bern: tis the season to jolly, fralalalala-lalalala.
bern: tis the season to jolly, fralalalala-lalalala.ironically, i am not. jolly that is. i swore i will not return to my depression and pessimism but i can so feel them edding away at the edges of my restraint.
everyone (well almost) is working or job hunting and i swear office work sucks. you sit there for like 9.5hrs from the moment you step into the office, on the computer... till 6.30pm. the lack of activity and boredom can only be minorly lifted thru the constant snacking of chocolates, biskuits and tibits and toilet breaks. no wonder they told me you'll grow fat working at the office, peeking up, you can see almost everyone munching in front of their computer screen, enclosed by the walls of their cubicle. i feel sorry for them really. instead of those office lunches where the entire department will depart together for some moderately high-class restaurant in the tv serials we always see, the truth is tragic indeed for these workaholics. i feel aghast seeing them eating in front of their computer screens (again !) after the appointed lunch-buyer comes back with their orders. it's so wrong, the lunch hour is deducted from the number of hours working per day, therefore they're not paid for working during lunch and yet they are ? workaholics !
one thing i realised is that jiajun is definitely right. i am not cut out for "office jobs" in general. i have to walk around every 3 minutes from sitting at my desk way too long. ROARS. save me ! counting down to the number of days before my contract ends. then another dilemmia. to just stay on and avoid the entire exasperating job hunting espisode ? which will be more gruelling as the period which you can work is shortened.
anyway, realised that this bank job pay peanuts only. no, a quarter of the teeniest peanut man. after donating (unwillingly) to my parents, grandma, etc (x3 months), minus CPF, minus tranportation and lunch expenses, minus opportunity cost for happiness, excitement, sentosa trips, well.... negative ? wahahas. money is never enough for my 5 pages long wishlist, prettily typed on microsoft words. :D
bleahs. the rest have no time to blog, so i guess i will be dominating this domain for awhile before i remind them, not too gently to blog too.
