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!

in retrospect.. i think it was just God using you to show your commitment to him.

I mean.. yeah you dislike your job, but it's still the $$$ that you're earning.. but willing to make a stand.. "I am going to Nepal!! irregardless of what ppl say or think.. I'm going!! You can take my money, you can take my job, but you can't take Jesus away from me!!"..

So you resignation, was a challenge, because it could've resulted either way.. i.e. they accept.. then you get a bad track record.. i.e .resign without a job in store.. and reason for resignation.. "Go to Nepal for mission".. It all doesn't look well in a resume.. but HEY.. we are Christians.. we operate counter-world culture ...yeah!! Good on ya Jules... see ya soon..

btw.. your teddy bear.. still my hostage.. muahahhahaha..
