Stuffed with Spirulina

My ex-boss who's now my boss told me before I joined the company that this company really spend when deem fit. And spend they do!

On my first day, they pushed a medium sized bottle of spirulina to me - for free of course. Last week, they gave me another 6 bottles. Not sure what they want to turn me into but the instructions on the bottle did say that I needed to take about 5 to 10 pills 3 times a day. But the thing smells like dead fish and algae and 5 a day is all I could take! Maybe I'll turn greenish and smell like dead fish soon.

When the President first saw me, he asked me if I can build a shopping site for RM150k. I laughed and said that was more than enough. In fact RM1500 is even enough. Gosh, other than time spent, my own shopping site on the internet was built FOC! Of course I didn't know how they'd spend their moolah. On my first week, I was given the deadline of 1st November to come up with an educational site and a budget of RM25k for it. If only I had more time I would have done the site myself and get them to pay me the RM25k!

I requested for Photoshop and Dreamweaver. That was all I need anyway. The IT department called me last week and said these two costs about RM4k, so why don't they buy me the whole Adobe suite instead for RM7k. What can I say? Shucks.....now I probably have to learn how to use the rest of the programs in the whole suite!

And did I already talk about stationery?

Oh..and not forgetting, hospitalisation claims of up to RM150k. And the two collared T-Shirts that they've given to me. Plus my Edmund Ser full set of office clothes later on. Plus they never have warehouse sale so all those slow moving stuff are sold to staff with 85% discount! Boy am I going to shop for stuff that I don't really need!

At one time I used to stuff myself silly with spirulina when it was first available here.

Now I've completely forgotten about it until I read your post!

Best wishes and good luck in your new job and learning Adobe Suite!
