Sunshine Through The Darkest of Curtains
This morning I woke up with a strong conviction that I will QUIT this job before it’s too late, before I suffer from heart or kidney failure or brain malfunction…or whatever that’s gonna take ME away from myself.
My intuition has been talking to me since day ONE but all along I fought against it cuz I didn’t wanna believe it.
Throughout the journey to work today (every other days too), I played different conversations that I’ve been constructing over the months to break the news to everyone in d office and I imagined their faces… Will they be shocked as I’ve always acted like I was happy and all and i suddenly tell them i don’t wanna be here anymore? Will they be secretly happy cuz they’ve never liked me anyway? Will they think that phewh I finally do not have to pay $150 for government levy for hiring a foreign worker anymore? Will they ask me to finish my projects before I go off? Oh well, that’s gonna be the aftermath of the news.
I was revising the conversation. Should I tell my boss I need to negotiate with him? That I realized I loathe working from 10am - 6pm everyday? That I’d prefer working from home unless I need to meet up with clients, etc etc. But telling him what I want in order to keep me on this job will make me look so overly-demanding and of course BITCHY ! As much I like working with both of my young bosses, I just think that this place is not a conducive place for people to come up with creativity.
I know i’m lucky to get this kinda working time, have kind,
non-discriminative and flexible bosses, and get to surf WHATEVER during working hours, but if the garbage car, the pork
smell, the dusty constructions, the rotten streets and hideous hookers
& prostitutes are all almost becoming your soulmates <– all of these do not spark any cool imagination nor get inspirational creative idea…i guess i’m just finding excuses…to leave? =)) Anyways, I wish I could take someone with me to work one day and show you how everythin is it like. It’s gonna BLOW YOU AWAY in a negative way, definitely.
