Job Security

When do you call a job, secure? What are the measurements? Does it even have any meaning? Do you have to rely on your job security?

Personally, I have come to believe that the concept of job security is meaningless, or let me say should be meaningless. You should be prepared to move on to your next job very quickly and naturally.

My manager Bill, who was a vice president simply was "terminated" yesterday. It didn't come as a shock for him, more surprising he described it. We knew that the new manager was not a fan of him and they didn't share too many ideas or management methods. So about two weeks ago he was kinda demoted to an architectural rule. And yesterday, that happened.

I have to get used to this fact: Be ready to move on.

Friends

Friends. It's hard to say if having a lot of friends is good or not. Good friends are rare. Very rare. The ones that come to you when you need them. The ones that comfort you in trouble. The ones you know you can count on them. The ones that you miss if they are gone.

Afshin is going away, to California, San Diego. To work there. Good luck my friend. See you soon.

What should you say to daddy?

Today, after a long working day, we went out to do some shopping. As the cashier was finishing our stuff, Rose noticed some nice looking lollipops. She asked for them. I asked what color. She was not sure so she thought "ummm... ummm... RED!" So she got. Mommy asked her " Now what do you have to say to daddy?" She returned to me and said "Sorry daddy!!". I guess lately we expect her to apologize for the wrong things she does... Maybe too much...

Scary , Not Gary

According to Rose, the correct name of Gary, the snail pet of Sponge Bob is Scary and she insists on that. I don't exactly know why, maybe it's really scary for her.

How many times?!

Sometimes we talk about the movies and that how many times we've watched one and for what reason. Personally, my record is about 30 times. I have seen "13th Warrior" about that many times. Others include "The Matrix" which I have watched about 10 times. I can not say why it's just that I love these movies.

The world record however is 900 times! Mrs. Myra Franklin has watched "The sound of music" more than 900 times.

How about you? How many times have you watch which movie and why?
