The Blog Keeps Ticking

Mein Kampf! Seize the day!

What? Why are you raising a hammer over your head?

Oh...

Ahem! I mean Carpe Diem! Seize the day! (Or pluck the day, which is a more literal translation of the Latin phrase)

Eat and be merry! For we may die tomorrow!

Dinner at Tommy's house cum workplace once more. This time, with the addition of two more recruits to the growing band of Sauternauts.

Chicken Breasts on Vegetable Strips
It feels like old times, except better. The last time we got together for a night of merry was far too long ago to remember.

There was also the tricky issue known as the STPM which most of the senior members of Sautern Enterprise had to endure.

Not any more! We are free! At least until the middle of next year when university comes along.

Spaghetti with Mushrooms
So who are the new two? Well, since I have yet to obtain consent to use their names in our company documents, this is all I can reveal for now... They are my sister's schoolmates.

The purpose of this recruitment is to increase the resident programmer population.

Unlike other tech companies, we have a dozens of requests, but a dearth of programmers to fulfil them all. With additional training, we hope the two new Sauternauts will be up and typing as soon as possible.

Broiled Beef
Through mutual agreement, we have divided our company into two teams.

Team 1 (me, Tommy, stupeed demon, and ___) will take orders from lead programmer Flyzzx. The most important project to complete being the new version of our property auction suite, FusionCore 2.

Team 2 (the two new recruits) will focus on rebuilding the company's website. This effort will be led by Song Han, who will no doubt be eager to flex his web-design muscles. His work is particularly important because he will be handling the unenviable but vital task of training the new Padawans.

Unfortunately, other projects we have lined up have to be placed in the back burner for now. However, negotiations are being planned so our future clients won't become missed revenue.

Shandy
With a few mighty burps masked by deft hands, we ended the night on a hopeful note.

An unseen bright future lies just beyond the door.

Let's open it!
