shelter and food

a serene holiday... didn't go anywhere, didn't do any particular interesting.

in fact... had done quite a fair bit of reflection. work.

never had the feeling of being needed so much in the company... that's because there isn't anyone besides the 3 of us. and i wonder why i have stuck there for more than a year. anyway, i told my boss that i'm bored doing what i'm doing and and would prefer to do something different. and if situation allows, he has to 'transfer' me to another department.

the company is moving soon, to bangsar. is a whole lot nearer. much much nearer. at least half of the travel distance. (see how much i've dreaded to move / wish that it's much nearer to where i'm staying?) and by moving office, hopefully things can take off from there. by which; find more staffs, quality staffs. not that the previous that has left us are bad, it's just... well, it's kinda bad, when the only choices you have is people from India, uncles whom retired, aunties whom are homemakers, and fresh grads that doesn't speak english.
at least we get to hired people.... during time of desperate measures.

guess the saying of 'don't work till you are irreplaceable' is quite profound. it's not that i'm really good at my job, it's just that i stupidly enough to say 'yes' to the job at the very first place.

things that i did not like...
1) started of with a very low basic.
2) workplace is freaking far.
3) not the job scope that i was looking at the first place.
4) low pay... oh, i'm repeating.

things that compensate...
1) excellent boss
a) brain washed me that HR is boring jjob during my first interview.
b) willing to teach, and has patience to do so.
c) benefit that i never thought i might ever get.

oh gosh.. i stayed with the company because of my boss. well, it happens rite?

the other reason i stayed is because... i really don't know what i'm good at. business development? marketing? sales? admin? kiasu and kiasi can't find a job.

i admire those people that knows what they are doing, and what they are talking. maybe i should have stick to doctor, lawyer.... those profession that it is what it is. no need to think.

maybe i should just go to some kampung and build a cabin, plant some plants... that should do it. that's all you need to survive right? shelter, and food...

worth while to think bout it right?

I stay because of my boss too. Though I don't really like the way she lead, but she is inspiring and gungho.

I do believe ppl leave is because of push factor. If your relationship with your boss especially, is better than okay; it's hardly that we don't stay.

Build a cabin and planting is very tough job to be. Think twice before you consider :)

Anyway, Happy Labour Day! It's has really came to me that I have been a labour for 8 months...
