New job in the new year
Technically, it's no longer a new year. It is 2 months and 8 days well into 2011, and you wouldn't call it new. It is already halfway through the first quarter.
Well, for a new start, I am now working at Orica Mining Services. It's been 1 month into the new role and seriously, I am feeling still a little lost. Compared to the old role at NYK, this is definitely less taxing in terms of 24/7 responsibilities and mental stress. But I am wondering how Orica could afford to pay much more when I'm doing the shipping admin work. The wage should seriously swop. NYK pays too miserly for such a taxing job!
I guess, you can't really escape from doing all these admin work. Even if the company turns E, there's still plenty of paperwork to be done. It's just that different companies use different systems. As much as I hate Shipnet, I think SAP is not making things any easier. And I'm forever hitting error messages.
Of course, the accounts people will never understand the urgently to arrange payment promptly. I am beginning to appreciate Suzuki-san a little. With his "un-reasonable-ness", at least, things get done. Partly, he's a Japanese, so the local accounts people have no choice but to oblige. People seriously need to understand our situation, man!
Most of the time, I am trying to smoke my way through so that time passes faster. But many a times, I still find myself dozing off. Plus the CEO has implemented a travel ban, the job seems a little out of expectations. I sometimes wonder, maybe I should be mild like Lestena. Come to work at 8 in the morning, then go home at 5 in the evening. Don't look for too much things and life gets easier. With my standard, there probably be no chances of me hitting big...
The wedding date has finally been settled and now it's down to fixing the venue for the wedding banquet. Our original "target" Pan-Pacific Orchard is already booked and we need to re-source a new venue. With him not around, it is a little tougher to have decisions done. Plus I'm always impatient for things to be settled fast. But at least, I found an alternative, for the time-being...
As usual, I'm always ranting about my mom. There's always something about me for her to find fault with. She really can spoil your day. I go through everyday ignoring her rantings, perhaps you can see it as tolerating. But I guess, after so long, I have become neutral and immuned. Sometimes I wonder, how I can take all these in. Why I must continue tolerating with her behavour everyday every moment. How do other girls live with their mothers? She nags at everything. I go to the gym, come home late for the dinner, forget to iron the clothes, didn't clean the table, didn't wipe the piano, didn't pack my table, didn't change the bedsheets, didn't wipe my shoes, didn't pour my milk, didn't spread the bread, didn't wash the toilet, didn't do this, didn't do that. I am sick and tired of accomodating all of her needs and requests. Why life is like that? I am tired of obliging to people's needs and expectations. I want to do my own stuff. I want to make my own decisions. Even right down to my attire, my hairstyle, she has something to say. Can't she just leave me alone?
Church - I feel that these 2 years in ORPC is worst... and maybe getting worst...my spiritual life is screwed up. Or rather, there's no spiritual life at all! Transferring of membership, for now, it is mainly for the wedding purpose. But I do like playing in the orchestra. However, there isn't the feeling of "bondness" and after the practices, you still don't know the people. How do people survive in such congregations? Isn't it boring?
I want to do something different for my life. I don't want to live my life empty. I want to do something!
