This is going to be a very 'bimbotic' post from me. Don't do it often so I guess I have the right to!
After we moved desk, I have a new girlfriend sitting beside me now. She drives me nuts some days but we get along pretty well. On Saturday, she confessed and told me that she used to like my director and they had well..shared a few kisses! Until she found out his married! And he was the one who was wasted and making all the moves etc etc! That bastard..next time i see him in the kitchen i should ask him...so how was your holiday? Spent time with your family? How's your son? Heard he's really cute! !#$^&^&&#@!
So anyway, this director's already sleeping with another manager and she's kinda his mistress and she's been very hostile and staring at my friend at work! Didn't know mistresses have such rights! He goes to bed with his wife everynight anyway! Oh well, women who are close to their use-by date behave strangly and will never be easy to comprehend :p Anyway she complained to HR about this director which explains his behaviour these days, keeping to himself and be content with a wife and a mistress!
Reckon we should start a sitcom about my workplace, will be very exciting. We'll have another company function next week so it will be exciting. Free flow of alcohol for a few hours is always exciting and messy at the same time :p

tired...
Work's been keeping me out of trouble! We had such a huge day yesterday that we received more work than last year's June 30. For those who aren't aware, June 30 is the last day of the financial year in Australia and it is always a mad rush! Being the most senior member of my team, I've been handling so much that it is ridiculous. Worked 6 days last week and will be working half day on saturday this week. Oh well, at least I'm getting paid overtime so I'm not complaining.
Signed my pay increment letter yesterday and well, can't say i am happy. I still feel that I deserve more! We're going to hear about the new pay structure around June so I'm hoping that I'll get another payrise in June. A quarterly payrise is always good! Been ripped off for a long time!
So well 1 1/2 more days and I'll be on holidays! I have so much to deal with that I don't know where to start. At least I am excited and motivated this time. I have so many ideas and so many things I want to do and I can finally sit down and deal with them so I can't wait!

hmm...not sure what's next!
And the sega goes on...I think what we did might have a positive outcome. That we managed to let someone who is impartial knows how we feel and got the message across. She came to speak to me a few times and at least I feel that I am being told what was going on about certain issues. I guess at the end of the day, i don't question the fact that she wants to be a good manager and wants everything to go smoothly. We might have started on a bad note but hopefully, things will improve.
So i'm safe for the moment..until someone spill the beans and tell her that i'm the culprit!

ekk..what have we done
Not too sure if I have officially ended my career or I should start emailing my resume around and get a new job because my life will be a living hell from tomorrow onwards!
Our director has been nudging us to speak up about the issues we have for several days. She has prompted us on many occasions but we have managed to avoid the topic and ignore the issues. We have a lot to say and it is not a very healthy working environment as everyone is unmotivated and morale is at an all time low all because of my manager's management style.
So well, we dropped the bombshell today. We had meetings with her and emailed her a massive email stating how we feel. I am the culprit and email was sent via my email. I read it and ensured that it is a very professional email highlighting our concerns and have clearly stated examples and how we feel. Copy and pasted everyone's feedback into a document as well so that it is just coming from me but it is a collective effort. Another team member had a meeting with her within the hour and so, our message was delivered and hammered in straight to the point. She assured us that she will be doing something about it and appreciate that we are talking to her.
Now the problem..the director got my manager to go see her and well, when she came back she slammed her notepad on her desk and went into the meeting room on her own, closed the door and made a personal phonecall. We knew we are dead after that. I am just wondering if she knows I sent that email and if she knows, my life will be over. So well next step is..if my life is made a living hell after this, at least I know who to go to next to resolve this issue. Guess when i have no reservations of resigning, it gives me that strength to fight this war. At least i'll be seen as a leader for the rest of the team and who knows, it might lead to bigger things. My courage for being able to address issues might be rewarded?
ekk...

what happened to morals?
I have been disgusted by the news that are dominating the headlines this week!
(1) The father of anna nicole smith's baby is the new blonde guy
(2) 2 men charged with kidnapping and plotting to murder a high school boy.
(3) High school students in top melbourne private schools beating up other kids
Well I have to say that I feel sorry for howard stern. His name is on the birth certificate and to be told that the kid you have always thought was yours, isn't really your kid...SUCKS! I reckon for a mother to not even know who the father is of your own baby is sad. There is something really wrong there.
As for those 2 men who kidnapped the high school boy, I wish both of you will burn in hell. How can 2 GROWN MEN rape a BOY and do all those sick stuff to him while he's being held captive for over 20 days? How sick can you get? And to even plot and use acid to dissolve his body? I hope God, Allah, Budhha and whoever out there who can hear me to give this kid strength to carry on with life. The physical scars will go but the emotional scars will be hard to get rid off.
Xavier college boys. All of you are such typical spoilt brats that believe you own the world but can be summarised as plain dickheads! So by throwing this boy in the rubbish bin, wheel him around and kick him makes you king of the world? And by filming this whole episode and distributing it all over myspace, you tube and via mms makes you invincible? At the end of the day, all of you are lonely pathetic dickheads that are empty in the head and have nothing. You are the real losers! It is the studious ones in the bin who got beaten up who will go to uni, study medicine, engineering, law etc etc and earn more than you. And all of you better start praying that you have an inheritance because that is your only hope!
Wonder where all the anger came from but I just feel that people have gone way out of hand. We were never brought up this way and you will never hear of such things 10-20 years ago. Kids these days are so shallow and pathetic and there is nothing behind all that makeup and they are all talk. What happened to all the upbringing and morals that were handed down generations ago?

was looking forward to it but....
I was looking forward to going back to work. Went out for drinks with friends from work yesterday since it was Matt's birthday and realised, I actually have a lot of SHIT to deal with! I went back to grab some stuff from my drawer today, thought I'll check my email and yup. I should be busy running around just dealing with my emails alone on Monday!
Not sure if every other company is the same but I am sick and tired of being the only person who deals with all the complicated SHIT! Someone resigned on Thursday and 2 have gone for interviews. That's how things are. People seem to stay less than 1 year in the company and leave and idoits like me who stayed for has been there for more than 3 years have to deal with all the lack of experience and knowledge, train someone and by the time they even know something, they leave again. And in the meantime, I have to deal with their errors, complains, overflowing backlog and hence, an unhappy workplace. So while others leave, I stay and be rewarded with an unhappy workplace and complains and shit to deal with. Pay sucks as well and I'm underpaid.
Use to tell myself, do i have a choice, yes. I can leave or get transferred. And if i'm not doing that, then well maybe I shouldn't complain. It's just getting so hard to survive. It's mid-apr now..another 9 more months and I'll be packing my bags and leaving for greener pastures. My fav slogan on my computer...HANG IN THERE MATE!!!!

I'm not cut out to be a housewife!
I tried grilling a fish for dinner 2 nights ago..turned the oven on, marinated the fish and 15-20mins later, the fish hasn't even cooked! Changed the oven settings and when the fish is cooked, it tasted disgusting! It tasted so fishy! I did apply salt and all to the fish but ekk.,..maybe the fish would have been better panfry than grilled! grr...made roast for dinner last and that turned out well. We had a feast! Pumpkin soup, pork roast, grilled potatoes, corn kennels..yummy.
I would trade all these just to go to work though. I can't stay at home all day long and it has only been 1 week!
