accounting love

not that I love to balance accounts/wallets/fish tanks on my head.

recently had a flashback of things between myself and my other half-royalness. we had an ok pre-marriage relationship. and after marriage, things took a turn towards $$ and everything related. and in our case, our love for each other could be formulated to

love = $$ / both of us

the more $$ we had the more love we'll have for each other. so once $$ = 0, love = 0.

I believe much is so for a lot of people too and I would imagine this financial tsunami have uncovered a lot of these "love for $$" relationships, not just the sub-prime or Madoff.

but ever since both of us decided to turn towards God, our relationship not only improved drastically, our accounts are starting to be harder to balance too!

love = God X both of us.

we use to want to fight over whether we should pamper ourselves once a week or not. now we fight to pamper each other. just last week, my royalness agreed to go out with me to my fav jap eatery. and just last night, she allowed me to spend on a new electronic gadget! thank God for IT shows and a generous wife!

I just want it on record that I am certainly grateful for what has God and His Word has done for us and I really appreciate and love my wife Joanna very much.

exit

finally had my exit interview. after don't-know-how-many times of postponing, the lady who was suppose to conduct the interview finally had time. and even this time threaten to not happen. the company is full of last-minute and draggy meetings. a 3pm - 4pm can stretch to 7pm easy. I bet they are talking about current affairs like edison chen and ntu stabbing. ><

back to the topic. some people say exit interviews are the time to bash. be it personal or aiming to give constructive criticism hoping that the receiving end would take it positivelty and improve from it.

"since I'm not going to be working there anymore or since I'm not going to see so and so anymore, why should I give it/him/her/them face?"

"he/she/it/them are the most bitchiest-est being/bunch I have ever come across! hey come on, I admit I take like a pen a month from the company stationary store but them? they take a ream of presentation grade 120gsm paper home every day! they are friends with the security and their dogs! me? I can't even bear to take the coffee stirrer from the pantry! but don't thank me really. even though I totally deserve it."

actually I do wish I can do that though I really didn't. but I don't want to leave on a bad note. that being said, if not for the fact that the other side is more attractive, I wouldn't leave too. not especially when the world is in recession and what with every tom dick and david stabbing every one else just coz they hit a bump on the road of life.

peace.
