It Is
It's great to be able to get out of the main island and lie on the sandy beach on a Monday.
I had been looking for this break for sometime now. Work sucks big time, and it doesn't help when your boss continues to feed your client with options to change her mind, and you are the one who pick up the pieces. Fortunately, I had already planned to get a day off this month and spent it in Sentosa.
The weather was cloudy for the entire day, and we only got our fix of sunlight after waiting for 3 hours. Meantime, the cool breeze kept our idylic minds away from work. That is when the topic of work came up during conversations.
Somehow, it woke my mind, and I was reminded of my plan to leave the current company next year. And also reminded of my still-stagnant translation practices :S The topic was mentioned later, and I got to hear that my boss has been ignoring calls made from a company in which my friend just started working in.
It was his typical attitude. If it ain't a big name, he couldn't be bothered to follow- up. I feel embarassed to hear of such things from the friend. I thought myboss could have at least laid down options for the client. And this further pushed the idea of leaving the company further.
And then one situation led to another, and I am now in a very deep mood to want to be with someone. You know, this kinda thing happen.
So now, I will go to bed, with a new acquired skin tone. Imagining what my colleagues responses will be if I tell them about this client. "See, he did it again!" "Say what relationships are important... He himself is couldn't be bothered." "He only talk big lah!"
I can't live in a life like that. Nor can I work with a person who has such attitudes at work. What more, a leader, the owner of a company.
Something to sigh about my life.
