Is it time to...?

Coming to mid 2010...it seems that there are a few questions along the line of 'is it time to...' that I must answer - here's all of them?

Is it time to...

a. 'Look for another job?'

Good question - I come to ask myself this question as I realise that I am giving everyone in the office the wrong impression of myself. I was told by one of my buddies that I am showing everyone the 'I am stressed and do not disturb me' look. This is rather very frustrating - in fact I just do not believe in smiling and talking nonsense and stuff during work. Rather, I prefer not to talk about other things rather than work because there is a time for everything. Somehow keeping a straight face seems to incite other interpretations from other people. Though I am still learning things and may make mistakes, but then to say that I am stressed as a result is a bit strange. To add on to this, things have been rather untenable between myself and my boss - it just means that I may have to look for greener pastures and to quit gracefully before things rather go ugly. I can see that happening in a few months...so I guess I answered my own question for this one.

b. 'Allocate more time to do more different things?'

Another question which is quite hard to pin an answer to. Things that have occured in the past one and a half months since have been huge - my nephew getting older; my younger brother awaiting his graduation, and with good results too; and not to forget myself having someone to answer to =). Of course this derails things a bit from my own resolutions, and I have to restring things a bit to 'get back on track' - there are still a few things that must be done. On top of that I still have the unpleasant task of RT - so time is hard to allocate and disburse. Damn - I have no idea where to start on that one.

c. 'Think of myself more?'

This question rathers makes me more narcissitic if I say yes, but if I say no others think that I am too good - and I am being taken for granted. Increasingly I have been sleeping more on my chair when I get back from work and check my emails or listen to music - so much so that I have to be woken up to get to bed and only to get sores in the next morning. I also have to start thinking about doing more things that will affect me directly more - check my expenditure, check my fitness, check my obligations...

This surely guarantees an unpredictable 6 months to come. Next up, I will see if I can decide on my holiday destinations...for now it will be a shootout between Auckland and Istanbul...
