Going to explode

It’s been months… I am without a maid.

On the work front, it is not so good as well. There are tonnes of things to do and I am the only person doing it. Why won’t they hire another person, or take the hardware related tasks away from me and give it to some guy in the office?

I did not sign up for this when I came to work here. I was suppose to manage at the most 3 websites and I now have more than 10. Salary did not increase 2 fold even after 5 years. With this kind of work load, I hardly have time to be creative to be honest.

It kills my interest to come into work totally. I applied for jobs and was called for interviews but have withdraw all of them in the past month. WHY? Having a sick parent at home means I need my leave to accompany my old folks to hospital almost every month. How am I going to do that in a new job?

I’m trapped. I’m doomed. I wish for a kind soul who can lend a hand. Give me a job which allows me to take care of my family? I cannot stop working because I need money.

Still hiring

After two months, the job ad is still turning up in Jobstreet and JobsDB. I was quite positive about the job scopes, the interviews and outcome. The only deterrent is the long probationary period and they are not flexible about it.

Anyway, it will be hard to find someone during this time. Most people, like myself will be reluctant to give up our bonuses for 6 months of probation. If the salary is higher than what I am getting now, with 3 months probation I would have jumped ship.
