...disappointment

I am actually in the office now, really tired from writing ‘store procedures’ (some script to patch tables in a database(a physical memory in computer where u store data)).. hope my explaination helps for those IT illiterate…anyway, I am all demotivated and burned out. And I want to say…’life’s aint easy, and I want to stop coping’….

For those who doesn’t know, I’ve been assigned to a project in Netherlands, Rotterdam. Am I looking forward? Not really.. and many say want to swap place with me, others said it’s a lottery. But well, I don’t feel it? Is it because I am by origin slow and the feeling will only sunk in later? Right now, I don’t feel anything besides being scare. Anyway I might not take up the role, I will have an answer tomorrow.

Anyway..yesterday the career promotion list is informally out. Once again, I am not in that list… for the 1st year, well fine, I did not work hard enough, but for the 2nd year, I have really worked my arse off. Monday to Sunday 8am till 10-11pm, sometimes till 1am 2am.., I even work when my sister was in the hospital cause they did not allow me to take leave, and on many occaosion, I work when I was on mc nose bleeding, fever flue, other times? I took over a consultant’s job when he left, took over a 3 years more senior lead’s position when he resigned, took over experts positions who are too expensive for the project when the project has no money to sustain them…. All because I was a cheap labour. I did not mind that, because naively, I thought it was an opportunity for me to learn, to show that I am capable. But the result? My manager went for holiday during my rating period, and the senior senior ones cant see what I’ve contributed, therefore, I became insignificant. And that resulted in… khoo bin wei is an ‘average’ employee. Well, why didn’t I leave the company when 5 out of 10 of them in my team left? Why was I foolish enough to take over their job and was naïve enough to think that when u have done your best reward will soon come? anyway, I m truly disappointed. I should have seen what they saw coming. DAMN!

Anyway it’s my remaining 3 days in this office. I am not sure if I am feeling glad, but I m darn relive to get out from my current damn role. But not so when it comes to friendships and parting with the ppl here. I m just so lazy to start all over, new environment, new place, new challenges, new people… feels like the energy has been drained out of me. Nothing I have done is being valued, will the same damn loop happen? I cant forseen! Help?!

since 2 months back I’ve been under that bitch, I haven’t been performing at all. I just dislike working under such ppl. I come to work in the morning no longer by 8.30, but 9.30 now, and I go home at 6.30 or 7, no longer 10pm anymore. Work on sat and sun? when I have the mood la.. ask me to die out deadlines, u beg me la. I work at my own pace now. I m not hoping anymore cause there’s just no hope here!

So why am I still in this firm? I don’t know? Ppl say in other project, life’s going to be better. But well, I really cant afford to wait year after year hoping for the next better role? I’ve got to seek it. It’s Just a matter of time and opportunity. I am all bad mood and pissed. I’ve been drained and sucked out of energy.

And I just read the news at the side of this blog, on some kitten’s eye being digged out, abused… then some of my feeling of dissentment has dissolved and I started to curse that bloody sick guy who digged out the kitten’s eye ball. Well, life’s so confusing and so difficult. Damn.
