Treat me NICELY and I'll be NICE to you. SCREW up my life and you'll be SCREWED too.

its a small world after all

Recently, my life has been colourless and a far cry from vibrant. =(

It lacks pictures because

1) There is nothing interesting to snap since its work everyday.

2) I lost my omnia and I feel silly bringing my digicam to work. =S

3) I am simply too drained out at work to have the urge to do anything else.

I know this is all adaptation. I just need to adapt myself, my lifestyle and I will be back on track. However, its really difficult. I tried sleeping at 11-12ish and I wake up the next morning, tired. When I am in meetings early in the morning, I feel lethargic as well. This is not a good sign! Considering reading is the bulk of work when you are a new recruit, feeling lethargic and a little drowsy doesn’t help at all.

I am not sure whether it is also due to the fact that I always have to put in much concentration during meetings because I have not enough background knowledge. I tried to be VERY VERY attentive during meetings in order to adsorb faster and know MORE MORE MORE!!! But, I guess there is a side effect to it. =(

I really regret not treating myself better when I was jobless. During internships, I always tell myself this torture will end in a few months. There is an end to it. However, having officially joined the workforce, I can’t say the same and it is quite tough not having any solid reason to coax yourself. There’s only weekends and in some lucky instance, long weekends which are still considered as bits of a candy. =(

Well, honestly, I am not doing things that I don’t like. This I have to be really grateful and thankful to the LORD. It really lies in the physical nature of work. The early mornings, the long hours that require your full attention and for new recruits, the completely new environment and the need to get to know your colleagues as well as everyone else.

Right, before I got a job, I kept it up on the unemployed issue. Now that I am hired, I just couldn’t stop ranting about how hard it is to work. Even I, got nothing to say about myself. =(

Anyway, the title came about because while reading a friend’s blog, I noticed that in one of her pictures, my dad’s friend happened to be captured in the backdrop!!!!! This is so amazing!!!!!! Was pleasantly shocked! My friend and my dad’s friend do not know each other and they weren’t asked to take  a picture together but yet, they are featured in the same picture! Simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

Just let me say this last bit about working. I really look forward to my moolahs!!! HAHA…

FWOF

Been wanting to blog but my indolence got the better of me. I am gonna just rant on…

I wonder whether I am still trying to adapt to work life since the transition is great as accurately saying, I didn’t transit from a student’s life to a working adult’s life.

In actual fact, I moved from a bum’s life to a productive slogging life! Or not, perhaps not productive yet. :( But still way productive than before.

I am kind of stress out. I guess it is really different when you are a permanent staff. Very different as compared to an intern or a contract staff. I do feel the responsibility load on me. Anyway, life is not really great without a proper camera phone. Using my mum’s old phone for the time being and I really want to have a new one! Too bad for me, my contract is only due in Nov. :( BOO BOO!

Oh! Another stress factor is the truckload of acronyms used in my company. They are so mundane and integral that it is almost impossible to say anything without having them inside. Imagine someone’s response which only include 5 sentences. Each sentence will at least have 2 acronyms. If you make allowance for repetitive acronyms, you might still end up with 5-7 of them. There, if you hear 5-7 acronyms from a single response from a single person, how difficult it will be to ask the person to tell what do each of the acronym stand for?

I shall be nice and give you my title’s full name – first week of work. HAHA… Right, I am turning crazy with acronyms.

On another aspect, I do hope I adapt to work life fast. Feeling so stress and all has made me try to purge some of these negative feelings through buying stuff may it be online or from the trusty brick and mortar outlets. Luckily for me, I do need to purchase some office wear and my parents are happy to foot the bill for me.

Sigh… I do hope I will be efficient and effective in doing work. At times when I look at my colleagues who stayed back at work till late consecutively for a few days, I often wonder is it all that to life? I mean if it’s just because they are rushing over a particular project and working late isn’t a norm, then, there’s no problem to it. But, if working late is a norm and an integral aspect of work life, then, I wonder is it all to life? Perhaps I could live like that for a maximum of 10 years but beyond that, it will be too harsh for me. Where’s the work life balance that the government advocates?

There’s always more to life for me, although, I don’t have an active social life. But there’s my family and friends who are important. I don’t want to look back at my  life one day and realize other than work, there’s no memory of other things. Other vital things.

I shall end here without checking through. Too lazy to do so. :P
