Appearance is Important

So today I met with the new VP of HR in front of the elevator lobby and he asked me why did I dressed up, to which I said that each week from Monday until Thursday I usually met with various vendors, whether scheduled or improptu visit.

I also told him that if those vendors came to our office wearing batik or formal shirt but I came out wearing t-shirt or looked like I was hanging out at a bus terminal, the company image will probably hurt. There was actually bigger chance that the people I met would take my instruction differently. Other reason was that it would show I respect myself and the person I'm meeting with.

Of course I'm not saying that my experience taught me that same instruction from the same person using different outfit will certainly carries different weight.

Appearance matters a lot.

He agreed.

Good for me, my point was delivered across well enough.

Look, I am not a person that you might call "grammar Nazi" but CMIIW, shouldn't this ad be corrected? Is it or is it not the correct word should be " SMOOTHER "?

Parkir "Ngaco" dan Tak Pedulian...(?)

Yeah aku tahu kalau memang parkir mundur itu SULIT apalagi kalau available space for maneuvering  sangat terbatas. Tetapi kenapa -- kalau memang masih ada waktu untuk itu -- tidak melakukan koreksi atas posisi parkir mobil yang kita pergunakan kalau kita sadar itu bisa menyulitkan diri sendiri untuk keluar dari parkiran nantinya (atau orang lain untuk memasuki tempat parkir di sebelah kita)? Misalnya posisi di atas, seberapa sulitnya untuk sadar bahwa posisi parkir kita itu SANGAT MIRING bahkan sampai memakan space parkir sebelah kita? Serendah itukah kemampuan mengemudimu? Yang terpikirkan olehku adalah dia terburu-buru ( positive thinking ) atau tak pedulian ( negative thinking ). Atau: Apakah SIM A yang kau pergunakan itu diperoleh dengan cara-cara tak pantas atau bahkan ilegal? Mengapa oh mengapa dirimu parkir dengan posisi sedemikian rupa?
