Yesterday had turned out to a big day for me. Salary revisions for the current year happened. It was a whopping 50% straight increase. My hands count 6 fingers now. >:O) Darn excited and pleased with my employer. It was a plausible move to retain ppl within the organization. Let me watch how this money goes out of my hands every month.

Most tsunami satellite images showed the aftermath of the disaster. But in this image, DigitalGlobe shot Sri Lanka’s coast just as the waves were hitting it. The swirling of the ocean is clearly visible.

This one-meter resolution image was taken by Space Imaging’s IKONOS satellite on Dec. 29, 2004 — just three days after the devastating tsunami hit. The image shows destruction and damage along the coastline of this port city of Nagappattinam, India, located 260 km (162 mi) south of Chennai. Small homes along the shoreline have been destroyed, boats and small ships have been washed ashore, a seawall has been breached and plumes of grey smoke rise into the sky from fires.

The Cancer employee isn’t at work to feed their ego — their job is just a job and a means to get paid. They work steadily and are usually very reliable. You’ll be able to depend on them to show up on time and do what is necessary. They won’t get involved in power struggles or get upset when someone advances before them. They are able to accept the situation because they see it simply as a rung on the ladder up. Their motivation is security.They’ll want more money the longer they’ve stayed at a job. They don’t want to have to worry about how they’ll make ends meet tomorrow so they’ll need a stable position without much risk. Cancerian workers can slip into some dark moods on occasion.
During these periods productivity tends to drop-as well as everyone else’s in the office. Their moods can be so strong everyone becomes affected. To avoid the frequency of these occurrences, managers and co-workers should try to make the work environment as homey as possible-keep it well heated, cozy, and friendly. Don’t press them to reveal their true inner thoughts-their tendency is to be secretive and protective, and they could see prying as an attempt to disturb their security.
Another One:
The most emotional of all signs does posses the management skill more than that of a programmer. They can manage projects and they have appreciation for good software professionals. Though they themselves do not form good software professionals, they motivate/demotivate their fellow people.
They can argue on any matter easily and win over it either through a practical approach or emotionally. They play intelligently when given a task. They also, like Gemini, get the work done through colleagues once they know they are not capable. They are very honest and if they can’t do a job they will tell you straight in the face.
They feel embarrassed when they feel they are unable to do, when a colleague can do it easily. They are also jealous when they see people growing around them. They try hard to be on par with everybody else. They stay for a long time in a company only if they get more respect than what they deserve.
