New Office Furniture

I have moved into a new department.  Not really new because i worked in this department after i applied for work in this insitution 4 years ago.  Due to needs of personnel in other departments, i was assigned here effective first Monday of August.  Am barely two weeks in the area and i was already imagining a renovation of the office.  The area is not so big so I am thinking that I wanna have one of those U shaped office desks that are on sale now in the furniture stores. I dunno if my request for renovation will be approved but I will share my idea to my immediate boss.

I also would like to go away with this wall of bookshelf that separate me from the evaluation office so that their would be a wider space, but i dunno if this kind of idea will be acceptable to them.

If then…when would they start working and if they start working now I guess i need a relocation to do my office works. For sure i would be an inconvenience if i stand in the way of the carpenters.

They’re Cousins

Our Weekend Memoirs

Familiarizing with each other?  If they will not meet each other in the next ten years, they will never ever remember each other and know that they are related to each other. ;-)

Actually they are my cousins once removed  except for baby Gab.  The one in yellow and the crying boy are staying far from here and am really sure i will not know them when they grow up.  The beautiful girl in orange – she knew my name and we talked at times on the phone as i sometimes call her mom.  But even then, if we won’t see each other in the coming years she will not know me when she grows up and same with me.  The last time i saw her was when she was still a baby. =)

Nostalgia (my 6th)

Photobucket

Hey am back! I felt bad for missing this wonderful meme for some weeks. It was an unavoidable circumstances though so i hope i won’t miss this again in the coming weeks.

The photos i will be sharing with you all this week will some photos before leaving the leaving China for good. I was the emo type so i made sure i had picture taken with all the teachers (chinese english teachers) and my boss. So one day, i think the last week before leaving, we took time to take pictures in the 4th floor of the building.

~~ Me with the men in the department. Larry and Angus are teachers and Mr. Wang (in green shirt) is the communist leader in the school. I bet his work is to oversee that all teachers are teaching stuff inline with the communist teaching ~~

I remember my boss looks extra pretty that day for this picture taking.

My eyes were already abit puffy because the last week was spent saying goodbye to colleagues and friends and there were crying sessions, too. hehehe

I don’t cook anymore, too so almost daily at lunch we eat out as it it was so cheap there.  At lunch, my boss and some teachers can accompany me.  And here’s one of me and Penny (my boss) and Linda (one of the English teachers).

The name of my last employer was: Zhangjiakou Vocational & Technological College.  My students were ages 18-21.  Studies they make after senior high school.

Making this post makes me miss my friends out there.

Renovation of Rest Room

The renovation of the rest room inside the coordinator’s office is going on. It’s almost done and a brand new beauty is soon to be seen. The tiles were changed, the bowls, as well as the sinks. They browsed online for the model of sinks they used and they like Elkay sinks products. I dunno where they bought the product because the idea of ordering online would take a much time. I bet they just order it from the Citi Hardware, the home of modernized living.
