Blessed to Work at Home

I am blessed to work at home since being a partner in a company in early 2004. The best part is that I don't have to drive down to office, getting stuck in snarling traffic jams or spend unnecessary money on office clothes or make-up. In this way, I can also wake up later than usual and have a quick breakfast of a cup of Milo before booting up my computer and start surfing around to check emails. My average income is like a director's salary, but doing the administrative work and updating web sites. As a partner, I also need to travel frequently between Penang and KL for business. Free meals are one of the perks working here with time for window shopping in an upmarket lifestyle mall. Regardless of what I do at home, I always get the job done in a timely manner and that is why the company can prosper with my employment.

Stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel

I just came back from a 1 night stay at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in KLCC. As we are members of the Elite Club, we get 50% discount off the room rate with free upgrade to a park view room. We also used the voucher for a free buffet lunch at Mosaic Restaurant in Mandarin Oriental. We also took the opportunity to watch Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra entitled 18th Century Evocations featuring music by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, etc. The dress code was smart casual and they have relaxed it a bit from long sleeve formal batik. No shorts, slippers, sports shoes are allowed. It was an enjoyable experience on the whole. It makes working hard more meaningful when we are able to spend a little now and then while taking a break from work.

Working from Home means the World to me

The present company that I work for since the last 9 years is not big nor prestigious, but it pays reasonably well and the fact that I work from a home office, means the world to me. We have been blessed with constant projects month after month since it was founded in 2004 when I started working here. It is a relief to note that we saved thousands of dollars from hiring many salesmen to go round places and look for projects.

Instead, what we have is a nifty, functional web site that brings in the dough with some enquiries online every month. People look for us instead of us looking for them. What is important is that our company web site is indexed by search engines where potential clients can find us easily online by typing a few key words. I thank God for the knowledge in implementing this, all gleaned from the internet and from joining forums to learn about web site designing.
