Lately it’s been a little more enjoyable at work.. mainly because of this colleague from another department whom I’ve been interacting with on msn. Initially we exchanged our msn emails for the convenience of asking about work-related stuff. But recently we slowly revealed a little more of our “true colours”… Haha!! She’s 2 years older than me but I would still consider it that we belong in the same generation, which is why I believe we get along fine. Also, there’s this temp boy who’s waiting to go uni who’s working in her department… he’s quite cute (in a younger brother kind of way) but he is very capable! We were actually saying after he goes, the person he is primarily assisting will surely die. HA!!
I have not actually been sociable with most other colleagues because the department that’s nearest to mine already always form their own clique and if you know me well enough, I am really not one to confirm into cliques just like that. As for this colleague, because she is in the other department, she already often lunches out with one or two others so I think I would feel awkward joining in all of a sudden. And I believe the anti-social culture my boss has also plays a part. Considering this “department” has only me and her, I think it’s quite sad.
Looking for something better is definitely not as easy as it seems. Sometimes people tend to look at it only on one-side. It’s not always about whether the job seeker wants or doesn’t want the job, it’s not about whether the job scope or company benefits are attractive. Even if everything is perfect, the company may not necessarily offer the position. And while I admit I am currently able to get by well financially, added to that the distance to and from work being very near, it is these that sometimes make me reluctant to make the jump. There are very very minimal push factors other than the one major one. So if any new opportunity were to come by, I think it chances of it outweighing the pull factors of my current job are very slim.
Well, I guess I can only live one day by day.. It’s tiring to continuously search, and I only get the drive when I’m being pissed off by her.
What a bother..
