Let the bad times begin

1 week ahead of Lent, we were informed of a 5% paycut for all HP employees. Boo!

Considering that our increments are like, 1 or 2% annually, 5% takes me back a couple of years. Double Boo!

Just last weekend, I went to Iris' new place for a housewarming party. It was nice, brand new building, 10mins walk to Ximenting, overall almost 40pings. You know, it made me want a new apartment. Even though I did at one point in time own a new apartment, I never had the experience of furnishing it, living in it. I was toying with the idea of moving. Seeing how I am in a rental place anyways, I could always move to a nicer place, today's economic climate it's possible to find a brand new apartment for roughly what I pay today in rent.

But with that 5% pay cut, perhaps I should be more prudent. Triple Boo!
