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. 

 this year february is 29 days. but somehow, on 27-feb, our finance informing that salary has been distributed. what the hell happened?! seem the large invoice has been paid, and the boss think by fast forward the salary will make some of his employee happy. well it cause some unbalance . because some people will experience longer 'month' on march, since the payment on march will be the default date, which is end of the month. and march is 31 days long month, plus 2 days early from february, so next payment will occur after duration 33 days.

 then your big boss will join random chatting on slack. which he never does.

since the end of february i have been working from home, because the covid-19 plague hit the world including in Jakarta. Initially, the laptop is placed on the table as usual. but because i must always stand-by because it must be responsive every time i got contacted from colleague, therefore it is more sitting in front of the computer than the as usually i do in the office or at the client's office. in the end it causing sore. unfortunately, I have  visual impairment so it is rather difficult to sit normally, because the screen is less readable. later i add a monitor which it's resolution is rather low, so the fonts aren't too small. but sore still happened. and then the trend of laptop's holder hit internet. well, in thi economy, i don't think i will follow the trend. finally a bright idea come across my mind, I use a binder. to hold the laptop. more or less it has the same functionality, isnt' it? add binder Well, at least it is somehow gives a bit ergonomic

it is come to my mind from time to time, that normally i don't go to a proper interview to get my previous or my current job. went back to my previous 4 jobs, most of them is not really having a proper interview on me. but one which i most remember is when i got a call to attend to an interview at 4 PM, while i don't really know the exact location of the venue, and it's 1 PM which i'm not sure whether i can get early leave. i manage to come on time, well a bit late, but it's 4 PM and i've already in the building, but somehow reluctant to enter the office due to no information shows that it is the office i want to go to. after met with the security guard, who ask me to wait, and i met this guy, it's a foreigner. a friend who informed me about this job is not telling me that i had to go for interview with a foreigner. what i'm worried about is my english which was very rusty. been years that i'm not using it. so, my future boss then asking

things are all in crisis. it happened after covid-19 pandemic break. it damage everything too other than human life. the covid-19 pandemic causing people must stay at home, thus the economy slowing. some people managed the opportunity to work from home, but alas some company cannot afford it. and it end up with layoff. so is this office. luckily the management not going to fire anyone in the next 5 or 6 months, but they must cut the salary off to 60% let see how long this things will be going on. hopefully things can come back as normal soon.
