Terms of Retrenchment

I’ve read this long time ago when I was just married for one year and still in my technical proposal job. We were having some fun talking about our job which was at the peak season and we hardly had time to sleep on our overnight works. To free ourselves from the stress of our work we talked about the funny side of resignation, suspension and retrenchment. And this was what I’ve shared to my colleagues that sent them laughing.

When someone loses their job, he or she may be dismissed, sacked, fired, kicked out, shown the door or given their marching orders, the push, the elbow or the order of the boot. Some professions, however, have their own terminology: a clergyman is defrocked, a lawyer disbarred. Why shouldn’t people in other walks of life have their own terms for dismissals? Thus:

A climber could be dismounted
An electrician could be switched doff.
A marketing manager could be sold out.
A musician could be disbanded.
A pilot could be flown off.
A police officer could be cuffed off.
A postal worker could be mailed
A soldier could be paraded off
A surgeon could be severed
A teacher could be demarked.
A train driver could be derailed.
A wine merchant could be deported
A writer could be written off.

Heading on to their Silver Anniversary

Some of my school friends who married young before they even reached 20 years of age have grown up kids that have graduated from college already. When we get to discuss about their early experience of married life they would happily talk about the adjustment and hardship of early responsibilities in life. But they were proud that despite of the trials that they have gone through they’ve successfully passed with flying colors. They have managed well with perseverance and hard work. 

Now in less than five years time they will be having their silver wedding anniversary and one of them wanted those diamond engagement rings she found online instead of the regular wedding ring. Well that’s not bad at all because it looks like a wedding ring also and who cares if those were meant for engagement. The most important thing is the love that binds them together throughout these years.

Thinking About Business Plans

>> Monday, September 20, 2010

Lately I’ve been thinking about our previous plans on business. I’m always busy these days that I haven’t really taking some time off to plan some sort of business. We’ve been planning this for about one year but we don’t have time to manage it because my online job is very demanding especially now that tasks are outpouring. It’s hard to decide what field of business to take because it will involve a large amount of money. Careful planning should be taken to know fully what type of business will earn more profit. There are many investments like houses, jewelries, precious metals or gold coins but we’re really thinking hard before taking a plunge. 

With regards to gold coins investment United States Gold Bureau offers a kind of investment where you only have to choose from among their gold coins and have it safely stored in the bank. You’ll then wait while it appreciates its values over the years.

A Help from FB

>> Sunday, September 19, 2010

If only FB is a human I would thank him for searching through my old school friends and bringing us back together again. Among other social networking sites it proved to be the most user-friendly and has the most numbers of members I think. Well it was a common joke in my friend’s FB wall about the diet pills that work because most of us have grown so much bigger from our small frame when we’re still studying. Of course few have maintained their slim bodies because of health reasons. Anyway my college friends and I promised that we’ll check our FBs regularly for our forthcoming reunion again. I’m looking forward for that event.

Cleansing Your Colon

I’ve been hearing several news about the current trend in some herbal food store which is the colon cleansing because it was proven that our colon if neglected would give us various complications leading to colon cleanser. It was also discovered that there are foods that are prone to this kind of cancer if taken regularly. I was just surprised that the husband of my relative suddenly died from colon cancer without previous known sickness in his colon. He lived a healthy life avoiding vices along the way. He also avoided getting fat because they have a history of hypertension in the family. It proved that even if you live a healthy life you still have a chance of having that disease. Well that chance would be a very small percentage only.

Big Changes

>> Friday, September 17, 2010

I was having a chat with my former classmate yesterday and we realized that all those years without communications are really bad because we missed updates on our lives. From the looks of it we really have a lot of catching up to do. When we were in college we’re as thin as sticks but now we both grown bigger. We’re both workaholic that’s why we always missed keeping our body fit. We neglect to do our exercise regimen so my friend likes to try those Diet pills that work without exercise because she’s getting so conscious of her big frame. Anyway she has reasons to be because she’s single and has to look slimmer I suppose. Well I also want to be fit and slimmer but my diet plan has to wait until my work relaxes a bit. I can’t eat light meals when I’m working hard.

Following Dad’s Footsteps

My nephew has started to pursue a career in engineering field and because his school is a four-semester college he will be able to graduate in college younger than others. His five-year course taking up Civil Engineering will be finished in four years’ time thus a strict study schedule is a must. As of my last conversation to him he told me that he’s fairly coping up with the pressure of studies and he has his Dad to teach him whatever he ask because he’s taking up the same career of his father. 

My brother was actually very happy on their enrolment that his eldest son wants to follow his steps even if taking up engineering course is not that easy. Anyway the pressures are not visible in my nephew’s face and I know he will not have a need for the products I read on proactive reviews. Although I don’t regret reading some acne-treatment solutions on the review I’m glad that my nephew has taken care of his skin well. I can just relate what I learned from the review to anyone who needs it. That way I can help them in avoiding some skin diseases.

Some Probable Investments

The country is undergoing major changes now with the new President and the people are hopeful again after some decades have passed. Meanwhile to help the country to improve we must do our own share of good citizenship by paying the right taxes and following mandatory rules from the government. With the kind of economy we now have it’s better to be wise in spending your money as every cents count. It’s better if we can save some money to put on bankable investment. I’m thinking of probable investments that can give us high returns of capital. 

I’ve been hearing about this investment offered by United States Gold Bureau where you can buy silver, gold and other precious metals and have them delivered to you. It can also be safely stored to a bank or you can keep them and wait until it appreciates its value over the years. It can also be a good collection as well because collecting gold coins proved to be a good hobby and tangible investment too.

Abnormal Working Schedule

When I was working for a consultancy firm we had the worst working schedule because we used to work for two or three consecutive days without normal sleep. We usually take a nap for about two hours and then we’ll go back again to work. We’re working on bidding proposals and we worked continuously until submission date. I just can’t figure out why some employers wanted to work on rush days near the due dates. We’re given three weeks allowance to do proposals but until the last week we keep on repeating the work and finalizing only on the last days. 

Because of our abnormal or no sleeping hours our body got accustomed to working overnight and when our schedule went back to normal hours we became insomniac. I was actually finding ways on getting back to normal sleeping habit without using the best sleep aid I found online while browsing through the net. I might have a use for it in the coming days as my sleeping hours now are quite abnormal and shortened.
