And just like that we’re in the last week of January! The year seems to be zipping by and I’m powerless to slow it down…

My parents went back home yesterday evening and I’m feeling a bit sad! I don’t know when I will meet them next, hopefully they come back to Singapore at the end of the year or we make a trip to Mumbai!

This week has been particularly bad – I made bad food choices, which reflected in my weight and blood sugar readings and then I was sounded out for something by our HR which I am not happy about, which in turn made me eat more bad things! Need to seriously work on this for this next week.

At work, part of my responsibilities include doing admin work. My previous boss was good enough to recognise that this is not what I trained for or what I have experience and so made it a very small part of my job – the other 80 to 90% was stuff I wanted to do and was good at. Now the talk at work seems to be since I do not have a boss (my ex-boss was promoted and moved away to another country and his successor is not in place yet), I should be doing the admin work for someone else. They mentioned it was for an interim period, but I have my doubts. I am not qualified, nor trained for this and so I told the HR lady that – it is not fair on the new person who may be expecting someone who can do this job 100% and by someone who has experience in this. Lets see what the outcome is of this.

I have also decided to bring forward my plans for my career. I was going to wait till around August/September to set things in motion, but will bring that forward by half a year. More on that when I set things in motion and things start falling into place.
