ka-ching...

so.. everyone assumes that with the new job.. pay has increased.

I would have to agree that it is the case. On the other hand, work will also increase. So that's the trade-off... I suspect.. my work life balance may become even more erratic and increasingly, I will suffer more and more from the syndrome, which has been coined the "Yuppie Flu"...

Moving on.. with the recent craze with Tokio Hotel.. been thinking of taking some German lessons again, you know, refresh my memory... but was cautioned by mommy dearest to hold off that thought till after I start at my new job, when I am aware of it's demands on me and if taking on language lessons + work is possible. which kinda makes sense.. but of course, I am not always very logical when it comes to my "recent craze" syndrome...

OK... anyway.. tons of work to be done.. and I absolutely refuse to do it..
waiting for two things this evening.
1. Dinner
2. F1

D-day tmr...

there is this major committee meeting tmr, for which I am working myself up into a frenzy about (yes, I know I tend to work myself up into a frenzy for a lot of things)

That and the fact that I haven't watched many of the movies, that I really ought to have... when the meeting is tmr (thank god it was postponed from 10-11am, which leaves me another hour to rush)...

and the reason for this blog? Procrastination.. Just got back.. had a bun (am wondering if I shoudl make myself some oat porridge seeing as I would get hungry in an hour or two)... and now.. running the movie "Frozen River" - artsy type of film, and trying to decide if it's a good movie or not.. bah...

and I started to blog.. cuz.. you know.. I am leaving my position at the end of next month... and so.. why am I still so busy? I wish I can switch off already... can't wait for the new person to come in... so sleepy now..

Oh oh!!! Recent craze.. Tokio Hotel! :) I like!!!!

the update

yup, went and did the dirty deed today. Signed my life away... to a new organization.
Tmr, I shall have to speak to my boss's boss. then prob on Friday, that dreaded letter will come out.

On another note, I did call my boss today, having promised her previously that I would let her be the first one to know. Well, my closest colleague knows.. but I guess that doesn't quite count...

So tmr, will be tiring... I can imagine. Cuz of these changes, it's been quite draining emotionally, from making the decision, to deciding, to sticking to the decision. To review how best to manage the change, so that hopefully, everything remains amicable, to provide a proper handover, to close as many open cases/loops as possible.

Plus.. despite being sleepy and tired now.. I will have to stay up till 11, cuz I gotta bring Sapphi down. Past two nights, my family has been sweet enough to help me bring her on her walks.. cuz I crash out at about 10pm.. despite my best efforts to stay awake :P

Oh no!! another emotionally draining day coming up... *bah*!!!

changes are a coming...

blogging this sluggish monday afternoon as everyone dumped me and went for their lunch.. leaving me all alone... bahh....

you know.. the funny thing about the biscuit shop... since we have "duties" there every weekend... I have gotten used to eating alone. Previously, I dreaded eating alone, and I always felt very self conscious about it... but these days, I am perfectly fine... but I did dabao and am now eating in the conference room, cuz I still wanna surf... hahaha.. and chat with friends online... since it is my lunchtime and I do want a break away from work...

oh.. and onto changes.. this wed.. I am going to go and sign my life away again... I will update again. It is quite sad.. at the end.. on my departure.. i wonder how many people would actually still treat me as a friend and miss me... Not that many I would think... but alas, that is life.

Frankly, there will be some that I wouldn't mind no longer being so close too? There are some.. where as workfriends, they are great.. but not so great as personal friends? Hmmm.. not quite sure how to describe it.. but of course, I will probably have to eat these words.. cuz my judgement of who is really good to me, and who is not, has been quite suspect.

Have not blogged for sometime and it actually feels quite therapeutic now :) I am rather sleepy, but am blaming that on the jetlag... hahaa.. although admittedly, I am always sleepy. Haha.

Moving on.. there will be a lot of things to learn, to manage and it's time to eat humble pie all over again... that and try to act and sound smart again.. fresh clean slate.. time to start all over again... a bit more scary...

Realise that as you get older, the idea of change gets a little scarier each time... previously I embraced change... nowadays.. the inertia is starting to kick in and I understand how others feel... wouldn't it be easier and safer to just stay the same and be in the same position? Wouldn't it be for the better, rather than to work yourself up just to generate some change, when noone even knows if the change is for the better or worse?

111pm.. still another 10 to 15 mins before lunch is officially over... la di da... you know what? mebbe after this position... I can start to enjoy movies, have time to follow the EPL, and start on my drama serials all over again!!! *well, one can always hope...*
