no weekend avail

have been working through the weekends - well, not exactly entirely. But, having to work even on a sunday nite's really suckie.but well - what to do. Come to think of it, if the company i work for isn't that crappy, think i'm okie with it. on this note, i think i better forewarn you that there's more whinning to be done in the next few para.

anyway, i think everyone would agree with me that the firm they are currently with is crappy. well, you shld compare with mine - no increment across the board for the past 3 years, no bouns, no annual appraisal, no leave carry forwards to the next year.. what else. . . i think that's abt it. I guess the worst portion is, its low morale for everyone here. Everyone's ditching the sinking ship right now. For me, alas, i have yet to find a haven. My motivation in leaving, isn't because everyone here has left, or leaving. But i think i've just maxed out in terms of mundane-ness in its work. Having manage to force my company into doing a systems migration and upgrade, and coming up with the template for the revamping of the website, setting all the standards and procedures and IT policies needed to be set, think my time's up to leave. After all this major stuff, i'm sure there isn't much to do around besides the usual maintainence. I'll be bored stiff. I have to look for something that holds more challenge then this. For goodness sake, i'm a 1/4 of a century old - i think i need excitement in the job i do. . i don't need mundane-ness, don't need stability, don't need fix work hours. I need challenges, need problems to pick my brain, to share my time.

I know, i do sound a little insane. But hey, i really do need that right now.

A colleague of mine, and a close friend has decided to tender this coming wednesday. I'm happy for her that she's found a job - one that holds prospects, growth and exposure. Really am - at least, she's not reduced to an "office boy" - like everyone here treats her. She's an honors grad mine you. She deserves more, and is capable of more. I'm looking forward to her moving on. and get out of this place.

For me, to say that i'm not affected at all isn't that accurate. I do feel upset, however, i think my gladness for her getting a new job is much greater then the sadness that i feel to see her leave. Before you think i'm the goodie-2-shoes, puting-other's-first-before-myself type - stop! i hate to be sterotype. But really - this calls for a celebration. . . at last, she's out of this.
