COUNTERPRODUCTIVE

LinkedIn wants me to start building my relationship with Erik by sending a message that essentially says I am so uninterested in him that I don’t even think it’s worth taking the time to formulate my own words.

As a behavioural scientist (a real one, not the “Surrounded by Idiots” variety), I can state with confidence that giving Erik the impression that I am uninterested in him is not the most effective strategy for building a relationship.

Don’t get me wrong; I love technology, automation, and clever, time-saving solutions. But it is nonetheless entirely counterproductive to use them in actual interpersonal communication.

At least if you want relationships with people, and not to treat them like trading cards.

You would think LinkedIn, of all places, would understand this.

Market Work in Malaga

The Mercado Central de Atarazanas in Malaga is really busy but on the day I visited in 2019 it was surprisingly quiet. The people working there were busy as ever though, and this man walked past me quickly, and out of sight around a corner in a moment!

I often wonder what has become of people I photograph in their daily lives, especially if I come back to those photos years later.

“Becoming more customer-oriented while allowing workplace morale to suffer is a poor and short-sighted strategy. Instead, customer and employee satisfaction should be seen as two sides of the same coin.

“A happier workforce is clearly associated with companies’ ability to deliver better customer satisfaction.”

My Top 5 Grocery Store Items

Click here for more articles & daily dose.

Working as a House Officer, I do not go out to eat much. Mainly because our days are mainly occupied with work and after work, we would be drained. Well, most of the time.

Thus, if I were to really go out, it would be during my long breaks which is when I apply for leaves.

In terms of acquiring groceries, I rarely go to the grocery store myself as I do not have a car of my own in Sarawak. I am extremely dependent on Grab and overtime can be expensive as well.

Hence, I make do with the convenience store downstairs at my apartment which doesn’t really have much in terms of fresh foods or ordering online.

Here are my Top 5 must haves in my grocery list which is available in the convenience store if I were to just shop there.

1. Coffee

As I mentioned in some of my previous articles before. It is a must have drug in my system. Personally I think I have grown rather immune to the effects of caffeine over the years from overconsumption. Thus, if I’m unable to get my grounded coffee beans, usually I’ll make do with some freeze dried coffee or a regular black coffee powder.

2. Oats

I replace rice for rolled oats when I’m living alone. Back at home, my mother would always cook rice as my parents love rice. However, I noticed that I easily crash or get sleepy easily after consuming rice. Thus, I substitute it for rolled oats and usually I would cook soups or curries and pour the oats over it and consume it just like regular rice.

3. Eggs

It is easily available. When there is nothing else stored in my pantry and everything else is closed, eggs go about well with almost everything. 

4. Noodles

Well, I’m not exactly healthy per se all the time, and I do enjoy my occasional instant noodles. Especially after work and not having a meal the whole day, I’ll just whip up a quick dish of curry instant noodles with eggs.

5. Sausages

Personally, I prefer chicken over sausages and as mentioned before, I rarely go out for my groceries. Hence, I’d go for sausage since it is easily available at the convenience store downstairs. In addition to that, I can be versatile with cooking them.

Thus, if I had to list 5 of the hat, these are my top 5 that I would shop for in any grocery stores amidst working as a House Officer.

Again, sadly, it lacks nutrition. But, oh well.
