Dinner time! Stomach was growling mad yet I couldn't tear myself away from the bookstore. Hah! You won't believe the HR memo we got last evening. Says no travel, personal or other wise to US, Europe, SA, NZ - basically the whole world!!! - till the flu thingy dies down. Someone remarked "is that constitutional?"!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!Your timing... sucks!
-
They gave out a list - basically those countries with confirmed cases - and that list will be updated daily or something. So Asia is still ok for now. But looking down the list, almost negligible number of countries that we can visit.

While formating, ripping and so on.
I discovered that my godsister gave me some of her music files. So while sorting thru them, I found a folder containing ringtones.
The hokkien and just voices ones are hilarious. Already copied some into my handphone to use as ringtones.

The manpower officer and my welfare officer was waiting at the New pheonix Park HQ for their turn to collect the thermometers.Then got one CAD guy, thinking its just tiny stuffs, so only drove his nice cute personal car to the HQ to collect.
There is actually 2 pallets waiting for him.
So poor guy tried to stuff as much thermometers into his car. And they all reaches till his roof. He then tries to call for help from his division for 2 extra vans. Then he drove off with the two 1 and 3/4 pallets still sitting at the kerb.
The Main HQ people were all shaking their head and commenting that this CAD guy, if did not manage to collect and distribute the thermometers before midnight is going to get hell.

It's not widespread in NZ - just 1 or a few cases? So you should be ok.

Some airlines have begun to relax their rules pertaining to penalties for cancelling flights, in light of the current Swine Flu scare. -

like how my ex-colleague dyed his hair green and went to work
he was told to go back home (no off deducted!)

Bah! You don't need a termometer to tell you you're sick. I mean most times you know you're running a temp when you feel warm etc.
