Could It Be Worse?

Hi!

Speedy updates...

As I'm typing this, I noticed dozens of cars parked outside the secondary school compound near my house. Since I post a few days back about the monsoon season, and how it rains almost non stop over here, the roads that lead to those poor car owners house subsided.

And it happened yesterday for Sungai Isap Damai area, just a stone-throw away from here.

6 years ago, the same area and my area, suffered one of the biggest flood ever, in modern time. Hundreds of houses, cars, household items, were among the victims. Luckily, fast action from the authority saved the day.

One of my customers, a Surgeon, lost his shiny, one-week old Alfa Romeo back then. Terrible thing is, there's no such insurance coverage for that. Not then anyway.

But today, compared to last year, the volume of rain is still much lower. And personally, I gather that the duration of rainy days were also shorter BUT not the damages it causes!

Rompin (area North of Pahang), where you need to go before going to Pulau Tioman, was the worst flooded area. Last year it was not.

The LPT (East Coat Highway), was cut off for a few hours yesterday before they open an alternative road...

And if you think that's already bad, one of my friends had heard his worst news still: His Boss is coming to work with him!

Hah!

Remember a few tips I shared with you in the last post... I closed with a tag line,"Don't DIE for the company!"

If your Boss want to work with you during this 'wonderful' rainy season, here's my extra tips:

* Ask her to tune to your local radio frequency. At least she knows when to put on her swimming suit.
* Ask her to double her number of clothes she bring along or simply brings extra luggage.
* Don't bother carrying umbrella. It's no fun!
* Book the most decent hotel in town (don't worry, it will be fully book due to school holiday, and you end up in the 'most decent ' hotel eventually)
* Plan for extra road trips. I got the feeling somehow that your Boss will appreciate that
* For hospital reps, bring your Boss straight to the Purchasing Pharmacist (she'll tell you there's no budget or budget freeze, most probably for next year's General Election and Emergency fund). For GP reps, bring to the busiest clinic where they are doing circumcision. Enjoy the sight!

...And feel free to add your own itinerary or item here. Make your Boss feels that it was a 'wise' decision to work with you during monsoon, than to be in the office, sipping coffee, analyzing sales figure.

...And ask her not to thank you for anything. You're just doing your job, aren't ya? ;-)
