how's first week of work?
hello hello! it's the weekend, and not having to wake up at 630am is pure bliss.
the first week of work felt like i was thrown into the deep end of the pool when i only know how to tread water. work was really intense as my fellow colleague in the department was on emergency leave for 3.5 days so i had to assume much responsibility where screwups involved money and stockouts (which is like the corporate highway to hell) it's mentally draining to be on high alert mode.
corporate responsibilities aside, there is a generally contentment you feel after the end of such a week to realize you didnt drown or screwup too much. (i should really stop forgetting to attach files in my email) for me the work environment is really important, so i really like the company's open door policy and it helped greatly that i get along well with my boss and colleagues.
working with a female boss made me realize once again how it is not easy for a woman to manage both career and family. its really beyond my understanding how you can maintain a family when you get to work in the morning and knock off late at night. it makes me wonder should i respect them? to have both a career and a family... is that a good thing? or not?
i suppose it all boils down again to "you win some you lose some". and everyday, we fight to seek a balance. between work and play. passion and money. heart and mind. emotions and logic.
alright, that should be the last bit of work talk. off to enjoy the weekend!

survival of the fittest
stealing some time to do a post now, i foresee that only short random updates will be possible from now on since...
(1) work here is rather intense so i dont get much slack time
(2) nobody is interested in reading an account of what i did on excel
(3) i will be too tired by the time i get home
for those who are concerned and have been giving me advice and encouragements, im doing good so far. to me, its really takes a huge load of my mind now that i accepted this 3 months job because focusing on work distracts me from worrying about all the jobhunt drama. im trying to put my best foot forward in this because i do cherish this opportunity given and its does more good to be giving things your best shot and to learn something than to work half-heartedly. the knowledge that im earning some dough while im at it helps alot too. the day i made my decision about taking up this job, I saw this liner in the papers that said "Pragmatism Rules". I guess that's a sign.
p.s: communicate with me in ulu bukit merah via the comments link or good ol' email instead of using the fobble chatbox. security in ulu bukit merah blocks my blog & gmail chatbox from access. needless to say... so is MSN.

clinging on a lifeline.
a door closed, and another open. instead of waiting for other doors to open, i chose to go through this one opened door and hope that other doors open from hereon. with it comes a future that nobody knows except He who is in charge. So, well don't think. trust and hold on tight....
