This is terribly unexciting!!
I wholeheartedly wished I had fun things to report or to blog about. Although at the suggestion of BF, and it's a good one, I am going to start a separate blog temporarily titled "Things that my mom says I can't eat". I suppose it's more telling to put "Things that my Chinese mom says I can't eat", but I don't want to add to the myth of the Chinese or Asian Mother, although much of it can be true. :::Sniggers:::
(Sniggers is a word I picked up from reading Harry Potter, or as I call it simply, "DUMBLEDORE!!". Alas, 13 long years after it first became a worldwide phenomenon, I am officially a fan of the books. At least until I get to book 6 or 7 which have received poor(er) reviews from my friends than the first 5)
Back to why I'm less than thrilled. I have refrained from blogging about my work, although I think many would have found it amusing, because while the business practices may be 'common', they are neither sound nor logical, and personally I find myself wondering "... er but why?" but more often than not I find myself bent over with laughter at the ridiculousness of it all.
Before continuing on, I've just taken out my self-pity violin and am playing a sad tune... now hear that refrain in your head as you cotinue reading this.
I AM RESTLESS! This debacle of a job has done NOTHING for me this past 7 months except with the silver lining of having made friends with a few spectacular personalities and coming to the realization yet AGAIN that I am a rock-solid person with strong work ethic and competence, exceptional interpersonal skills unless of course, you aggravate me and I decide to throw you under the bus and tell you everything that is wrong with you. Yes, I have discovered, with the 'help' of this job, a whole new side of me. A side that is catty, gossipy, b*tchy and worst of it all, cynical. I find this distasteful and unwelcomed! I'd rather be broke and charming! So therein lies the dilemma... engage on another round of funemployment where it wouldn't be half as much fun as last time since I had money saved up to play around with... or stay at a thankless and meaningless job with a joke of a company while pursuing personal interests?
I think I can answer that question in my sleep. It's just that the answer makes my life a little bit harder. Although, as an optimist, I see it as motivation to work harder and be more creative... difficult situations call for clever solutions. I do think finding the money is easy... in theory. Time for practical application!
Incidentally, I am ridiculously inspired by this blog that I just read through in its entirety: http://michelles-in-cambodia.blogspot.com/
She's ballsier than I am! I managed just ONE horrendous 5-hour busride from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, I don't think I could get on another Cambodian bus... but anyhow, she's doing what I imagine myself doing. I'm not jealous, just inspired. :)
