Finding fixed lunch partners at work
Hi all, just popped by to say HIIII (nearly spelled popped as pooped)! :P
Nothing interesting to share now cos I need my precious sleep! ZzzZz.
Oh, actually I do have some brief updates before I head to bed.... I'm working everyday now! *sigh*. I need the money, so I'm working part time during the weekends as well. It's been really tiring, and I miss sleeping in on weekends! Oh well.....
Boss is still the same. Gets irritating sometimes. But I've got no choice. If I like my job, then I gotta put up with the "side nonsense". At least she sometimes KINDA cares bout her subordinates in her weird ways. (Which ppl dun get at times). (Sigh).
Apart from that, my lunch buddies at work are still not fixed. But I changed group now. Hopefully this gang'll be my lunch gang. They're younger. They're all guys though. And one of the guy there especially likes to tease me. My goodness! (he's married, ok). And he is so corrupted la. But SO very random & funny! HAHAHAha...
Ok, better go off now before I start surfing the net and become more & more alert. I'll regret that tomorrow, when I lack my precious sleep..... =P
Sigh. This week, she (superior) has tested my patience... She was talking, lecturing, scolding, loudly as usual (for 3 whole days already!). I sorta snapped back (gently) at her twice already. The 2nd time, even though my words were not "attacking" her, it was quite loud. I think the whole office could hear me. =\
I prayed to God to not let me snap at her and just show me the (nice & wise) way to talk to her in ways that she would realise her actions AND not be so mean to me. Sigh. =\
Need to be really careful this week. Seems like she's in bad mood these days.
Everytime someone asks me how's work? I always answer them "so far so good". I think that's the best SHORT answer I can give. It sums everything up.
- I'm learning more at work - I think I'm doing OK but I can be better - My colleagues in the office are mostly nice people - My colleague (same department) is a very nice & helpful person - My superior is not great & not easy to work with - But she's not THAT bad either. (some ppl will disagree though) - But really, compared to someone else, she's not EXTREMELY bad. - I think God put me here for a reason - Most importantly, I'm doing OK at work - Some work stuff/issues can be better, but it's ok.
By replying "so far so good", I don't need to go into details (because that statement makes a lot of sense to me), especially if it is inappropriate to share more information about work / my superior that frustrates me. When needed OR prompted by someone I think I can share more stuff about, I can elaborate more on that statement. If not, people would just move on to another question. Nice, eh?
Note to self: Yay! This post is actually written based on 4 words only ("so far so good")! I should learn how to talk like this at work. Then trouble'finders' won't get any juicy stuff from me, cos I'll just be repeating on the same thing. Yay.
Argh. I really wana blog, but nowadays that I have so limited internet access (and no lappie of my own that has wireless connection card thingy in it), that I am discouraged to blog. :(
Not because I don't have anything to blog about, it's just that I forget bout stuff that I wana say cos everytime I've time & 'resources' to blog, it'll be later. And by then, I would've forgotten what is it about! =\\
The upside, however, is I have lotsa time to rest when I come back home. Kekeke.. I don't check emails/chat online (which I miss...)/read and google random stuff/waste more time online.
So I don't know I prefer which life. Or may be I do? ... Prolly I'd like to still be connected with the resta the world, but in a way that I'll be online JUST to check emails & blog. Just my own things, and of course chatting & finding out bout other ppl's lives!
Ahh... Should I go get internet & pay for it? Would I use it as much as I think I would? May be I'd be too tired OR may be I'd be caught onlining till late at night & be late for work the next day... Where I'm still under probation... :P
I know nobody misses me online (cos I'm such a "hi-bye" friend to many), and my blog isn't personal enough to many. [ BTW, having a balanced prsnlty doesn't make me a "no prsnlty" person! :( ].. But I still hope this blog won't die off. =\
Hehe, I know this entry seems like I'm talking to myself (which I kinda am! Haha!).. I really am typing whatever comes to my mind first.
So... Back to the main thing. Just a little updates from me...
God has put me in my new work place to make me grow (up). :P Mainly cos most ppl working there are now not-so-young. So my mannerism at work should be more... "professional"..? And the most important thing is, God has given me a boss (immediate superior) that is SOMEWHAT difficult to handle. So I'm gonna have to be somewhat creative in handling my 'boss'. I duwana be mean (or sacarstic) like most other people are to her, cos I feel she's actually not THAT bad. Just prolly her way of approaching ppl.
It is quite challenging, for me. Cos I really wana be nice to her (and remind her how much God loves us all - so we should show our love to others as well). At the same time, I also need to becareful of not getting into any unwanted 'trouble' (Example: taken advantage of / be manipulated / get stabbed behind my back).
I trust God will be with me, since I still want to do this. I mean, I wouldn't be able to do this with my own strength, really. If it was just purely me & myself trying to do good, I might've already given up. Usually people just try a few times. And if in return the person is still the same way they are, you'd just give up and not wana care for them anymore, right? Why purposely treat them better when they do not appreciate what u tolerate & do for them? Right? ... ... But because of Him, I still want to be nice to her. Just pray that I will not start gossiping and will continue my efforts in making her realise He wants us to all be a better person. And there's so much more to life than herself! :)
BTW, happy father's day all! I'm going off now. Long(er) entry, huh? Hope I won't MIA for long after this! ;P Nitey!
