63-Year-Old & Diamond Pushup »
CUBICLE - This past Friday we were just chatting in our cubicles in late afternoon, and all of a sudden we started talking about exercise. So this 63-year-old engineer who sits very close to me started doing push-ups on the floor to show us that he still got it, and dang, he was doing them perfectly! So this other guy coworker of mine said [...]
Smokers Don’t Get Old »
CAFETERIA - Today the news was saying that President Obama is in relative health, but one issue is his smoking habit. Supposedly he promised Michelle that he would quit when he was running for the presidency, but I guess he didn't make that promise... Interestingly, today I was getting water in the cafeteria, a coworker went by and was on [...]
Drinking Coffee »
CAFETERIA - Last night at the airport, I had to drink a cup of coffee from that Seattle-based company to stay awake a bit longer while waiting for the flight. After a red-eye flight for 5 hours, in which I slept about 3 hours, finally I got back to CA at 5:40am. Dizzy, drowsy, lazy, I decided to go for more coffee at Burger King before [...]
Cell Phone in the Restroom »
RESTROOM - I am not sure if I just happen to see/hear the weirdest things in the restroom, but today I witnessed another amazing story that must be told; otherwise I can't sleep tonight... So I went into the restroom to take a leak, and I saw this technician holding his "unit" with his left hand while holding his phone with his right. I [...]

CUBICLE - *click click*, *type....*, *click click*... this is what we're doing in the cubicle everyday, whether working on a report, doing research on some circuit design, replying to an Email, or looking things up on the server. We cannot be away from our computer (PDA, smart phone included) for more than a day because we would feel [...]
Sick Day »
HOME - What is unfortunate about being sick is not only do you have to stay at home to rest, but also you lose out a PTO (vacation) day to do something you like to do. My company combines sick days and PTO days together, and that's why we have 21 days of PTO every year (great company benefits!). In this case, we do not have to fake being [...]
B.O. »
CONFERENCE ROOM - Have you ever had a coworker who's got the strongest body odor (aka BO) that once you step into a meeting room, you know he was there 10 minutes ago? And I mean 10 minutes, not 1, not 2, but 10 ... Well, I do, and the sad thing is that no one knows how to tell him that. My coworker probably has this good habit of saving [...]
Post Halloween Effect »
HOME - As you step on the weight scale while holding the other half of the Hershey's bar, you start to wonder how it's going to work. Now that Halloween was 2 weeks ago, but the candies and chocolate bars are still present, including that almond milk flavor Hershey's bar...at least half of it... >_<' So what now? 1. Leftover [...]
