Lately I've been contemplating thoughts on changing my job. Sure, it was rewarding for a while. But recently, I feel my career's going nowhere. Maybe a change of scenery will do me good. I might go for one that's not in my industry though. After I've re-discovered my passion(or whatever it is that's missing), I'll come back.
Whether or not the above will come true, it'll have to wait until after bonus time. Duh. I've slogged, well sort of anyway, I deserve my reward. Maybe it'll help me decide whether I should stay or go. I really do like my job, it's (well, used to be anyway)quite fun to meet all the different vendors and widen your professional network. Plus, it challenges my mind, the different ways I can think of to go about solving one problem. But now I mostly feel unappreciated due to my new boss.
It's not that he's difficult to work with per say, but sometimes it's exasperating when you need a decision for something urgent and he hems-and-haws until the last minute just when you are about to tear your hair out. Sigh. I've lost count of the number of times I've to stay back and complete stuff because he needs 1 fucking week to say yes or no. Or the fact that he's a Yes man.
Yes, I'll get my staff to churn that report.
Yes, my staff can gather all the info for you.
Yes, my staff can do anything you want.
Yes, my staff do everything for you so you can take credit for it.
Yes, my staff will roll over and play dead for your sole entertainment.
For the last time, my department is not fucking Wikipedia. I don't give a shit that you don't know where Tanjong Lampas is. I don't know where it is either. You think I'm your bloody personal encyclopedia? I'm being paid to monitor the rates and advise anything related when necessary. Oh, and occasionally I try to assist my boss to expedite issues at hand(believe me, I try). But I'm not paid to stop incompetent fools from embarrassing themselves. In fact, I relish in watching(or reading emails of) people crashing and burning.
But whatever.
My old boss has been asking me to join him. I'm considering. But don't go by me, I have a famously short attention span.
P.S I realised I've lots of pics in backlog, some dating from pre-birthday(Sob!). Gonna upload them soon. =)
P.P.S I've just realised I don't have a label just for ranting. I always thought all I did was rant in here. Hehe.Labels: deep thoughts, ranting
