the management invites the client for dinner. the arrangement will be 7 people from client will attend. at d-day on last minute, the client informed that they cannot attend, and as a good will gesture, they will be represented by 2 people, plus 1 additional 'unknown' to the management. while the food ordered was for 15 people. happy April fool, then.

on a random day, encounter with a colleague's post on twitter. i know immediately that he is a colleagues, since he use his real full name on twitter. he says something to laptop seller, that the laptop he bought is in excellence condition , although it is a second hand. than he posted image of two laptops, and mention the other one is office laptop. wait, our office gives (lend) laptop? why i don't know about this? maybe it come with the deal when he were hired earlier.
