Enjoy the Durians

Do you know what is the best way to enjoy eating durians? The kampung/village style, everyone gather around on the floor and open the durians one by one, it's fun to experience the different texture form each of the durians, I like the thick creamy with slight bitterly taste durian, and the smallest seed possible.

From an outstation trip to Sipitang yesterday, my brother bought several bundles of durians on his way home, each bundle consist of 3 - 4 durians, besides 2 of them have been conquered by the insects, we still have got more than enough to share. We ate until we could not take in any more durians into our stomach. My sister took some home and I frozen some for making cakes. So far I have got 3 containers of durian in my fridge. Hopefully I can make some durian cake tomorrow since it is weekend.

Cleaning up time

Are you happy with your job?

Are you happy with your job? Glad that you do but I am not. The company that I work for has taken over 4 other food and bakery outlets in just 3 months, hoping that the outlets will turn around and make money with the change of management with the same owners.

Our workloads have since doubled. They have taken things for granted that it is perfectly ok with the additional workloads assigned to us without properly planning on the human resourcing and financing, with only 1 clerical added to the workforce , with a ratio of 1:1. We realise that they did not even put any consideration now that with all these added responsibilities, they still push us for deadlines and expect us to perform like before, don't they realise that the quality of work will drop when one is overloaded with work?

The worst thing is the boss could just call in speak very harshly if she did not get what she wanted, the working environment has becoming so tense and with very low morale. Like a number of times which I came home with very disturbing and disappointing evening after harsh words that I received from the other side of the phone, I can not stand anymore but ease out my frustrations in words.

They should be gladful that they are able to push over the workloads of 4 food and bakery outlets to us with no additional allowances given. I pray things will change to the better soon.
