Holiday seasons are approaching. Before the end of 2016 there
are a few things to get done.
1. Update resume
I try to update my resume once a year. It is a good practice
to reflect on what was accomplished for a year and find room for improvement.
2.Employee Health Benefits
Every company has a set of benefits for the employees. After
the year ends, the benefits resets to the original entitled amount. Before that
happens, go for a dental appointment or do health checkups. Some might say it
is petty to go after these health benefits. However, these are employee
entitlement and we should not be shy in claiming them. Besides the dollar and
cents that is paid by the company, the dental cleaning does good for our health
in a way money cannot measure. The health checkups can help you find out if you
have a particular disease or condition.
3. Make merry with family and friends
Since it is a lull period, there is more time to be spent at
home with family. Also, some friends take up the tedious task of organizing
gatherings. The year end is the perfect time to reconnect with friends you have
not met in a while.
4. Gifts shopping
Gatherings near the Christmas season typically have gift
exchanges. One of the gift exchange games which I find interesting is Dirty
Santa. The games involve participants attempting to attain the best gifts
for themselves. It is interactive and fun, unlike the usual Secret Santa. I found the rules online if you guys are
interested to learn more. Link @ http://dirtysantarules.blogspot.sg/. After
going through some gift exchanges, you get a feel which are the popular gifts.
If you are not done with Christmas shopping and vexed about what to get, below
is a list of gifts which are quite popular in no particular order. The price is
in the range of 25 to 35 sgd.
- Portable charger
- Speakers
- Book
- TWG tea
- Traveller bag lock
