love shack

Finally..after two months of working and having to climb the dempsey slope every day, work has ended! One of the greatest feeling I had was one of relief - that I could finally be out of the workplace. Not because the people there weren't nice or that working there was horrible; but the daily routine of repetition in work made me feel stunted, and made me feel that there was no space for me to either grow or bloom. Everybody says admin work is like that...but don't these people yearn for something...more? More than simply entering data and answering phone calls - it seemed like there was no challenge in each and every work day, but rather each day flowed inconsequently into a week, and you realise that a week..a month..and a year has passed.

Is there any meaning to this sort of work?

I've never felt as stifled as I had in any other temp job I've held - and such an irony too, as the people I've gotten to known here were the nicest ever to me in all my temp jobs. Such an experience makes me determined to not enter the work force with an office job, or at least give me one that stretches my mind and challenges me. I think I would enjoy meeting and interacting with people in my future career; at least there is a chance of getting out of the office.

Nevertheless, I'm glad that I've made a friend in this job, and someone whom I look forward to seeing everyday and someone who makes my work routine more lively. And she's someone who I consider as a friend and would keep in contact with. I'm sure the feelings are mutual :)

My boss gave me a Sheaffer pen as a farewell gift; and made me feel touched by holding a lunch party for me as well. She's the nicest and most down-to-earth boss I've ever known - someone you can talk personal with [tho' I didn't have the chance to do so]. Was browsing at MPH when I saw the prices of the pens..and it was an expensive gift, to say the least. Which made me feel a teeny bit guilty for being so glad to be not working there anymore. Hee.

Sunday is finally here! Which means that Monday, and Tuesday is coming soon! I'll be leaving for the island of Bintan on tuesday morning...which means tt dear kaixin will be helping me monitor my bids on the system. Hee. I've been looking forward to this holiday for so long that as the day draws nearer, I'm experiencing a feeling of calm. How weird. I thought tt I'll be jumping for joy and all but so far -nope- oh no. Is this how growing old feels like? -yikes-

I'll be on a resort island with the Boyfriend for 3d2n -big smile- :)

And when I come back, I hope to have a tan tt at least lasts for 4 months, thank you very much. Oh and I straightened my hair! It doesn't have the "rebonded" look [not for me!] but its still rather straight in a natural-looking manner. Must thank Eups for the stylecard!! xie xie ni! Which reminds me tt I'll be meeting the 38s next week after I'm back, after such a long and I'm sure we have lots to bitch and gossip abt! *hint: we're not the 38s for nothing, you know?*

Till then, enjoy the rest of the hols and I will mine! Hee.
