The LITTLE Things

After Sept.11th, one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available office space. At a morning meeting, the head of security told stories why these people were alive….and all the stories were just The LITTLE things.

As u might know, the head of the company got in late that day because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring doughnut.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn’t go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck because of an auto accident.
One of them missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
One’s car wouldn’t start.
One went back to answer the telephone.
One had a child that dawdled and didn’t get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn’t get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work, but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a bandage. That is why he is alive today.

Now, when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone…..all the little things that annoy me, I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment. Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can’t seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don’t get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching over you. May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.

Info on H1N1

Apa itu H1N1?


Viral novel influenza type A H1N1. Ianya berasal dr virus avian flu (selsema burung H5N1) yang telah menjangkiti babi @ khinzir dan telah bergabung dengan swine flu (yg sepatutnya hanya menjangkit ternakan babi sahaja) dan telah evaluasi (mutasi) untuk penyesuaian diri di dalam ‘host’ yg lebih tinggi di dlm rantaian makanan @ manusia. dan semasa di dlm badan manusia, sekali lagi ia berevolusi supaya ia menjadi ‘air born’ dan menjangkit dr manusia kpd manusia.


Jangka hayat virus


Oleh kerana ia adalah viurs yg air born, ia hanya boleh bertahan di udara selama 2 hingga 8 jam sahaja. jika selepas tempoh tersebut ia idak mendapat perumah @ host( badan manusia) ia akan mati.
Maka bilik yang dibiarkan selama 24 jam dengan air ventilation yg baik….akan ‘bersih’ dr virus tersebut.


Apa yg perlu tahu ?


Asal virus ini


Sebenarnya telah terdapat outbrake di US sebelum terjadi outbrake di mexico tp tidak dilaporkan kpd WHO. kemungkinan outbrake ini telah dikesan dan US mahu ‘baling batu sembunyi tangan’ lalu tercetus la outbrake di mexico.


virologi virus H1N1


Incubation period yg singkat pada purata 2 hari dgn julat 1 – 4 hari
ini bermakna ia cepat menyerang badan manusia setelah ia menjangkit pesakit
pesakit akan menunjukkan simptom selepas 1 hari dijangkit paling cepat dan selewat2nya hari ke-4
H1N1 sebenarnya adalah selsema biasa namun kpd pesakit yg berisiko, ia dapat membunuh. jika pesakit adalah seorang yg normal, ia hanya akan memberi kesan seperti demam selsema biasa dan batuk.


Cara serangan


Virus ini boleh disebarkan melalui batuk, bersin dan percakapan
virus ini akan menyerang sistem pernafasan ( seperti selsema burung dan SARS)
peringkat awal, ia hanya pada ‘trakea’ jika tidak mendapat rawatan awal, ia akan menyerang paru2 dan boleh menyebabkan kematian akibat ‘lung collapse’.ia amat
merbahaya kpd golongan yg berisiko tinggi


Siapa yang berisiko


1.orang yg ada masaalah ‘obesiti’ @ gemuk

2.perempuan yg mengandung

3.orang yg ada astmatic

4.orang2 yg bermasalah dgn sistem imunisasi ( menjalani ‘operation yg besar’, kanak2 yg belum cukup suntikan imunisasi, golongan2 yg rendah tahap imuniti eg. HIV ext.)

* kematian yg telah dilaporkan terdiri drpd golongan2 di atas


Simptom2


Day 1 – rasa kurang sihat, tak bermaya
Day 2 – selsema, batuk dan demam yg kekal ( demam tidak turun walaupun telah mkn ubt
demam
Day 3 – rasa kurang selesa di bahagian dada dan sesak nafas
Day 4 – sakit dada yg teruk……..jumpa doktor dengan segera…….
Day 5 and above lung collapse @ koma


Langkah2 kawalan


1 – golongan2 yg berisiko, elakkan drpd kesesakan ( kawasan yg padat dgn orang
ramai)

2 – menjaga kebersihan diri, basuh tangan selalu dan dgn betul, jaga kebersihan
rumah dan persekitaran

3 – elakkan diri jika terdapat ‘orang batuk, bersin dan kurang sihat’

4 – jika kurang sihat, elakkan diri dr beraktiviti (sosial dan berkumpulan)

5 – jika kurang sihat dan ada ILI ( influenza light illness @ selsema biasa) jgn
hadirkan diri di kawasan orang ramai. jika terpaksa, pakai ‘mask’ (sekurang2nya
3 ply mask)

6 – utk org yg sihat, elakkan dr kawasan yg padat.

7 – jika ada tanda2 simptom diatas, segera ke hospital untuk pemeriksaan dan rawatan

8 – jika sihat, jgn ke hospital atau klinik utk ‘check up’ kerana di kawasan
tersebut mengandungi bnyk virus.

9 – tak perlu ambil anti-viral @ apa2 ubt influenza!!!!!!!!!!. jika sihat dan
mengambilnya, akn mengakibatkan resistan kpd vaksin @ ubt2 untuk merawat jika
terkena jangkitan. ini adalah kerana berlakunya resistansi virus terhadap
persekitaran badan yg telah mengambil ubt2 tersebut terlebih awal.

10 –vaksin hanya akan ‘wujud’ seawal2nya pada oktober dan hanya utk ‘frontliner’
shj. dan utk awam selewat2nya pada 2010.

11 -utk makluman, influenza test hanya dijalankan di 2 makmal shj di Malaysia.
mengambil masa 6 jam utk run test kpd 1 batch sample. jika klinik menyatakan
mereka boleh jlnkan ujian, itu tidak betul. tak perlu ambil suntikan seasonal
influenza kerana ia tidak berkaitan.

12 –tahap kesedaran dan pengetahuan yg tinggi amat perlu utk kita sama2 menghadapi
outbreak ini. sama2lah kita berdoa kpd ALLAH s.w.t agar bala ini cepat berlalu.
Amin.

Larangan dari Rasulullah SAW

Larangan dari Rasulullah SAW:

Dari Jabir radhiyallahu 'anhu, dia berkata,

“Rasulullah SAW telah melarang kuburan dikapur
(di simen), dijadikan tempat duduk, dan juga didirikan bangunan
diatasnya.”

(Hadith Riwayat Imam Muslim)


Dan membawa bunga-bungaan / jambak-jambak bunga dan seumpamanya bersama
jenazah adalah diharamkan yang telah menular di kalangan orang-orang Islam
kerana mengikuti adat-adat orang kafir dan Melayu kunoh dalam
upacara-upacara jenazah mereka. Juga kerana perbuatan tersebut boleh
mensia-siakan harta tanpa faedah dan memberi makna bermegah-megah dan
berbangga.

Manakala hukumnya adalah haram jika kubur dibina menggunakan marmar
(marble) dan seumpamanya, kerana amat berlawanan dengan ajaran Rasulullah
shallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, juga kerana terdapat pembaziran harta yang
ditegah syarak serta terdapat sifat bermegah dan menunjuk yang amat
dimurkai Allah subhanahuwata'ala.

Ali bin Abi Talib radhiyallahu 'anhu berkata kepada Abi Hayyaj Al-Asadi,

“Tidakkah kamu mahu aku utuskan kamu untuk melakukan perkara yang aku
diutuskan oleh Rasulullah untuk melakukan? Kamu hendaklah meruntuhkan
semua berhala dan meratakan semua kubur yang ditinggikan orang.”

(Hadith Riwayat Imam Muslim)

A Very Funny 'MEMO'

To all Employees:

(Effective January 2010)

Dress Code

1. It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.

2. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

3. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor's certificate as proof of sickness.

If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Holiday Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Compassionate Leave

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements.

In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use

1. Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.

2. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.

3. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.

4. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break

1. Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.

2. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

3. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. Remember we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience.

Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.
