Me, Myself and Mayvelous
11 Feb
Recently I’ve been following “The Trump Blog” after I read about it from “A Guide to Billionaire Bloggers” on ReadWriteWeb. I’m sure most of us from Fiji are familiar about him from “The Apprentice” show on FijiOne hence need no introduction.
Anyways, just now I was browsing my feeds and this post, “Japanese Firm Offers Heartache Leave“, from Mr Trump really cracked me up. Well it’s not funny but somewhat makes me laugh, and think for sometimes.
I wasn’t surprised when I found out that all the employees at this company are women. I don’t mean to be sexist, but I don’t know many men who would call in sick to work because they broke up with their girlfriend.
Are you sure about that? What do you, guys, think? Don’t give me those man’s pride excuses and bluff about it.
But then I don’t know many women who would do it either. If you’re serious about your job, you don’t let heartbreak or store bargains keep you from doing your work.
I wonder our lives only exist around our jobs. He must be talking about those workaholics who got no life of their own and think only about work. It’s understandable since the billionaire such as Mr. Trump, who always think of how to increase his enterprise and who can get(or ditch) any women anytime without much effort would think work more important than other matters.
For me, I think if I ever get a serious heartbreak (I wish not), I wouldn’t want to do anything for sometimes. But then that’s all depends on individuality and how serious you take your relationships as. But I bet most Asian tends to take relationships matter more serious than those of the westenners. I’m just speaking in general but then hey what do I know; so may be not.
But I must say, that Japanese company is very considerate about their staffs well being. I’m sure the staffs appreciate about it and would boost their motivation to work harder for the company.
It’s a nice read for my morning tea break. Makes me think.

I think japanese people are smart but weird.. very weird. As you are currently staying over there, you may know about it more than I know. For me, I have been working with japanese people for two and half years and I think they are really weird people..
I second on that about Japanese being weird. Not that I know them personally but from the fact that some weird technologies they invented eg. a fan to blow while eating noodle, a butt warmer toilet etc. Ok may be I’m too much into weird chain emails.
Aww by the way, I don’t live in Japan but in Fiji.
Fiji != Fuji.
oh.. sorry.. I thought you are living in Fuji.
I just google and found about Republic of the Fiji Islands from wiki.. good to know..
