    not that it matters, since my beliefs do not support reincarnation theory either..but it's a romantic notion nevertheless...forming lots of pre-destined stories
    Past souls? I thought it's the same soul all over again, only our lives get renewed....

    Your current one don't look so much like him.

    But yes, it is a compliment. Zhang is a very talented guy in the music industry, who did many great great composition of songs - he is, and I believe he will always be. I vaguely remember he was the one who discovered/introduced A-Mei into the industry.

    Update on my "lovely" assistant:-

    She's late for work.... before doing anything more important when she reaches our office, she got herself a big bowl of cereal and enjoy it. So, she's paid market-rate but she's only here to "learn" rather than doing anything more beneficial/contributive to the company? Pay me one more K and I'll show you what it trully means by Mighty Mouse!

    I'm very tired of doing my part of work, and taking care of every single shit, plus teaching and paying attention to what that assistant do (anything foolish). Teaching her including the slightest professional work ethics - the really detailed ones, I'm saying.

    I'm glad my boss has began to sound to me about her, despite I feel that he really sound mean. He literally told me, "If our work has caused her to fall sick so frequently when she's barely doing anything productive -- please ask her to go." Well, I reserved my comments to him because I know better. The night before she left office really late due to her freelance "radio show" using our office facilities.

    Have you had a serious talk with her yet? Maybe you should issue a warning or two, and tell her you will be observing her for another short period of time. This should be a red alert for her to start changing for the better.

    Yes, I had. A few times, in fact, and I increased the level of seriousness every time I have a talk with her.... until the point that, I don't know if I could/should increase the level of seriousness anymore.

    I'm also doing what HYS advised - doing a log, jotting down a list of her incompetency at work, which is seriously, extra work for me.

    Yes, and there was this phrase that goes saying "When someone pissed you off, just throw a flower at them.", I would do that, throw a flower............... with the pot! That should KO her.

    That makes part of the picture. KO, and shipped her to Middle East. Perfect evil plot.


    Thanks, folks!

    Is she aware she's at risk of losing her job then, after the talks you had with her? If no, perhaps you should let her know that, then observe to see if she made any effort to change for the better. If you already let her know that but is still behaving like that, then it just means it's time to pull the plug...

    The Creator did give me some abilities and talents.

    Unfortunately, none of them is particularly useful in getting me the things I really want.

    I don't know if she is sensitive enough to sense that coming. She has been quite relax/happy-go-lucky and only try to show her concerns in work when people display the obvious displeasure of her work ethics. If no one needs her assistance, she will offer to make coffee and stuff - yes, the tactful tactic, per se. My boss only thought me that yesterday, so I might need to give her another kick in the butt.

    She's turning 23, and she is not a greenhorn to the world. Actually, some things are pretty common senses or at least initiative required but she just seems to possess them nor have the desire to pick them up and simply being so un-focus at work. I can tell it is her problem from the pattern in her resume - job history, and her usual patterns at work. Maybe that "lose her job" thing will wake her up. I know she has some problems/financial problems at home, but so does everyone (having their sets of problems). At work, I expect the basic professionalism - at least. She was on sick leave yesterday and guess what? It was due to she went home late the day before. So, she went home late, because she was doing that radio show in our office after office hours til midnight.

    Ced, use the log and kick her out. Then, you don't have to keep the log and don't have to "take care" of your lovely assistant anymore. Two birds with one stone.

    Today, my boss gave me the green light to kick another misbehaving staff member out. Now, we have 4 vacancies and a steadily growing customer base to serve. What luck!
