Let It Be Stealing?

This is the first post of this OFFICE HOUR category. Actually it is not about the daily office yet, i just want to share something in my past. I just found an old image from my mobile phone, just take a look down here…

That image represents the lunch I had almost everyday on my house when I still worked at home. let me describe it:

a small bottle of kecap bango (sweat soy sauce)
home made chili sauce
two kind of tempe goreng (fried soybean cake)
steam cassava leaves
ikan cuek/kembung (long jawed mackerel)

do you know how much i paid for that one? I paid Rp 50.000,- (about 5 USD) to my maid to cook up the meal everyday. That number excluded the rice, cooking oil, gas, and spices which I bought personally each month from Carefour.

if I went to nearest warung tegal (some food stand beside road), I could get maybe 4-5 times a lot more fancy luxurious dish compared to what I had those day. It could cost me only about Rp 6.500,00 (less then 1 USD) for each person with the same dishes.

I just could not believe if we made the dishes was much more expensive than buying the already served one, So one day I decided to take a whole day off (even i was working at home) to find out where those money flew to… and I found where they went.

My maids never took that money, but she made a lot of dishes, sometimes she made 2kg of fried tofu. the other day I found she’s making 3 bowls of oxtail soups. Once I found she bought almost 2 whole chicken then fried them… many more of those dishes bought from money, and never came out on my dinner table.

Its Been A Year

Today is exactly the first my anniversary as an employee… Well actually its yesterday, I got the first day exactly 18th June 2007 and before I work as a self employee.

if you ask me which one is better, I prefer the older one. but never mind, this post is not about that one. Next Monday I will have a ridiculous surprise, cause instead of me, I am going to surprise my co-workers for having me 1 year in that office.

On that day too  I am going to put a new category here in this blog, I call it OFFICE HOUR. That’s about daily routine life I found out in my office. Although all of them are old past story, but I believe the situation and the essence are general which occur frequently in every organization.

OK thats all for now… just wait for the next monday, ok ;)
