Week Past 10/29-11/04/2007
This posting is way too late (11/20). W's laptop which I'm now using (our desktop is still down) had a serious virus attack and it's still under attack #&*!?#...
Wed 10/31 was Halloween. I had to work closing that day. When I got home the Halloween party with W's staff was winding down. Only the "senior" staff were left bantering with W. We're also left with candies and suckers. Now if they were chocolate...umm...There was also another party at Lydia's for the "old" timers. W's staff has grown big that holding the party in one house together with the "oldies" would make the place incommodious.
Looking at the calendar and seeing that Nov 1 falls on a Thur it's most definite that in Manila they have another long holiday to commemorate the dead. It's one of the things I miss. Definitely good for govenment employees like me, then, but bad for business. Imagine paying holiday hours.
Sat night 11/03 I had to turn back our clocks one hour since Daylight Saving Time ends midnight. Pity the people working overnight they have to work one extra hour and we get to sleep one additional hour. What does it mean turning back the clock? At least at 6:30 am you'll start to see a bit of light in the sky. The trade off, by 5:00 pm it starts to get dark.
