Human touch
Human is such a complex creature. Values, attitudes, opinions, character, open-ness, emotions, mindsets......
Had an enjoyable annual department meeting..but this time round, having worked for 1+ years there, it's not what was being said or updated by the big boss that interests me...regarding our work, renumeration, market and etc...but more about people. There will be a major re-org just for my branch where the whole top level play musical chairs. Change in leadership.
Our branch, had a great bonding session during lunch. As anti-social our branch has always been, all of us just gathered by the glass window (with wondrous views from 22 floors down) and have our lunch while chitchatting until we are being chased out. All of us are in relaxed mood as the whole bunch of us talked about driving. lolx...3/13 of us having driving tests upcoming...all describing our experiences..it's nice to hear from the bosses and fellow colleagues their funnie and interesting experiences be4 they got their licenses and also now. Suddenly, i was thinking..our branch had bonded further..we seemed 'closer' now...but then, our dear boss would only be 50% around due to the musical chair movement...sigh..
Attachments and that sense of belonging just grew with day.....sets me wondering, whether is the job more important or the environment? Job, users and those stupid wayang shows sucks. But gradually, im starting to see that all of us are just sort of, making a living. Not everyone like what they do..but they enjoyed being there.
And then, someone whom i only talked to once for my past 1+ year came around, called my name and bid his farewell. *stunned* I think his job must have forced him out of here...judging from how he always lose his temper to the users and contractors, its amazing that he is still sane. I was pretty worried he might bite my head off when i walked pass him. But today, he is like the kind, caring and friendly guy...probably coz he finally jie3 tuo1...haha. He've worked here for like so many years...i wonder how he managed to unroot all the attachments and all his great pals manz...probably to keep his sanity. lolx.
Been talking to more people nowadays. Heard about things. Realised thinking can be so complicated and yet so rampant out there, out of my world. Perhaps 'coz i've never really stepped out into the society yet. Have not seen what the real world is like. How the world works not being in the wave of anything. Cant help feeling fearful. Nervous. Doubtful and that great sense of self-doubt and declining self-belief. Self-complicating.
Im a confused ger. (Ha!what's new?) A half of me is telling me to be contented, to be happy with the things i have and keep things simple....enjoy life the way you want it to be.....seek peace and simplicity....
Another half is telling me to strive for my future, to get out and carve something for yourself..do something BIG, chase for a better life, achievements and success! Be a successful career woman!
Couldnt make up my mind...why are there so many voices talking at the same time?
Confused.
