its the bloomin' end of the month

I think I know what's the most frequently uttered word in my world now - its Bloomberg. New York's mayor must have his eyes twitch frequently throughout the day as millions upon millions of conversations speak his name.

One colleague sent out an email saying how despondent he was that he didn't seem to be adding value to his clients. His senior colleague had asked the client about him (who was assigned to cover the client) and the client had said...

Senior colleague: By the way, what do you think of D***?
Client: D***? Havent heard of it, whats the Bloomberg code?

Ouch.

Others frequently heard -

"WTF is wrong with the f***ing Bloomberg, its hanging, f***k f***k!!!"
"Get it from Bloomberg."
"My PT on Bloomberg is wrong!"
"Omg.. results out.. Bloomberg said so, look!!"

Wake me up when September ends. Or wait, wake me up after April 2011 ends.

Sitting in the car workshop lounge waiting for my car to get fixed - I think the fella finally gave in after months of putting off trips to the mechanic. Seeing my little Myvi being suspended in the air while the mechanics tinker with it.. and working via remote access.

Today's the last day of corporate reporting results for me; and then its off to Thailand The Land of Smiles for the long Merdeka weekend. Took me 5 minutes to pack, as I'm going there with a totally empty suitcase.

Am now a prepared Bangkok traveller after last year. Getting ready to take advantage of sellers desperate to be rid of wares after the major tourist pullout in 1H of this year. Or maybe not. We shall recky the area when we land.
