88 Environmental Beer
We celebrated our first 6 month review of our environmental efficiency after work today. She and I have been progressively developing a model to monitor the energy used by the section to create each $ of revenue. Through several small scale energy saving initiatives over the last 6 months, we have now earned $Carbon Credits$ equivalent to the cost of 88 cans of beer. In the spirit of carbon credit trading, we celebrated this achievement by drinking our way through the credits :p
After the celebration, he gave me a ride to a mah-jong session. In the car, I got to know him better and feel sorry for the responsibility that he has been carrying for his family as the eldest son in the last few months. I couldn't do much for him, but be there for him and reminded him to self care and make sure he has friends to support him when he needs. I am a good colleague, aren't I. Oh maybe I am just 八卦 (gossiping/caring) :D
Talking about mah-jong... It was the first time I played the full round! Gee...It took forever! We were all exhausted before we finished and all prayed for 莊家千萬不要連莊！(no win for the dealer coz that means more games) By the time we were done, it was 2am!! :o It took us 4 hours to play one round while my ride had already played 8 rounds. That tells you how slow we were. The funny thing is that the only white guy among us four was the only person knowing how to score!! However, I doubled check it later with real players and found out that the rules he used aren't the common rules that Cantonese ppl play! Oh well, at least he had a book for us to follow.
