Post Script

After you finish reading Da Vinci Code , you can enjoy a little secret-uncovering yourself by going through an online game Da Vinci Code . My co-worker who had also read the book showed it to me, and we ended up spending all our 'dead-time' in between work hours figuring out the puzzles. It was fun and challenging. I must admit that I cheated sometimes and went to the web for clues and hints. The last question is the hardest of them all, but that's because I have no prior knowledge in Latin. So go read and go play! Alright, alright. Enough endorsements here.

So I had my annual job performance review with my boss at 4pm. He was a lot nicer to me than I was to myself. My rating came in higher than what I had graded myself on my self-evaluation. Good. I guess it's always better to expect less and then end up more than the other way around. During the review, I expressed some of my frustrations with this position in areas where I felt very constrained. I hope I didn't sound so negative that made him sense my plan of leaving the company soon. There had been rumors flying back and forth that we will be laid off in August. So far, previous rumors had all proven correct. There is high possibility that this rumor could come true as well. Laid off or not, I want to leave because I'm not too happy with the position that I'm in and the people I need to please. No offense to my boss, of course. He's great -- just the fact that everyone else isn't.

One of my first friends I met at work left today. She is relocating and embarking on her new journey to Hawaii. Wish her the best of luck and I hope to see her again soon. Well, at least now I can maybe bum off housing whenever I travel to Hawaii. Yes, that would be nice.
