Before my blog is announced DEAD, think i better update something while I'm free today...
Free = I DO NOT need to WORK while sitting on my comfortable Executive Chair, listening to my fav. music, enjoying the peace in my room....hmmm... NICE!!
Has been quite bad since i started my new job on 17 Sept...
Firstly, the politics is really BAD!! My dept is an outcast... Seems that nobody speaks to the people in my dept... Even bosses sitting beside each other need to go communicate via email!!!
Secondly, my boss is an extreme quick-thinker... Just as you think u can finally settle 1 case, LAST MIN CHANGES!!! And on top of all the follow ups that you need to do, you have to coordinate the LAST MIN CHANGES!! Coordination is not like a phone call away... got to chase, got to check, got to seek approval...it's like repeating the start process all over again..HAIZ!!
Sometimes, due to this quick change of mind, i have to inform everybody about a change and HA... Mass email to everyone AGAIN to inform some MORE CHANGEs!! It just doesn't stop... that's why i can never finish my work for the day!!
Thirdly, 1 pair of hands to do so many things... and colleague from the same dept can come to tell u, THIS IS YOUR AREA OF WORK, NOT MINE!! You shouldn't be expecting me to do it, though i encountered the problem...
Fine, if you want to draw line but the next thing you know, I'm assigned to cover her stuff, share part of her work and contribute to the project and help out!!!
Lastly, I'm having less time to meet my friends and even my boyfriend. By the time i knock off, i only want to head home to rest my tortured brain!! I lack the energy to meet up with people or travel all the way down town to meet BF... He's also so busy. Simply no time for me.
Haiz..
People work and they gain recognition and appreciation (Good Job!!, Well Done!!), but Me??
My boss is SuPeR PERFECTIONIST and her opinion supersedes everybody's comments...(Isn't Art and design suppose to be subjective???)...
I'm glad if she doesn't show attitude and starts to tell me off for this and that!!! Not to mention APPRECIATION!!!
I will be going for my Confirmation Appraisal on Tues 11/12/07... All i pray for is to have a Justified Pay Increment!!! (though i do have intentions to prepare my resignation letter before hand)
Wish me LUCK!!
