Sequel: Work

I went to work. for one week. ok, rein that laughter that is threatening to explode because i did not say i quit. I am still on the job though the piority is now shifted to PSF's upcoming production. Wonder what this almighty job i have? Think no firther and look no further because lo and behold, unveiling... Selling donation tickets! ok, once again it's not the mediacorp glamourous career nor the executive in business suit kind, which fall into the category of the most desirable jobs that people 'claim to yearn for'. They do not understand that these jobs are not some swanky, waltz into the office just before noon with sashimi on the desk and manicure done 'bee-you-tee-fulll-lee'. A friend once said to me: "Every job has it's pros and cons. No job is perfectly-tailored for the individual. "

It's quite true right? I mean yea, you have to like the job too. Like a relationship takes two to clap. A job and the jobseeker also shares the similar bond. It's no use pushing yourself mentally and physically for a job that you have no liking for and even to the extent of repulsion. This will just take you no where.

In life, try everything at least once and live the moment happily. Why bother getting scrunched up over some unhappiness and let it ruin your day? In the end, you are just getting cross with yourself... This is what i will not do.

So, even though my job is not even near to glamourous or ritzy, i still think its ok. Though admittedly, today i went to work being hard-up and decisive about my decision to quit as the promised one week is up and i need to attend to PSF sessions ans stuff. I even prepared my well-rehearsed script that i wan preparing to launch on my boss but... things changed!

And, i did not quit. Want to know the factors involved? haas... such a teaser! Ph, why are you doing this? ok... enough crapping.

Number 1: Someone's words of encouragement.

Number 2: A bunch of colleagues who kept persuading me not to quit.

Number 3: The close-knit feeling amongst these people.

Number 4: The flexibility and 'originality' of the job.

Number 5: The little dough.

Number 6: The company's culture and its people.

Yea, though i must say this company is really made up of people just like you and me. They are all almost the same age as me, some younger or older by a few years. So, i guess it's kind of easier to relate and all? That's just my analogy with no back-up research...

Confusion...

<>

What i like is not reflected there.
What i admired is just a facade.
The signs are soft and flickering.
But, i guess that's just my own wishful thinking...

Because i guess there's always been that zero in between.

It's just too far off the beaten track.
Not what i always wanted.
Did my expectations change with that?
Or is it just a moment of folly and immaturity?

Please give me a sign!

- Sorry, just trying to be cryptic and all wise- sounding.
