With the end of 2011 and the start of 2012 we see so many people posting on their Facebook, twitter etc that they are thankful for 2011 and are sure that 2012 will have more to offer.
Optimists? Or just merely posting cause everyone else is posting? Or did they really have such a good year i.e. lucky?
I guess for some they have been really lucky, some of them worked for it. If you asked me? I don't have much to say that would be good for 2011. So being thankful for 2011? I'm not sure.
My team, being my boss and senior left for another firm, leaving me alone to handle all the work load. A one man show literally.
Not knowing how to do all the work and with no guidance I had to struggle through. Resulting in a gastric ulcer. Waking up at about 3-4 am cause it was so painful. Realising that I was clenching my fists as I woke up. Not able to get proper rest.
Can't take leave or even medical leave in peace. There is a reason why the doctors gave me the day off! But no! Still had to call or text me to do work. When I'm on leave I'm working longer hours than I work in the office, or at least 4 to 5 hours a day. Cause i don't waste time traveling...What is the point of taking leave??
I was also forced to work a lot of weekends. Both at the client place and at home. More at the latter. Full time working... The only plus point about work, if you could call it that, is that I learnt a lot in a short span.
I'm probably quite valuable in the market now... But that would mean I could get all the same shit where ever I go now. Capable people really suffer at the workplace.
Even though the bosses know I have a gastric problem they still gave me so much work... Sigh. Overall work this whole year is bad!!
Friends wise, I'm not any happier being still stuck with that bunch of people. Although I do have some good friends. So, friend department wise I guess there is a plus and minus.
Tried making new friends, but with the work hours I have, what social life??
Also with the long hours, my colleagues are my friends now, and you know what they say bout colleagues being friends.
Some are ok to work with, others whether on purpose or not, act incapable and indirectly beg you to do the work. And also one has to be careful to ensure that no unwanted news ends up where it shouldn't.
I think that there is also a bit of fear on their end that the bosses may hear things from me as I'm in their good books....
On the love front.. This year there is nothing to talk about. I work with a majority of women. The only men I meet are either not available, or too old, or well not mature enough for me.
There was one as can be seen from my earlier posts, but we all know how it turned out...
Family, well what is there to say, I'm currently the only one staying with my parents as my siblings are both residents overseas.
One came back for Chinese new year and as usual every year pissed me off. My parents sided with him, cause apparently he only comes back once a year, so I should be more patient.
Load of bullocks, so should I move out too and come back once a year? There is a limit to patience, and where he is clearly in the wrong, you do not scold me!
Anytime his stupid precious son is mentioned. Even if I'm talking bout something else, I'll get scolded. Honestly, if my brother decides to move back home, I'm going to move out. Can't stand living in the same house with they prick and the old man blindly siding with they ass!
Also at the end of the year my sister came back, well she's still here.... So its more like is back lol for christmas and new year, well and I'm closer to her. We had a few disagreements but it's still better to have her around than my brother.
So family wise, same as usual.... No plus or minus actually. Well actually minus cause I've an asshole for a brother, and a dad that blindly sides with him. And people wonder why I don't talk to my brother.
Extended family? Well my cousins were nice enough to bring me out, cause I was stressed and overworked, depressed and unhappy. Also not very willing to go out with the people who call themselves friends but don't act like one. So I guess ok on this end...
So overall reading this post do I have to be thankful for 2011? I'm a realist, not my problem if you see me as a pessimist.
But all I'll say bout 2011 is that I'm neither going to thank it or cuss at it. But I do hope my 2012 will be better, everything else being the same... Hopefully better. At least let my love department improve please....
Thank you very much, and a happy new year!!
Enter the water dragon!!!
