Thank The Lord - It is a Glimmer of Hope

I would think I will be having good news to announce to all of you out here... (",) But, I can't disclose the matter as yet. Its in regards to the "inhumane" hours that I have been subjected to for the past weeks.

Cabin, thanks for the encouragement. Knowing a peer out there suffering the same fate does strangely help to sooth the frustration that I am having. Hmm... I guess, touching on a sensitive knotch, salary scales of those who are working shift hours tend to higher. Unlike mine - Mine basically remains.... which isn't fair. True. I still work 8hours aday. But, honestly, the effort to wake up before dawn breaks everyday to potter to work isn't the most desirable.

Honestly, I'm not too sure if its justifiable to be expecting more in terms of salary scale when on shift hours. Is it ? A couple of my friends said that no doubt the company should be... there are some who differ. Its a normal 8-hour day anyway. Which, is true too.

Of course, I'm not intending to demand for a pay raise as I don't intend to go on such a shift. There seems to be something going on up there, aka management. Fortunately, these "happenings" are in my favour. Phew! Thank God for my understanding boss.

I haven't really spoken anything nor voice out my concerns to him yet. I am thinking of doing so by the end of this month. At least, I've tried. Right? I'm planning to ask for a more sanely hours. Gawd! I do projects, not operational! True, sometimes, in project management, one has to adhere to the time zone. I understand that logic, but, I am also trying to make my body follow suit in this understanding.

Unfortunately, migraines start to turn up - tireness, fatigue sets in. I reckon some people are just pure nocturnal. Its like making a bat work in the hot afternoon. . . That's just plain cruel.

However, we're in the big, mean corporate world, what can I expect out of that ? So, well - i guess, those time shifts should be left to people who are able to adapt to it. For me, no deal. Its not as if I can't do it.... but if my body can't adapt to that sort of hours, then, its tough to move forward.

All said and done - all is not lost. Hope comes in an email annoucing some country allocation. (",) Whew! I'm still remaining status-co in terms of country jurisdiction. However, with certain trimmings .. and hopefully, all work well from there.

Do hope that in time to come, you wouldn't see me writing this blog at 6am in the morning.

Back to work... and more hoping. (",)
