Location: office, 101 collins
Time: after lunch, Monday, 22 October, 2007
Feeling: sleepy, un-motivated, a bit bored
It's very strange, working in the office... I can't make up my mind about it. I think I like it for now. I have a feeling I may get a bit bored in the near future.
Have spent the whole Sunday cleaning and moving. I couldn't believe how much dirt and filth and rubbish could be in one small kitchen. 2 people working together for 6 hours (pretty intensely) only managed to just finish the kitchen. 6 full rubbish bags, 3 boxes of rubbish and 2 boxes of glass jars later. Now just 1 living room, 1 bathroom and 3 bedrooms to go. and the bits in between.

Friday, 19 October 2007
Location: office, 101 collins
time: after lunch, 3pm, Friday, 19 October
Feeling: tired, uninspired, sleepy, vomitous
Why won't this week (work week) just finish... it keeps going on and on... i'm ready for a serious nap. I'm ready for a weekend of sloth. I'll even pass on lust and gluttony. Pride and wrath take too much effort. So does vanity. I forget what else is there. Clearly it could not be a fun one. Sloth rocks.
Meanwhile only 3 minutes have passed since I started writing this. Far out. Time is literally crawling. I want to crawl too - into bed.
Ate waaaay too much - we went to yam cha with the office. One of my development needs is, since I'm the longest tenured person in the office (aside from one other), to create "culture". Whatever that is. And to do it long distance from Bangkok. Hmmm!
Well we all need our challenges and hobbies... It's not like I have anything else on my plate in terms of social engagements in melbourne...
5 minutes. Far out.

another week in Melbourne
Location: Office, 101 Collins
Time: 9:52am, Monday morning, 15 October, 2007
Feeling: still peeved at firm (not feeling the cheer), other than that - too early to tell...
The weekend involved - 2 dinners, 1 lunch, 1 movie, 1 physiotherapist, 3 naps
crap gotta do work...

another day
Location: office, 101 collins
Time: 12ish
Feeling: kind of depressed, shitty
Another day at work. How is that I can like people at the firm, and yet not like the firm (as a collective). I find that strange. I guess I don't like everyone. But the people I like outweigh those I don't. So it's always been a puzzle for me, how it is that those few can have such an impact as part of the overall firm. Unless it's the structure of the firm that facilitates that sort of crappiness. Anyway, I don't know what's going on. I think I'm just going to shut up and do the work, since I don't really understand what they want from me.
Still broke. Maaan. It's like another 3 weeks until payday. Sigh.
I want to go back to bed. I was not ready to leave the safety and security of my bed this morning. Not a happy bunny. Stoopid job.
PS I am also not ENTP. My actual test (official one I did for work) said INTP.

I don't think I agree...
| You Are An ENTP |
 The Visionary You are charming, outgoing, friendly. You make a good first impression. You possess good negotiating skills and can convince anyone of anything. Happy to be the center of attention, you love to tell stories and show off. You're very clever, but not disciplined enough to do well in structured environments. In love, you see everything as a grand adventure. You enjoy taking risks for love. And if things don't work out, you're usually not too much worse for the wear! You would make a great entrepreneur, marketing executive, or actor. At work, you need a lot of freedom to pursue your own path and vision. How you see yourself: Analytical, creative, and peaceful When other people don't get you, they see you as: Detached, wishy-washy, and superficial |
Location: Office, 101 Collins
Time: noon-ish
Feeling: mega peeved
Going through "I hate my job" phase. Possibly too peeved to write coherently about it. Plus, the danger of someone from work reading and getting me fired for it. Or something.
*Sigh*. I knew it's been too good for too long. It's that time of the year again.
I just want to crawl under the blanket and cover my head. And stay there for the rest of the day (as I'm convinced that when it rains, it pours - so bad things never happen by themselves. there's always more to follow. Thus, it's better to stay in bed on days like this).
Oh and I'm broke. Very broke. I haven't been paid for this month since I've taken unpaid leave for pro bono work at PATRIR.
Any other shitty news? Got a ticket fine this morning. On the line where I usually get the city circle - I just couldn't be bothered waiting for it. Farken. Although I did deserve that one. It's kind of like speeding tickets. I definitely deserved a few of those but just never been caught. Same with met tickets. Definitely deserve more than one. Actually I might see how much it is before I conclude that.

ps forgot some other news...
GMAT: good news. After spending not enough time studying and doing practice exams which told me I would get 640, I was convinced that I would need to sit the exam twice. I even brought all my books with me from Romania (I sat the test in Budapest on the way home) and started checking out new ones on amazon. Was pleasantly shocked to get 750. I couldn't believe it and asked the people at the centre to double check. Pretty happy with that hey. Does feel like a windfall though...
Camera: it broke :( I don't have a camera :(
And I am supremely broke this month due to not being paid for my unpaid leave at PATRIR... Sigh. Credit card is not looking good either. Dipping into my already insignificant savings...

Date and time: too early on Monday morning. In fact I think anything that can be classified as "Monday morning" is automatically too early.
Location: work, 101 collins
Feeling: sleepy, i don't wanna work...
Weekend: Bought pretty shoes (there goes the saving...), had dinner at Trotters, had dinner at Taxi and had dinner at a crappy Korean place after we couldn't get a table at the Japanese restaurant we were aiming for.
I have no profound thoughts at this moment. I am a bit unhappy with the fact of it being Monday morning. I am also waiting for a call from my boss for the week - to find out what I'm doing this week etc... I remember there was some reason that i wanted to write something on my blog (ie an actual topic I wanted to cover) but that's gone.
Europe: Met some very interesting people especially at European Peace University and the Romanian Peace Institute. Some of them just really blew me away. Many of them are in Non-violent Peaceforce and UN Peace Force. So they all scatter around the world in conflict regions (eg Africa, Sri Lanka, Middle East, Burma). It was mind expanding to say the least. Watch out, I may become a peacenik :)
I am also contemplating the Stanford deadline and thinking that it's just not going to happen. I'm going to give it a shot, but .... I am thinking I should just go for second round. I need a reference from Denis as well and the due date is on the same day as his wedding. I'm thinking that's going to be tricky.
So yeah...I'm scheduled for Bangkok - except it keeps getting pushed back. That's not unusual, but I worry I'll get staffed on something else and won't get to know. Well, actually, I think "worry" is probably too active of a word. I guess it's just would be nice to have certainty so that I could arrange my affairs - I decided to move out of my apartment if I end up in Bangkok. So I'm just waiting for confirmation...
No other news from me I think! I'm on the beach for the first time in more than 12 months I think... I'm a bit confused by the concept and I think my roommates (of which there are now 5 since their boyfriends moved in!) are a bit confused by me being home...

Back in Melbourne...
Location: work... 101 Collins, Melbourne
Time: 12ish
Feeling: sick, tired, zonked and snotty
Yes. I have a cold. Yes, I am full of snot. A bit miserable and feeling sorry for myself. However, a nice positive is that I'm in Melbourne, I didn't have to fly anywhere (not that I could anyway - my ears pop when I get into the lift). I'm on the beach and my boss is on a fishing holiday. Still kind of heaps to do but not as intense as client work.
One of the reasons I'm so tired is I couldn't stop reading this book last night... It's called "The End of Mr Y" and I cannot put it down. It is fantastic. It just articulates a heap of things that have been simmering in your brain and injects a whole bunch of others that you haven't even thought of. It has a weird and unlikely plot but it just opens some door in your mind and gets you to think about stuff that extends beyond your everyday existence. Anyway, obviously I was impressed...
