“Would you stay in an environment that makes you unhappy, or would you go searching for a new environment in the hope that the future might be better than the past?”
That’s a tough question, and an important question, and like all important questions it has no simple, one-dimensional answer.

To me, it is a matter of degree. I have worked in 6 (six) different organizations in the last 20 years. My longest service: almost 9 years. My shortest service: 1 month. In all cases, the key motivating “push” that started me looking outside was that there was no satisfaction at the end of the day when I packed up to go home. But don’t get me wrong – we all have days when we go home disappointed. We all have bad days – that’s why Daniel Powter’s song rings so true in our ears.

But we pick up the pieces, find a resolution or work-around, and things start moving again.

Sometimes, though, there is no resolution, no work-around. People want to do things in a certain way, and no amount of psychology or rationalization or cajoling from your favorite manager can make you forget that in your heart of hearts, this is wrong. Now - to quit for ONE reason seems petty. But things can start to add up, like a mountain of small boulders that finally becomes too tiresome or too stressful to scale day after day.

And so, I found one day that I was exhausted, wanting to go home, but staying in the office till 10pm putting together information that I really thought someone else should have done if they had done their jobs end-to-end and not just piecemeal. That was the day I seriously decided I would accept the next reasonable offer I got (I had already declined one job offer).

So that’s how I started looking out. How I got my new job? Well, that’s another story.
