My Kingdom For A Quality Management Software

Gosh, it's getting to be really hectic these days at the office. We've been up to our next with work and at times it getting so bad that we're all unable to cope with the volume of work coming in. Things are helter skelter in the office at the moment with me and my partner running around like headless chickens at times.

We need a lot more staff unfortunately we can't afford to hire more than the ones we already have, at least not until we get loads more money! Right now though, I would settle for a good quality management software to help us out. Some super duper computer system that would make our lives a little easier.

These days, the moment I get to work, it's work nonstop till late at night. Take for instance tomorrow, my day is booked full with installations for some events at two locations that I don't know if I can manage to get it all done before the end of the work day.

Oh well, I suppose I have to suffer now so I can get my BMW all that much sooner ... LOL!

What Was That?

My memory these days is getting from bad to worse. Even Mrs. Spiff is already complaining that I can't remember a single thing and she's absolutely right. She can tell me something in the morning and in an hours time I'll totally forget what it was she said.

Even when it comes to doing my own things, I'll forget most of it. Take for instance this host of tv deals that I'm supposed to go check out. Only this morning I reminded myself to give it a look see and I actually forgot all about it.

I really need to start remembering things or else one of these days I'm going to forget my own name!

Good god, see I told you my memory was going from bad to even worse!

Doors, Clothes, What's The Difference?

I need some new door hangers! I'm running out of hangers to hang all my running gear which I seem to be buying quite a bit these days. In fact, just today, I went out and got myself a new set of Brooks running suit which I have no place to hang. I wonder what the heck happened to all the hangers at home.

Deep booming voice from above (DBVFA): 'Hey, you silly spaceman. Door hangers and hangers for clothes are not the same, you know.'

Gee, you're still around? I thought you jumped off a bridge or something.

DBVFA: 'You wish'

Seriously though, door hangers and clothes hangers are not the same?

DBVFA: 'Ah, you silly pathetic excuse for a human being. Of Course they're not, door hangers are those printed stuff with such words like 'Do Not Disturb' and clothes hangers, well, they're for hanging clothes ... how silly can you get?'

How the heck was I suppose to know that? A hanger is a hanger. Why don't you go take a running jump of a moving truck or something?

DBVFA: 'And why don't you go hang upside down off some hanger or something!'

Note to self: When you start talking to yourself in posts, it's time call it a day and go to bed. Goodnight folks!

Music To My Ears

You know, for one who calls himself a spaceman, I only recently owned my own MP3 player. Yes, shocking isn't it? I never did have an MP3 player for all these years and to think I'm a gadget junkie at that. I don't know why but MP3 players never did excite me.

Well, not until recently that is. Ever since I started my running again, I found it pretty boring to just be running. Wifey has her MP3 player and she relies on it to keep her going so I thought, what the heck. Why not get one and see if it does make any difference in my running.

Besides I spent a couple of days downloading the entire Star Trek universe audio books and also some tips on safe weight loss pills and what better way to enjoy it than by listening to it while I run. So I went out the other day and got myself a spanky new Philips MP3 player, of course it had to be a Philips seeing as how my surname is Phillips ... LOL!

Well, suffice to say it has made a huge difference in my running cos now I'm so engrossed in the audio book that I don't even realize that I'm running faster and longer than before. And most of the time I won't want to stop running cos I'd want to finish the entire audio book which sometimes go on for close to 2-3 hours. Unfortunately I don't have time to listen to the entire audio book at one stretch because I do have to get ready for work as well.

But I am glad I went out and got myself my very first MP3 player cos now I can't do without it when I run :D

It's Off To Work We Go!

Running your own company is tiring, even with a partner. It's 8pm and here I am sitting and waiting to head in to the office in a bit to meet my partner and pick up two other of our production guys and head to a mall in the city to install a couple of glass door branding for one of our clients.

We're only allowed to install the darn stickers after 10pm as per mall regulations so it's going to be a long night. While it might look like a simple job to paste up some sticker, it is a rather tedious and back breaking job to get it done just right, especially with a high profile client like the one we have that is soooooo darn fussy!

And the fact that it's our own company, both my partner and me have to be personally responsible to get things done right. After all, of we screw up we lose money and that is bad news for us. So while you guys sit there lounging around and munching away on some snack watching your favourite show, I'll be out there suffering away with some back breaking chore just to earn a few buck! I hope you all feel guilty about that!

Hahahahaha!

Going Broke Exercising ...

You know, recently I've been talking about nothing but losing weight, burning fat and where to find diet pills that work. I can't help myself. I'm so taken by this fitness thing that all I talk about with Mrs. Spiff these days is running, training and losing weight.

I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Every time we go shopping, we always end up in sports shops looking for new running and training items. We're spending so much money of running stuff that both our running shoes alone cost close to RM700.00!

I won't even start talking about all the stuff that we (mostly me) bought to go along with all the running gear like socks, shorts, t-shirts, water bottles, sports bags, a brand new MP3 player for myself, some exercise equipment for Mrs. Spiffy ... the list goes on. Worse still, I'm not done buying yet. There are a few more items on my list but I'm kinda broke to buy it all at once.

Have to start plundering some galaxies soon if I'm going to buy more running stuff. They're not cheap mind you. I have my eyes set on this pair of Adidas running singlet and shorts but they cost about three arms, four and a half legs, a set of teeth and one eye! I'll just have to save up before I can afford to buy them.

Exercising is really not cheap, especially if you're fussy like me and want all the bells and whistles that go along with it ... LOL!

I Feel Good ...

You know, back up to about three months ago, I dreaded looking in the mirror cos I'd see this old haggard and slightly wrinkled person staring back at me. Then I started working out and it has done wonders for me physically.

I don't look old and haggard anymore. I don't feel tired all the time. I'm much more energized these days. In fact I feel really good about myself. All my clothes are so much bigger than before and I'm going to need a new wardrobe soon ... LOL!

I should have started this working out routine years ago and maybe, just maybe I would have a body like Gerrard Butler by now ... hahaha ... at least I won't be needing any of those wrinkle creams that really work. All I needed to do was just work out :D

Lip Of Uze?

Does anybody know what Lipofuze is? No? Well, join the club cos I have no idea what it is either ... LOL! Well, I did some research into it and found out that it was a diet pill.

And no, I don't take any diet pills. I may be health conscious these days and am currently on  weight loss regime but I've been doing it all the hard way by exercising and eating right. No pills for me. But that doesn't mean they're no good.

If you find it hard to exercise for whatever reason and need to lose some weight, well then, I recommend you try lipofuze. It just might be the magic pill for you :D

28 Hours A Day

I'm in need of a holiday soon. I've been so busy with work and keeping up with my training regime that I hardly have time for myself. It's not that I'm complaining. I'm happy to be healthy and so much fitter than I was just 3 months ago but It's really eating up into all my free time.

By the time I'm done with work, which these days is so time consuming, I just have about enough time to sit down for an hour or two to watch TV before I need to head to bed. Just finding the time to sit and blog a few words is a luxury these days.

I remember there was a time when I would never fail to log on and blog but not now. Now, finding time to do research about alli weight loss is getting to be slightly impossible. These days I'm just happy to be able to sit down for an hour or two just to relax.

I suppose that's the price you have to pay to keep fit and to also earn enough money for your old age. There really should be more than 24 hours a day.

Anyone Here ... ???

*cough, cough, cough*

Good god, look at the dust and cobwebs in this blog? Hasn't anyone been maintaining this blog while I've been busy out there blasting away deadly aliens and saving this Earth? Sheeeessssshhhhh, the thanks I get?

I really got to hire me a maid to keep this blog looking spiffy (pun intented ... LOL!). You know, one of them french maids in one of those skimpy maid outfits to dust the place, scrub the floor, vacuum the mattress and things like that.

Mrs. Spiffy: 'French maid my foot! Don't make me come there and smack you silly!'

Drats, there goes my plans of getting a french maid ... LOL! Looks like I'm going to have to clean the place up myself after all. And I really got to keep this blog updated more not that it'll make much of a difference cos no one reads it anyway.
