Thoughts of my Career

I already lost my target in working life. Nowadays, working is merely my responsibility. I have to commit the tasks that assigned to me. I do not have passion to go further advance. I was not like this few years back. I had career vision, I knew what I want to achieve, I set the target and work hard and smart toward my objective. Well, that was the past.

Now, I lost my motivation, I can not do what I plan to do. At the end of the year, we will have review session with boss, to evaluate the performance of the year, and planning for coming year. For me, the planning still pending as a plan. How come so difficult for me to implement those task? Am I not efficient? Or am I too efficient and need to take up more responsibilities? My interest is to involve myself to explore deeper to my domain knowledge, so that I can know how to improve my current working process, make it better, make it more productive.

I am very tired of my daily routine. It is repeated exercises. Attend more meetings, eg: strategical meeting, discussion, sharing... Sometime, in the meeting, only see managers arguing. Sometime, in the meeting, talks a lot, but end up, no outcome. Sometime in the meeting, there is other small group discussion among peers, 6 person in the room, but 3 different group discussion, where should I be in?? Troubleshooting, support user or developer and most frustrated is to assist our so called "support team"!! sigh..

Too many complains uh.... So, why am I still stay in current company? I think I already lost the desire to pursue career advancement. I am satisfy to secure a job, everyday complete the assigned tasks and meet deadline.

Recently, a buddy gave me some thoughts; I should have to plan for my career. If boss can not promise me anything, then I should plan for myself, if do not have time during office hour, then should use own time after work, plan for some self development or research into domain knowledge. I can not strain myself too much though. I been thru harsh time before, too stress out until doctor gave me sleeping pills and tranquilizer to heal my anxiety.

There is another one month till the end of the year, time to think of what I suppose to have in my career and plan to achieve it.

Waiting for Specialist

I had a follow up medical check up of my thyroid symptom. The blood report is good. :) Previous visit to the hospital, I had spent 5 hours there for doctor consultation. This time break the record, 6 hours!!! I was in the hospital at 7.30am. The registration was started at 7am, I thought I was pretty earlier, but after I got my number, the registrar told me, my estimated time of consultation was 11:55am... oh no, have to wait so long... again???!!! Sigh... I went to their cafeteria to have breakfast. They serve vegetarian food only. I had porridge and soya bean milk, light breakfast, so that I won't fill too stuffy when sit and waiting. Read newspaper to pass my time. Buddy called me at 10.30am... haha.. just about time, I was so bored, we went for Lor Mee at Burmah Road, inside Kedai Kopi Hai Beng . The serving was fast, within 3 minutes after order. :P Or maybe at that moment, not many customer. Buddy was very tempted to try this Lor Mee few weeks ago, finally we had it. You can...

Weakening

Why I always have endless tasks on hands? One haven't done, boss assigned another one. And the next day, assigned a new task again, seems like he forgot I still have non completed assignment. :( Oh ya hor.. He recalled, "never mind, that one can wait, do this first." Oh oh.. I hate that excuse. Wait wait wait... eventually, I need to complete them somehow. The longer the time, the more tasks accumulate. He never consider how many effort I needed to complete the task, always think I can do magic, all task can be completed by fingers click. I extended my working hours, try to complete the assignment by the end of the day. Everyday, I will have to deal with many unexpected issues, if I do not solve them within a day, the next day might have new issues, and next and next.... arghhhhh.... headache.... I am so tired, I feel so weak, mentally and emotionally weak. Recently, people around me keep on telling me that I look so pale. I think I really look terrible. I know...

太委屈

工作受委屈了,心情低落到谷底。在办公室强忍着泪水,把手头上的案子都处理好后,已经快九点钟了。开着车,终于崩溃了,一路哭着回家,一直哭到深夜。没好睡,隔天起身,心情还无法平复。回老家的路上,泪水还是断断续续的。 一朝得志,就忘恩忘本。上司曾经走过我现在这个阶段的路,但他似乎已经忘了这工作程序,竟然质疑我的能力,认为我不尽责。火爆了,别人可能不了解,但他是过来人,竟然不了解我的工作制度!!! 我不知道我还可以撑多久。。。 回老家,有家人在身边,感觉好多了。虽然,我不会对父母提起工作的委屈,但,有家人在身边,我不会觉得孤独。
