Who is not affected of this year’s global economic plunge? I am wondering if the richest man on earth is not having a problem about saving a penny for a lifetime. Somehow I feel a sigh of relief that Y2009 is about to end and see what’s in store for us in the coming year in terms of economy. Yet, despite of the crisis we can’t just let go of holidays without spending. How much and how little we spend doesn’t matter for as long as we are happy and the people we celebrate the holidays with are happy too.
Finally, we had our last day of work this morning. I could understand that because of this economic plunge, we had to celebrate it in our home office building which we don’t normally do. We used to commence and conclude our work at Ullevi arena and restaurants. But this time it’s different. I must have felt a sense of pampering everytime we gather and enjoy delectable coffee time and lunch. Somehow, I missed that today. Instead, we had fusilli salad, sliced ham and bread. Huhuu! Where is the real Christmas dinner table and smorgasbord (smörgåsbord)?
But of course this is better than nothing. It’s just not my kind of meals for lunch especially that I don’t like pasta much. I can eat it when I am starving, maybe. Though I managed to eat a little portion today and that was all. See how this economic has affected my job. I wonder what’s next if it never ends; decrease in salary or no salary increase. I think I’d prefer the latter.

Yup, it is better than nothing. It is good as long as we still can celebrate something.

It’s been said that it will be better by the first quarter of 2010. Hope it’s true.
Arafat Hossain Piyada says
I hope it will be true. There are too many unemployed people living around me who lost their jobs due to that economy crisis. Very sad indeed.

Hey ,
gee sorry about your arm, did that hurt?
and you cook very nice… i don’t eat alot of meat my self so I can really appreciate your salad…
I was wondering how the economy was effected overseas by all the problems the united states causes… there are so many criminals in the government and so many fake bankers that I haven’t made money in over 5 months… in my fashion designing that is..
So Ive been really working hard to do something else online for money and I found a way to get paid by referring my friends to an insurance company for 54 dollars a referral.
I would like to share it with you if you would like. I’m glad that you liked my last information that I sent you… How did it work for you… did your ad sense improve?
I have another one that is especially excellent for keyword marketing that you might like too… It’s http://www.spyfu.com and it is really something..
Well I hope you have a happy holidays coming up and you are very well.
thank you
dean
Marlene says
Hi Dean,
I’m glad you’re back here. Yeah, I didn’t forget that site you referred me and I’ve had it in my favorites. Actually, I’m still learning and trying to understand about robots and everything that Chad mentioned in the tutorial. And this is my assignment for this holiday when I’m off from my job.
Sure, I will visit spyfu later and see what I get to learn. Thanks a lot.
Happy holidays to you, too!

Ahh, 13th month! I used to expect for it when I was working in Davao. But not here, the gov is not offering this kind of benefit to employees, not even bonus. 🙁
I’ve checked your site’s performance without any blinking this time.
Amor says
Oo nga, it’s better than nothing at all. Pwede rin kahit skyflakes lang, haha. Sobrang tuyong pasko naman nun. You’re not into pasta pala, ako naman mahilig sa pasta. Sana nga maging maganda ang economy sa 2010.

Marlene says
Spaghetti at macaroni salad Filipino style lang yata ang kaya kong kainin. Ang dami kasing putahe sa pasta dito, di ko malasahan, hahaa!
Oo nga, para masaya ang lahat lalo na’t may increase sa sweldo.
