2017 Week 29 Update

This was another week where I was quite busy at work. I like being busy during the day so I don’t have unwarranted thoughts and get bored. Most days this does happen.

The bunch of people I am working with are a nice bunch, but they are quite set in their ways of what is their ‘job’ and what is someone else’s, which I find, quite frankly, regressive in nature. In today’s world, there’s nothing like that, and you just do what needs to be done. I guess things need to change and I am sure it will get there.

S has been having some issues with one of his friends and this friend broke a 12-year-old friendship over something so trivial that when he told me about it, I was quite shocked! I am sure when this friend realises their mistake, they will regret the words that were flung out and even if both want to revive their friendship, I am sure things will never be the same.

It’s back to another work week for me today and today I will be helping out a colleague in something she is doing. I do hope, it will be a good learning experience.

Have a wonderful week people!

I did my first offsite project this week and it kind of made me sure that I may not want to stay here in the long term. Things happened (that I don’t want to go into detail at this point) that now I am sure that unless things change, I will move out as soon as a suitable opportunity comes my way. 

The weekend was a very relaxing one, where I just binged watched the dramas I missed during the week. 

Now, here’s to a wonderful week ahead and hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead.

For some reason, this week, I was in a major funk. Things happened at work which upset me majorly and this was the reason I was upset pretty much the whole week!

The saving grace at work is my reporting manager, a lady whom I liked immensely, even at the interview. She is also new, under a year there and seems to want to make the changes that will make the workplace better. Also, the place I work has been merged with another organisation (this happened around two to three weeks after I joined) and so things are fairly chaotic right now. So I am hoping that things do settle down a bit in a while and things will get better. If it does, that’s good and I will stay there for a long time, but if things are still in status quo, then my target is to complete a year here and then start looking for a new position. Though with the last ‘looking for a position’ still fresh in my mind, this is something I’d rather not repeat anytime soon.

But I have decided to change my mood as well as attitude now. I plan to be proactive, have a learning attitude and don’t want to take anything anyone says to heart. I am going to learn as much as I can while I am here, after all, every place and job is a learning opportunity.

Life at home has become quite boring these days. I  wake up, get ready for work, get to work and then by the time I am back home, it’s already dinner time and I zone out after dinner. Weekends are taken up with doing the chores I missed during the week and it’s time again for the next work week.

Hopefully, I have more news in the coming weeks…Have an awesome week folks!

This was a short but intense work week. For some reason the week went by quite fast and I was exhausted every day when I reached home.

This week, twice, I realised that someone above me (God for me), is looking out for me. While I don’t want to go into the specifics, both times, I either missed doing something I would have regretted or wanted something badly and both times, almost immediately, I got signals from God and it happened to me! It’s at times like these, our faith in that higher power gets reinforced and becomes strong.

Other than that, I just lazed the weekend away! July seems to be a super packed month for me and here’s wishing to a great month!

I survived week two at work and so far, it’s been a good ride here. My reporting manager is very sweet but I suspect will turn to be a hard taskmaster. There are others too in the office, whom I am learning about as we go along. 

Since I didn’t have good flats to wear to work, I decided to get some new ones. I didn’t want to buy cheap ones which hurt and break soon so decided to splurge on some good leather ones. I brought lambskin leather shoes at this brand called Pretty Fit, which seemed to be a decent price and since the Great Singapore Sale is going on, I got the second pair at 20% off. This is probably the priciest pair of flats I have ever owned!

S took the children to see the Transformers movie while I shopped and they loved it. This ends their school holidays. 

We’re still in our extended weekend, but for those whose week has started, have a wonderful week!
