Time flies, it's my third month working at my current work place. Within these two months, so much has happened it didn't really feel like it was just two months. Yesterday was the boss's last day and we had a farewell lunch at some indian restaurant located in little india. Cum end of this month, 3 more people are leaving our department for greener pastures, somehow i wonder if all these departures mean something?
We are finally (i hope) getting flat screen monitors for work! Well the order has been made, i wonder if they'll give priority to the people who have worked there longer, i wouldn't know. But yeah, we were checking out the specs of our PCs the other day, and my CPU is currently running on 1gb of ram. Awfully awfully awfully slow. And an ancient version of Photoshop 5.5. Who the hell uses photoshop 5.5 these days anyway? Haha.
I made another nomadic move. 4 times in 2 months, go me! I hope this place is permanent. i don't like to unplug all the wires of my CPU, carry the damned thing and the monitor around. It's not easy and super time-consuming. This is where the efficiency level of a worker goes down. When you keep moving them around with no permanent solution in mind. It's pretty obvious ain't it? Which is pretty sad too. Oh wells, make that my perm spot pls. No more shifting me around, i'm getting tired of it.
After the wonderful meal at the standing sushi bar, (SSB) we celebrated JW's birthday yesterday at Kaiho sushi bar. Which was obviously, way more fabulous than whatever we had at the SSB. Way more fabulous + way more ex. But birthday boy has deciding rights, when it's my birthday, i get to decide too. Muahaha. The aburi otoro i had was so effing awesome, i say JW's spoiling me and nor with all these yummy goodness. If the aburi sake toro at SSB was good, the aburi sake toro at Kaiho was way beyond good.
The three of us were strolling to the MRT station after our meal in town yesterday and we wondered how people upkept with their social lives while committing themselves to a 8-5 job. Sometimes (Ok, make that most of the time instead) after work, all i want to do is just get home and do mindless internet surfing. I don't wanna go out and get home late and end up having no time to do anything else after showering etc. See, we ended dinner at 8pm yesterday, ended up wandering around a bit, got home only at 10, came out of the shower at 10.30pm and bedtime at 12am. I barely had the time to do anything else. Sucks to have an 8-5 job, but i guess, that's working life for me.
I know i'm quite a rookie at work. But sometimes, i just wished they'd have more faith and give me more opportunities. We all have to start somewhere anyway, right?
I've been meaning to blog about so many other stuffs, like nat's awesome parcel from canada (golden oreos! ♡♡) etc etc. I'll get to it eventually i think :p
Do you see yourself doing the same things you are doing now, say... 10 years down the road?
What happens when you can't even picture yourself working in the same job 6 months from now?
Take a leap of faith and do something you enjoy with lesser pay.. or?
