I wrote a lot of unhappy posts about my jobs, because usually somehow being unhappy about something does motivate me to write. And I also know at least on my previous job, my boss was reading my blog, so it’s kinda an indirect way of letting him know what I wasn’t happy about (I realized that this actually a bad communication process). I don’t think anyone from my current work is following my blog at the moment, but it might happen in the future..

Alright to break the habit once in a while, I will post on what make me happy at fforesite:
- Great people.
- Weekly soccer game. DA mentioned that IBM has a basketball team that practice regularly and involve in comps, this is probably my main motivation to apply for IBM job, however I didn’t get the job so.. This is the next best thing I guess, weekly soccer. We play on Wednesdays about an hour or so at Centennial Park.
- Dual screens, it really a performance booster for me, gosh I am actually start to think that I can really make use of another monitor.. One screen for my Dreamweaver/Eclipse, and then the other two for testing in Firefox/IE or I can use them for any remote desktop-ing that I need to do occasionally.
- There’s a little outdoor basketball court near the office, I have been taking out 20 mins a day for the past 2 weeks just shooting around and so simple drills. Love it!
- Flexible work hours, we are expected to do 6 billable hours every day, which is pretty easy since I am always have enough work anyway, I clock in about 6.5-7 hrs a day. On the day when we don’t have much to do we can go early, sweet..
- Large desk, my own drawers, good chair, a semi-cubicle.. I’m so vain.. - Good variety of projects so I get to learn new technologies for example I’ve been using AJAX quite heavily for my current project (Prototype and Scriptaculous combo). I’ve also learning a lot from the CF guru in the office, better learn as much as we can out of him before him leaving us in few weeks time.

And I think it’s only proper that I give thanks to God for the fact that I can find work in IT area, that I can provide to my family, instead of focusing on what’s wrong with my job.
