DIY

Yesterday, me and a few more individuals had to go back office instead of doing outfield work because we had to finish up and hand in the appraisal. That is like an annual report that every staff has to do that tells the management what you have been up to the whole year and whether you're deserving of the quarterly bonus. Okay the whole point is just to get that bloody bonus in March.

Before the appraisal is handed in for the management above to look at and grade you accordingly, you will be appraised by your own supervisor because he or she is the one who has been looking at your conduct to see if you're deserving of a certain grade or not.

We were all busy doing the appraisal yesterday and completing it because nobody has it completely 100% done yet. There are new information to be added, things to calculate, things to print and reprint and reprint (I cursed the printer for being few computers away coz it made me walk a lot of times). Everyone was fixated at their own pc.

But what got me frustrated in the end was not the appraisal or the fact that I had to walk up and down from the pc to the printer. It was my colleagues.


*update*

I hate wireless networking. I typed this whole entry on my laptop using the wireless network . I thought my work was saved every now and then since blogger is supposed to have this autosaving draft thing for clumsy people like me even if my wireless network is not 'on' all the time. Dunno what I accidentally pressed (one of those keyboard shortcuts gone wrong moment) and then half of my entry below the few paragraphs on top of 'update' is gone! But I wrote these paragraphs like more than half an hour ago so it should have been more paragraphs. Instead, I ended up with the original draft.

So right nw, I dont know if I should blame my unsteady wireless networking or blame this autosave thing that perhaps went on a sleeper mode when I was not looking. Hrmph....

But maybe coz I had been blogging for quite awhile just now so uhm.....it was like telling me 'enough is enough..I cant take it anymore' Still, I wasted my time writing quite a lot too!
Hrmph......

On top of that, as a final note before that wrongly pressed keyboard shortcut, I was writing about some impending news about my work, that I was telling about although just a line or two back then towards the end of August. It is going to be finalised but even after that so called breaking news in a few days time, it will still be hanging in midair, for the rest of us, and the uncertainty will continue thereafter.

I'll update on that soon.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
