Life is going on as usual. I really don’t have a life anymore as it’s now Wakeup – Work – Come Home – Sleep routine.

In fact, I am quite behind in my reading these days. My 2017 Reading Challenge has been stalled since I started working and I need to start reading more if I want to complete it and on time. So I have been thinking of eliminating screen time at night and reading for an hour at least before bed. Will this work, well I will update it next week.

Work-wise, things are as they were, no real improvements there. But I am still optimistic that things will change and for the better.

It’s the start of a fresh new week and I hope this one is better than the previous one for everyone! Have a blessed week folks!

2017 Week 32 Update

This felt like a short week, one that started and then restarted again. This was because of the mid-week National Day holiday. I am always reminded about a friend who loved these mid-week holidays as she felt it rejuvenated her.

BB had his first Avani Avittam early in the week and the day after was the recitation of the Gayathri Mantra. He went late to school on the first day and missed school the next.

Work is ok, but I don't want to write a lot about the negativity surrounding work, so I guess work will not feature much in my updates.

It's a Monday so have a wonderful week.

This was quite a boring week at work, I still have not figured out what my exact role is. The work I currently have gets finished in a matter of hours and I have to figure out what to do the rest of the day. Roles are very tightly delineated in this organisation and one does not do beyond what you have been hired to do. This is something that rankles me a lot since I love a variety and am the sort who gets bored easily doing the same work all the time. Even if it’s the same work, unless there is some variety to it, I tend to do it very mechanically and switch off from it, which is what I  see happening here if things don’t change soon. I was told there will be a

I was told there will be a reorganisation happening soon which is the result of the merger which happened, so I am hopeful (or not) of something there. If that doesn’t happen, then I guess it’s just about marking time till I am here for a decent amount of time, doing what I have to do, and then leave when a better opportunity opens up.

Later today (or rather in a couple of hours), we will leave to do the pooja for BB’s first Avani Avittam. I have blogged about this unique tambram ‘boys and men only’ festival before and since it’s the first time BB will celebrate it after his sacred thread ceremony last year, it’s a special pooja. It’s a first for me too since I don’t have any brothers and my dad’s ceremony would have happened long before I was born, I am looking forward to it. I’ll post more about it later in the week.

Have a wonderful week and to any Singaporean readers, Happy 52nd National Day to you. This National Day is also a special one to me, one that I will reveal in due course.

This week was not so hectic as the previous week though I was kept busy throughout.

If you remember, sometime back, I had posted how a colleague was giving me grief and bullying me at work. In fact, I was really tempted to resign just to get away, but on Friday, i learnt that this person, in fact, had resigned! I was quite happy internally that my bully was getting away from me. That was why perhaps, the bully was quite chirpy and happy at work recently. It also means that in the last six odd months, the entire team of where I am (the department, not the organisation) has turned over. If I were management, I would definitely think about why there was such a high turnover.

I am also seriously thinking of redoing my life, especially when I get home. By the time I am home, it is dinner time and I am also quite hungry so I eat almost as soon as I reach home. Then it's either watching some videos on YouTube or read and bed. I feel I am not doing anything once I am back home and I need to figure things out.

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!
