Crazy November

It’s been a crazy month.

First was the bad luck thingy and a lousy birthday. Then came the company event which I had taken out money from my own pocket first.

Finally, the month is coming to an end.

Hotel booking is done for family outing during Christmas. Honestly, I need to go on a holiday with my bf more than my family because I live at home. I am doing work around the house everyday. I took leave to stay home so that my mom got to holiday with her friends. What about me? Why is everyone so selfish?

My room is slowly coming into shape although I still need to do more to make it nicer. Quite a bit of money spent on this as well.

The assembly work was done by the bf. I asked him to do this as my birthday gift. Yeah… I asked.

Which girl doesn’t want something special? That something special can be something else. It is not going to be the usual stuff that other people do. I have to do some improvising. However, it was rather difficult to go through the actual day with nothing special. :(

Pain in the ass

The more you find out what others are doing in the office, the more fire burns inside.

I do not understand why some people let others step all over them. Sometimes it does not pay to be nice. There has to be some professionalism in the office so that everybody gets treated like a professional.

Being in the IT department is especially true. where I work. I feel that those in the service line like customer service will share similar pain as well.

But IT? How is it so?

People treat us like dirt. When something is wrong, they call and scream on the phone sometimes. They demand immediate attention and does not even bother to ask nicely.

You know why? They see us as a bunch of useless people who stays in the same position year after year.

Why is that? Our managemen restricts the budget and does not allow promotion which will result in increment of salary.

So you can say fixing computers are all the same.

Hello?? A server is no where near a personal PC. Doing programming and designing for applications is no easy job and they are not repeated work at all.

I am sick and tired of all this not because I hate my job. I have an understanding immediate superior and you know what? I am here more like a pity to him because no one else cares.

Who cares when they’re not being treated with respect?

Others got promoted year after year. They have time for games and fun with tonnes of photos choking the office servers.

Our guys is doing the sweeping. We don’t have fun not because we don’t want to. It is because we are too damn poor to even have a cup of Starbucks after work.

Do others know? They probably think that we’re getting what they’re getting and we’re so bad in our work that none of us deserve recognition and stay in the same job forever.
