Talk has been about the 2% GST hike. Like people did not know it was coming. Talk was also about the ‘Economic Restructuring Shares’ – like people did not already know they were gonna get screwed over … again.
Compared to most other places, people of this tiny dot I call home can be really apathetic. Then again, I am the embodiment of apathy – especially when it comes to the running of the country/company/home – whatever. So who am I to bitch. Work is winding down – though the next week promises stress a plenty… something like the final efforts of a spawning salmon, I suppose. People are rushing to finalize meeting schedules for the next half year and dig around for some data which shows a promising outlook so we can all pat oursleves on the back for a job well done and let our hair down.
I am just looking forward to the day my boss will be leaving for his vacation. Have 6 days of annual leave left for the year – don’t know if this can be carried forward to the next year. At least when the grouch has gone off for his vacation, I can make plans to use my leave.
Oh, and a shout out to a new acquaintance/friend – CA who is in town. Though I am unable to see you in person, I think I should at least thank you here for the gift you got for me! You really shouldn’t have! Anyways, I hope you had a great visit, and managed to get the things you wanted to get here. 
Back to the daily grind…
