Things happened at work that put all my revision plans off track. Was a terribly horrendous week the last one, and the strain going on put me sick in the body and mind. It extended through this week and Monday started off by landing right flat in the face. But things are picking up from here and after all that horrible stuffs, I see my rewards for hanging on near the corner.
Had a drink with this client I knew from the previous year's work. Was good to see him ard again this year and have someone to talk to while slogging in the field. His comments abt how I've grown in the year was encouraging, but what he said abt me being more suitable for something lively and on the go got me thinking (again)....
And oh yeah the big boo boo the entire team put up in front of them wasn't exactly something to be proud of...
Baby bro came on Sat, with lotsa goodies. And he treats this place like his own, sleeps in till 2pm, go out walk ard and comes back to bake things. Haha funny kid, was asking him y he came to Japan to do all these things he always did back home instead of traveling ard! No good answers, but yeah, smart people are always weird so we do not really have to kill a few more brain cells wondering. Anyway it's good news for me since I will get to enjoy good dinners on weekdays, if I go back early enough :P

Ally
Every time I come home and turns on the tv for some healing, i feel like ally is saying to me "every time u go out, break yourself into thousands of pieces, and come to me to find yourself... It always happen."

Dear Auntie Agony
I believe I'm facin some bullying at work.
Situation 1
There's a job whereby 3 of us are supposed to work on. I finished mine first and handed it up to the leader, and he said he and the other guy weren't able to finish up theirs coz they were busy with something else. I offered to help IF they can't afford the time. He called me up to take up the offer and I agreed, though it means stretching my hours even longer.
Next moment I know it, he's going back pretty much on the dot.
Situation 2
Have been working v closely with this manager who is pretty good at data Analytics. By that, I mean technically. Business process wise, she isn't good at understanding at all nor can remember a thing.
So during the process of our work, I become the boss dishing out technical work to her.
Oh and I must have mentioned about this manager who inserts phantom meetings into her schedule, just so that she can come to work late. She leaves for home on the dot as well! So hey, working with her is good if u don't need her around so I just work my way around and only tries to contact her if I really need sth. Even then, she's uncontactable half the time anyway.
So there was this meeting today with the audit team guys, who requested her to work on some stuffs. While they were explaining, she said to me (as she always do), "please listen and explain to me what they want later ok? I can't hear properly what they are saying.". Yeah stop smoking me, you either don't get their Japanese, or u simple don't understand the business background in the first place.
I put up with that, ended up drawing a diagram to let her know what she has to do, even downloaded the files and sent the links so that the baby sitter's job is done. Even negotiated with the audit team ppl for her deliverables, which I wrote down on paper and when I tried passing it to her, she asked me to mail it via email coz she can't read. Fine, will do so. Explained all that she needs to do and she said she understood them fully.
And after doing so much, you would think there's nothing else to be done right? Here goes the conversation before she left the office (before me!)
M: hey, I will call you tmr (sat) ok?
Me: *looks at her weirdly* please don't
M: why not?
Me: coz I want to at least spend my weekend without thinking about work
M: I will call you on your (personal) Line if I can't get u on the company phone ok?
Me: no, I wanna stay away from work this weekend!
M: だって、私が頑張ってるよ！
Oh great! So what happened to those times when I had to slog nights and weekends and my GW hol away just coz u want ur deliverables and when I send them to you, there's no reply till the next working day (few days later)? What happened to those times when u decided not to turn up for work or go back early by giving some lame reasons while I had to fend off those requests myself. I've been called the heroine these days (by others in a lovingly mocking manner) not by choice.
Now I have spoon fed u up to your lips, and u can't even let me have my weekend in peace?
Wake up your ideas!
