Another backdated post: Work updates
Updates? On work?
Yes….I’m back at work. Yes, back to the same place, same job. Been back for a month now….well, technically, I’ve only been working for a week or so cause the first two weeks were spent waiting for my email to be up, etc., the third week was Hari Raya, etc….=)
Did anything change after I left? Well, there are some new faces, and some old faces have left. My boss resigned, and her boss resigned too. Some…urm…promises made were not fulfilled. And suddenly, our team seems to be a little adrift, a little discontented.
Will I continue? Will I leave? I honestly have to say that I don’t know. I feel a sense of obligation to the company to come back even though (almost) everyone tells me that it’s ok to just resign without coming back. But I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. So I’m waiting till this transition period is over to see how everything goes, waiting for the dust settle, so to speak, before I decide what and where I would like to go/do. In the meantime, I’m taking it easy…and you know what? I find myself less stressed out. Certain people and certain things do not irritate me as much anymore. Of course, some things and people will never change…but they provide fodder for interesting talks over coffee and tea, so we accept them for their entertainment value…hehe…=)
Of course, the downside about being back to work is the lack of time, time, time! And waking up early in the mornings. And thinking where to go for lunch. Oh yeah…and of course, having to actually do some work…*grin*. No, I’m kidding. I think I miss having time to do my stuff more than anything else.
And inevitably…the same thought that went through my mind before I left is playing in my mind again: “Work work work…there’s really got to be more to life than this”.
