1 Jan till 23 Jan 2013



Work has been overly worked.
Well, my boss is dreamy....
I mean, don't go all "Ooooh and Ahhhh" on me,
typically, we all get shitty bosses
the type that either
1) bitch like hell and nitpick
OR
2) tell you to do things but expect you to yank the moon from its orbit, actually.

But this one, over the close to 3months,
has been nothing but kind.
No, actually, kind is an understatement...
I think, he is more inclined to be known as
patient / understanding / creative / FUN / just great company to be around
(I choose all of the above!)

In fact, I am unsure why either but
I need to get up to speed,
maybe it's coz I want to seek some zen in my life
thus I am a tad late in handing in a couple of my projects
or for that matter that I feel a little burnt out, mentally.
Like there has been days (actually make that a prolong period of 3 weeks now)
that I feel like I am there, physically
but mentally, I am somewhere in Bali / Taiwan / Korea / Phuket
I mean, we all can use balance right?
So my method of heading out for exercise, puts me right at zen. :)

I mean, I am human, at the pace I was at
I am grateful I can keep up and pre-conceived some ideas
even before it is put in place and hopefully impress!
AND I HAVE NOT gotten sick (Thank God, Amen!!)
Oops, actually I just did, one day... crazy mad fever.

Point is, I love my job / work here at Gallery and my boss.
I don't think he knows how much I love him, yet.
He has the chops and the guts to accomplish much
yet, he doesn't have the wind speed nor wings to fly at this moment
due to, the amount of dead weight tied to his legs....
juggling that many departments on a pair of however steady shoulders...
will certainly and eventually take its toil.

And I reckon the sight, ain't pretty.

I hope for his sake, he will hire the right people in sooner rather than later
and that those who do not feel for the hotel,
will eventually find their place elsewhere.
No point forcing a round peg into a square hole.

And I am learning alot from him.
And he ain't as jovial as he once was.... about 2.5 months ago.
But yes, I have grown heaps as a person,
I am constantly pushing my own boundaries and
accomplishing miracles at times (PTL!!!!)
and do same old same old stuff too.

And I have been owed stuff....
like where is my long awaited meal and Xmas pressie already?
Hahahaha.... aiya, I totally think he has forgotten.
But nevermind.
And 19 Feb, I assumed (wrongly) that it is for my Bird day.
Wrong! It is meant for a meeting. (Pengz)

But yeah, this trooper here loves her boss coz....
for a long time now, I have not gotten a boss who actually loves / trusts me
to do my job as well as I know I can do or challenges me to handle projects I never thought I can do and do exceedingly well (beyond what I imagine!!)
I AM AWESOME.... LOL.... however, God is even more awesome, coz HE created me!
So, I am grateful / contended and am in a happy place.
But, I am still swamped.
But the swamp aka my desk is looking a lot less cluttered now and better decorated.

But I still want my holiday.
Like a wee bit more days of leave would be great... hahaha...
let's see how things unfold.
Fingers crossed, I could be confirmed sooner rather than later.
:)
