another fri tale

work has been piling up again. it funny how things like to come altogether instead of trickle in one by one.

i've opted to pack lunch so that i can spend a few moment to blog some thoughts.

the whole policy episode helped me understand some qualities a leader/manager should possess. i realised those leaders with certain qualities earn my respect. there are some who seems to be put there in place by chance, kept there for reasons i don't understand. i stopped to reflect upon myself, reminding myself those are pitfalls i must not step into.

i received an interesting call yesterday. i wondered who gave my name in recommendation, but thanks anyway. i fall short of the bar to command such a salary. i'm better off staying put where i am and gather the required experience.

that was one frustration i told christin about. employers still like to count alot on years of experience. i can be in a job for many years, but it may not mean i have progressed as much as i should. i'm grateful my current boss gave me a chance to prove that seniority is not everything. that i may not have accumulated those years of experience but i am driven to catch up. she has also given me plenty of exposure to different facets of finance. i can boldly say, what i have learnt in my 6 months with this current company far surpasses what i did in my ex-company for 3 years. i felt myself being stretched out like a rubber band to almost my max..and then i learnt to adapt myself to that limit. it was painful but fruitful.

if i move on, i will certainly miss my boss. she's a wonderful boss. =) a gem.

meantime, i am still wary of possible torrential rain. i am afraid i might get drenched out, so i must look out for possible shelters to run into.

i find it difficult to become someone i am not. dearie and i talked about famous bloggers and successful blogs. those that can earn through advertorial.

i can't seem to tune myself into the bitchy frequency. i'm certainly not pretty enough to steal enough attention. i'm not funny enough to tickle the bone. and i can't spin tales people will like to read. i certainly won't post a whole lot of photos of myself all over my blog, because i think i'll gather more queer than interested looks. i might become in-famous, for all the wrong reasons.

therefore, i think i shall stick to plain-o-me for now, like a piece of white bread with no spread. i don't mind if no one reads this. i write because i think some thoughts are worth remembering or to look back upon. it's funny to go through archives and read past experience and emotions. we see how we mature through the years. the blog grows up with me!
