      Our office decided that staff will take compulsory leave this week since almost everyone was applying for leave anyway. No point staying open, and we can do urgent things from home if necessary.

      I'm planning to push on with my own project this week. Trying very hard to get started, but it's so difficult to get going!
      am glad our office doesnt implement taking compulsory leave despite lesser workload this wk or two.
      I took the chance to declutter my working area and dumped a lot of old documents ...

        Belated Merry Christmas!

        Got back from our overseas vacation on the 23rd. Practically ate and drank our way through Kyushu. Then came home and continued with the eating and drinking over xmas eve and xmas.

        Received another nice surprise in the mail from MOE for DS. The last Edusave award he will get.

        Time to get back to my daily walks and IF.

        Now getting into the year end rush to prepare for 2024. Lots of HR, Accounts and admin stuff to do.
        I like your \"Practically ate and drank our way through Kyushu\"
        Japan is such; eat and drink through Japan :rahrah:

          We moved office in 2018 and 2020, so a lot of old stuff got dumped then! And we've gone largely digital since then, thankfully. We could probably do with a digital cleanout, but no-one wants to face that.

            Digital documents dont occupy as much space as physical or hard-copies.
            Even the hard-copies, we hv to shred before dumping.
            Hence if we can avoid dumping, we will avoid due to the extra chore.

              Shredding was a nightmare - we had a fairly old, low capacity shredder, and it kept overheating. So we had to allow it to rest every so often. We remind people not to accumulate stuff but shred more frequently, but not sure if anyone is listening. Anyway, they shouldn't be moving again for many years, and I won't be overseeing the move by then!

                  Yes. I don't know if it actually softens anything, but the fragrance helps with towels and sweaty clothes. We soak the sweaty clothes before washing, but they still smell not so nice if I don't put softener. I don't use heated water.

                      I don’t as I am very sensitive to artificial fragrances.

                        I’ve never used it leh. My fragrance comes from the anti-bacterial or sports version of my laundry detergent.

                        Past few years i’ve been using these Tide Pods, fragrance is good:
