PT. Kereta Api corrupt security officers

Corrupt security officer, originally uploaded by A_ndre mobile's pics.

I was about to picked up my wife at Gambir train station at 4.30 am last Thursday. Entering the concourse, I tried to find concourse ticket booth (tiket peron). Gate security told me that the booth open at 7am and asked for IDR 1,500 (15 cents) for allowing me to go upstairs. No ticket whatsoever.. just keep whispering asking for the 15 cents. I called my wife tell her that I prefer waiting downstairs instead of bribing or arguing with those pathetic officers and ask her to get a helper to carry luggage.

Experience marketing

 It was rainy late afternoon last week when I stepped in to my fave coffee shop. Actually I have never been there, but I am quite familiar with the some other store with same brand which are really nice. I spent hours at previous visit at the other store uploading bunch of holiday pics utilizing free broadband. I planned to get connected again to continue upload the remaining pics. So I approached  the counter, which was not pretty big, a bit depressed by a narrow shophouse structure.

DOING LESS

Two weeks ago I erased 'my document' folder from my laptop by accident, when I was upgrading it. This is absolutely a disaster ...- its on the top list of my worst case scenario....  especially for power user like me that put almost everything in that electronic box. This was extremely hard to accept and annoy me much. I have some back up, dated 3 months before.. I rarely doing back up since replacing my old powerbook with Macbook thinking that hard disk failure at this moment is almost impossible.. so again this is my fault to not follow the basic in information management: to back up (wondering how many percent of computer personal user regularly do back up weekly or monthly).

Get organized

Busy day... and productive. That's good and I have time to get organized myself. Get rid of paper clutter, unorganized meeting, etc. I found that two tools I used are quite useful : Franklin Covey's Plan Plus to keep your focus to your important roles/tasks and David Allen's Getting Things Done - for me works like a machine filtering my inbox. Those are cool...
