Rant: Time

Sometimes I ponder.. why are we not having enough time for ourselves.

Time is always split among families and friends and none for ourselves. If you do not spend enough time with either side of family, tongues start wagging. We have no time to date or in another words there is no quality time spent for each other. It became a habit that we have to plan our time in advance. It becomes worse when the husband is busy with his studies and work and for this I have to pre-book him to ensure his availability for the particular event, this frustrates me even further. Believe it or not, even though we are living together the time we see each other face-to-face less than 36 hours in a week. Now, tell me how I can do a proper time management if you think we are suck at it.

Then and now

Then
I was actively participating in roadshows and presentations.

Now
Two to three roadshows in a quarter and no presentations.

Then
Designing flyers and brochures.

Now
Filing, housekeeping, clerical duties, etc.

Then
A marketing executive in the company

Now
An ah-sum in the company

------
What's the point of doing an appraisal when there's no increment?
It seems like my boss doesnt care about his suboardinate.
He did not even mention or ask about how am I coping with the load of duties.
Everybody is coming to me for this and that and I'm sick of it.
I need to get my ass out of here quickly.

Cheapest labour worker

I am the cheapest labour worker in this big organization.
I am the most capable multi-task worker that you ever find.
With immediate effect, eighteen more duties added in my current job-scope and that's a total of 36. No increase of salary or whatsoever, in case you ask.

I am dragging my feet to work for the first time after working for 15 months in this organization.

It's not Monday Blue. It's 心理不平衡.

Rant!

CEO: It is still a mess here. Haven't you tidy-up the place?
Me: No, I have not.
CEO: Why not? Waiting for an invitation card?
Me (angry): Of course not. I need to confirm with Tham which are the things can be/cannot be archived/thrown (Tham is my manager and is on vacation leave).
CEO: Didnt he allocate some tasks for you to do?
Me: Yes, he did. I am doing en bloc letters, preparing for mayday event..
<<He walked away in disbelief.>>

Above was a conversation with my CEO Mr Tseng. I address him as Mr Tseng instead of CEO.
CEO, Chairman, these are titles. People who address them by titles told me it's a form of respect. BULLSHIT, i said.
Everyone has a name and that's what names are for. You want to respect a person or to sound/look formal, then add a MR/MISS/MDM/DR/PROF and not titles.

Anyway, I find this is a very stupid, meaningless way to check on employees. Certainly he has got better things to do like investment or how to capture member's interest and why must he walked all the way from his room to my workstation to check on me? Well, he checks on managers too, the things that they do, time they report to work, etc.

Afterwhich, I wrote an email to Tham to make a little suggestion: "Please inform the respective personnels that tasks have been allocated to me when you're on vacation leave. Otherwise, there are colleagues who thought that I have all the time in the world." I wonder what's Tham reaction after reading the email that I sent.

Enough of my rant. I feel much better now.

It's my day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!
