It's only Tuesday


It's only Tuesday, three more days to go before the weekend.

Just two days, and I am already very low in energy level. The long hours overtime these two days didn't help.

Neither was the poor quality sleep.

Even though I probably have to work in the weekend as well, like the many past weekends, but at least I only work the morning half and get the rest of the day to rest. Well, usually. During shittier time I don't even get the half day off...

I know I should be grateful that I still have a job, still alive and well, all that. But at the moment all I can feel is tiredness, and the lack of energy for anything.

心的频道:烂泥·朽木


感恩上司的安排,分享和介绍怎么更上一层楼,迈进高官职位的路径和需求条件。

也许那是他工作范围内必须要做的事,我真心感激,但我也全心抗拒。

至少,现阶段的我真的一点也不想要这些。为何他在安排那会议前不先询问我的意愿?

请相信我是没有追求高层次、高职位的欲望的,我真的只要简单的生活。

我工作为了生活,不是生活为了工作,现在的我已经需要常常加班才能完成我的工作量了,真的不需要更高的职位带来的更多的工作量、责任、和烦恼。我已经因为工作少了生活了。

还能够勉强及时交出报告,不是因为我已在舒适圈,而是靠周日和周末的超时工作。去年两百四十三个工作天我加班了一百二十三天,我一点也不舒适!

请不要那么看得起我,就把我当作是扶不上墙的烂泥、是不能够雕的朽木吧。

我要正常工作时间和正常的生活时间,很过分吗?

不是“表现;露出”那个显,是马来西亚混杂语那个“郁闷;无聊”那个「显」。

我的显还要再加上不爽和无奈。

又开工了(虽然周末和两天假我还不是在做工…),显。

公司政治,显。

共同合作项目但死死不分享资料的客户,显。

一点都帮不上或根本没有在帮的项目管理,显。

要反社会、反社交的我做新人的伙伴,显。

唉,很显咯!

Destroyer


Wifey and I built many things out of cardboard for our pet hamster, Snowball.

Snowball proceeded to pee on them and munch away at where it urinated on. (Yes, our hamster has some disgusting habits.) Not grateful of and doesn't cherish the stuff we gave it, so like a human child.

It probably also chews where it didn't peed on given the many places being destroyed. Either that or it has really peed on all those places, not hard to believe really given the amazing amount of pee that tiny body can produce. It's like a peeing machine really.

Here's a short video of Snowball, the destroyer of cardboard constructions, blissfully munching on an apple stick.


It's contented, chewing away with it's eyes closed. =^_^=

Long weekend (2)


Coming Tuesday is a holiday, since my annual leave count is approaching the limit, I took Monday off as well to make a four days long weekend.

Sounds familiar? Hehe...

Will not fool myself about not working, since the last long weekend I ended up worked three mornings and really only had the last day off.

Will just try my best to minimise my work hours and maximise my potato mode time.

Let the chilling me time begin again!

1st dose done


Today, I feel particularly grateful that I work in a company that places the wellbeing of its employees as high importance.

My company puts in the resources to set up a Covid-19 vaccination centre for its employees and also those of nearby companies, working with the government to speed up the vaccination process.

Hence today I got my first vaccine shot, I am pretty sure if it's not for the company's effort, I would still be waiting for the appointment. The backdoor government has failed miserably.

Thinking it would be like typical hospital or government process, where waiting is the norm, I brought along a novel to pass the time.

I am very pleasantly surprised by how smooth and efficient the whole process went, gotta say it has been well planned and executed. Again I feel proud to be part of the company, this is how we do things.

From me reaching the centre to when I got my Sinovac shot took less than 15 minutes. The 15 minutes observation period after vaccination was the longest wait time throughout the whole process, and that wasn't long enough for me to warm the chair, I didn't bothered to take out my novel. I used that time to send WhatsApp messages instead. =P

Since selfie is not my thing, I skipped the photo booth, took my souvenir, which was handed to me by the highest ranking local boss of my company, and came home. From entering to exiting, I was in the vaccination centre slightly under 30 minutes.

So ya, I got my first Covid-19 vaccine dose, looking forward to my second dose in three weeks' time.

Long weekend


Coming Monday is replacement holiday for Penang governor's birthday, and since my annual leave count is approaching the limit, I took Tuesday off as well to make a four days long weekend.

Let's just pretend I didn't woke up and went straight to work until lunch, my break starts now, yay!

Since I already drove my car this week I do not need to go out in the weekend to keep the car battery healthy. I intend to go into potato mode, grow mushroom and play copious amount of computer game.

Here's hoping nothing will pop up to disrupt my delightful intention and potato plan.

Let the chilling me time begin!
