drama-ness@work

God really work in very very weird ways...I don't understand most of them. But since He knows best, I just have to trust and obey Him.

Coming into this job, I already feel very "conned" on the first day. I found out that we were moving to Cyberjaya and I was the ONLY one who was not informed during the interview. I was also not informed that I will have to work every Malaysian and HK holiday. Unless the 2 countries' holidays coincides, No holiday for me. Well, so what if they pay, it's not just about the money.

I was the only staff in the department to handle tasks from 2 companies using totally different programmes with 2 supervisors. Yup, there were many clashing of deadline. As I "tahan" and work throughout the few months, more and more work were pile on me. It is very obvious that i can't handle, if only i can show you my desk. i've tried working till 12am, and the work is still not finished. I hardly step out for lunch.

I signed up for mission, my leave was not approved, same goes for unpaid. I was told that no one in the whole department never took more than a week leave before. Rubbish. My friend took 15 days study leave when she wasn't even in the company for 2 months. One thing I hate most is being lied to on the most obvious thing!

Of course I didn't point her out. No point.
After 3 weeks of thinking and asking for the leave. Answer was still no. Even the manager says its all up to my supervisor. I don't believe this. How can I work here anymore? I can keep going on and on about other negative things here.

Tender my resignation on Friday. My supervisor got it on Monday. I believe he was going to take it. Probably, some objection from a colleague who taught me lots of stuff made him had second thoughts. Most would think that this is drastic, but I have thought this through for quite sometime. Infact, if really didn't want to come anymore on the 2nd of work. But i know this, it is really difficult to change field. (why on earth did i studied accounts!) I will most probably end up in another accounting job if i do quit now. Eeeww.

On Tuesday, I was asked to stay. My leave was approved and they are hiring another person to share the workload. Apparently I have been doing at least another 2/3 of another person's workload. I didn't do this to threaten him. I just hope it won't look that way. The thing is, it shouldn't have taken my resignation to move them. That was not my intention too anyway. I would assume they can hire someone else better (just have to pay more!)

Actually, I was really happy to know that I can finally leave this place. But looks like God has other plans. Not exactly what I was hoping for. But now, I don't exactly have a strong reason to leave....well unless another job offer comes along...i guess my time here is not exactly over FOR NOW. I still want to leave this place. I don't want to work on my holidays....hulloooo?!! I still don't find my work interesting.
But praise GOd for what He has done now. TIMING....

Maybe God can't bear the sight of me staying at home. Cause I can totally enjoy it! Ahahahahaha. ;-p Hopefully the next time I give the letter, it would be for another job I know I would enjoy doing - definitely not accounts for SURE!

APSSC Team Buildling at Jeram Besu Sept 10th-11th, 2005

At first at thought aiyoh, weekend away…this was like after my first attempt to resign. Was pretty fun indeed. We all had our individual “bungalows” ….tent to sleep in. Hew Yen was my neighbour. This was the first time I get to try abseiling. Quite fun actually. And a few different methods in doing it. Hehe. After being taught how to use the compass, we were required to complete a few task…we absolutely fail in using the compass and map. Even the river “kayaking” was very much a joke. But you know what, in the end; we somehow manage quite alright…haha. At such events we get to make some new friends too ;-D

firsts

Ever since I started working, I did some stuff quite "unimagineable" not too long ago. Like what? Like when ppl call me out to mamak/1 utama etc, i actually replied, "dun wan la, I'm tired". But there is one that is even worse....I actually fell asleep watching tv! It has never happened before! I mean I fell asleep when I was "trying" to study for uncountable times but never when I'm watching tv!!! Weird man...

But nope, still don't prefer studying accounts...so stubborn huh... ;-p

Being positive?

I haven’t written anything for like 10,000 years…fine, I like to exaggerate (I assume all of you who know me can tell when I’m exaggerating and when I’m not ;-p). But that’s just how I feel. Work…not fun. And nope, still don’t prefer studying accounts to that. After working for a while, I realized how many things were not revealed to me during my interview. Well, lesson learned: ask even the most obvious question next time. I have tried and I am still trying my best to stay in this job. I do try telling myself that I will CHOOSE to be happy at work. It works, sometimes. But lately, things are getting a little overwhelming. I can write a 5000 word essay on that. But I think I better not dwell in that too much. There are 2 things that I really do like. I met some really great people and the current office is just one LRT stop away from DSP.

I’m setting a limit. One last straw, if it doesn’t work then......... hey, everyone has a tolerance level.

Ok, time to talk about something much more happier and interesting! Let’s see, not too long ago, I attended Rueben Morgon’s concert. To me, it wasn’t just a concert; it was a really amazing worship experience. Those of you who were there will know...wish there are more of such "concerts" around.

I had a great birthday makans! Ehehe. One session at TGIF with Mei Peng and Annette (eh, mana photo lah, only show off your new phone but never share the photos), one session with Paul at the now famous Sri Paandi (i think we ate at the corner lot one), one session at Manhattan Fish Market with Debbie, Joseph, Choon Ean, Karen and Andrea, another makan with movie with Monica and Debbie, and one more at Chili’s with Jee Ing, Charmaine, Yvonne and Lydia. Wah, I feel so blessed…a bit bloated too maybe! Hehe.

Despite the haze, you gals still made it. Thanks yeah! And thanks to everyone for remembering my bday, the pressies and not forgetting the video...ahem. Please, no unauthorized filming or screening. Yih Wen, I know my rights… I am the law…

Then there was last Friday’s Planetshakers@DSP. Thank God I manage to get half day off (wasn’t exactly easy when I was leaving that afternoon) for the rehearsal. But I had an excellent time. It was just awesome, enjoyed so much. Was such an honour to serve along with them, although I didn’t do much. :-p

I felt it ended too quickly....too soon! Probably because I knew I was going to work the next day…

People, do pray for me. I really want to get another job….FAST.
