Reminder [Hot/ Rainy]

While I was waiting for my staff to hand in the report for my review at 9pm something (take note, it's 9pm not 9am, how could this go so crazily! Finally I simply stepped out from office by 10pm while the staff just completed the report ... left it for the manager then!), I typed up this reminder for my team to take care of my stuffs during my leaves. The longest reminder I ever sent.

Hope that they won't call me during my leaves, or should I just skip all calls during the trip? =P

Anyway, I won't be able to get reached afterall, since PCCW guys told me that they have no covereage over there for the global calling card ...

To: The whole team
From: Good dreamer

As a reminder for your reference ... add oil ...

Thanks and regards,
Good dreamer
