Ramblings

After the being stuck on the same project for so long and yet achieve so little, I'm getting depress or easily get irritated or sad. Like today I found out that I'm not doing a good job of handing over my current maintenance project to my new office mate. I can't remember the system well and kept fumbling the notes just to answer his question. Plus, my fellow office mate seems to be a little bit furious when I told him that he will sooner or later take over the whole system (now I showing only 1/3 of it). I requested a black and white statement from my boss, at least to prove that I wasn't imagining that my boss told me to handover the system.

Being in the office with people from different origins is kind of exciting at first. Then is started to be confusing. Till now, I don't know how to differentiate what is a joke and what is not. Ended up being labeled as a person who could not take a joke or two. I was sad and irritated. So is communication problem and confidence level dropping rock bottom problem.

But, I will let it be without a fight. Office mates who nicknamed me 'pig', I'll call them 'monkey'. Those who joke on everything under the sun, I told them off when they joke on things that in my standard they shouldn't joke about. Being in nearly 80% all males department, I do wish that my boss could hire some ladies (I think the guys have the same wish as well).

There's some interesting moments. I like to hear stories. Simple stories about their hometown, studies and lifestyle are always interesting. Sometime after hearing the stories, I think my hometown isn't that bad after all. Sometime, I think my hometown could improve further.

Another interesting thing is my office mate like to eat. Compare to my previous company, my ex-office mate don't really like to eat that much. I need to re-stock my food stuff more frequently now. It is a good thing, I have plenty of food stuff need to clear ASAP. There is a catch, the office mice like food too. They happily eat my one week worth of breakfast (5 packs of Milo packets). Extra protection need: thick plastic container or biscuits tin. Aluminium is not good enough.
