what you want you can't have
Hello how are you? It's been ages since i last blogged... like some 9 months ago. There have been times which i really wanted to blog but was just too exhausted to do so. So what's been happening to my life so far?? Life in summation
Got a place, moved in there and just today we finished the last of the major renovation (changing of ensuite bathroom sink and tap). For sure there are a couple more things to fixed and repair but i guess its finally done after like forever.
We finally got our furkid back in end jan this year. She's been quite a handful but she's just so loving and cute... provided she doesn't get hyper. Her name is Miko and she's a miniature schnauzer. She's 7 mths old so far.
Finally went to sydney for a holiday after some 9 years. Managed to catch up with ken and jeremy whilst we were there. Also went clubbing and caught wicked! Just got news today that wicked will be flying up to brisbane in jan 2011..... oh well i wasn't sure if they were coming up and might as well just go for it.
Another thing that has also happened finally is me doing practical driving lessons. Had my 2nd lesson within 3 weeks and it was fun. hopefully passing it will be a piece of cake.
My sister is coming to brisbane to study.... arriving in early july. Love for her to be here but down side is that i have to ask phyllis to move out.
On the side of work, i was promoted in march to senior 1, promoted backdated to Jan. Its been challenging with the amount of work to be done and all. It's stressful too. Also, my team had 5 people leaving since Dec. Quite basically from the old crew is just my partner, manager and I. It's been demoralising and so so tiring trying to fight with fire all these while. I've started hating my job even more and everyday is just a dread going to work. Have been contemplating quitting and leaving so many times. Just until friday, i got bamboozled by the firm. Have been working on doing an internal transfer since May and talks during then was promising of me going to this partner's team in business services which would be sometime in Sep. However due to the announcement of the restructure last friday, that partner suddenly did a 180 turn and told johnny (my friend who's a manager in that team) that due to the restructure they can't have me over anymore. I just felt so so cheated and lied to!
HR's going to have a chat with me on fri and chances are that she's going to tell me that my transfer to that team i wanted was not successful but will be offering me to transfer to another team instead. That team is the original team that was looking for staff that my hr manager mentioned (and her bloody big mouth went around telling the partner who also big mouthed it to my boss). If they are really going to offer that to me, chances are that i will reject it. Reason being that partners in that restructured team are arseholes. One's smart but super cocky, the other's a stingy arse and treats its staff like children. Doesn't care about you. Common thing amongst both of them is that they love firing people. Something which i don't want to be in.
I think i found what i want to do in terms of career... thing is that i don't quite know how to go into it and the market here in brisbane is really small.... I would love to go into management consulting.... i really do not want to relocate to sydney or melbourne to go into management consulting... Initial plan was to go into tax/business services and gain some tax related experience there before venturing. Honestly right now, i don't even know what to do anymore.
Resigning now sounds really good but i do not know when i can find another job. Also, my holiday in taiwan at year end may be in jeopardy... I guess i will start looking once more... but at the same time, just have to be stuck in audit for the time being. This audit peak is going to be so interestingly fucked up that i am so scared...
Geez i have never felt this confused and worried before...
