Ramblings

Today,

someone wrote in to compliment me.

I was a little emotional

after reading the forwarded email from my superior.

It came at a time,

when going to work feels like a drag,

though it does get better during work.

This should have come more often,

these sort of compliments,

not just to me, but to all my other colleagues,

who have worked as hard, and are as weary as I am.

I am not sure why,

but I am at a stage where I feel strongly,

that there should be an end to all these.

That day there was a VIP group coming,

their agenda was to review the Staff Welfare,

and we were briefed on what they will be touching on.

Disappointingly,

none of it is for our welfare.

Well-hidden behind those kind words "Staff Welfare",

is training, training and training.

We train you for your welfare.

This is the message I get.

Of course,

training is important for any working person.

But before you talk about training,

did you think in the shoes of others?

Working from 7am to 3pm non-stop,

and training from 3pm to 6pm,

is not effective at all.

We are human,

and we are tired,

because our job is not a desk-bound job,

that allows you to walk away for toilet breaks or tea breaks,

when you badly needed one.

Do you know that we sometimes

do not have time for proper breakfast and lunch?

I feel really sick of those bureaucratic talks and replies.

It's the same with MBT.

It's now about 2 months after his policies came out,

and did they work?

No.

Prices are still rocket-high,

and market is still as hot as it was.

I went to 中华医院 that day to get a 2nd opinion on my health.

Doc felt my pulse

and asked me if I am under tremendous stress.

Frankly,

I don't know what is stress anymore.

Wanting out but needing the monies,

not getting a flat but the clock is ticking,

and turmoils after turmoils after turmoils.

I feel sick.

But I am alright.

I have love to pull me through,

and I believe that if I do my part,

He will do the rest.
