Why we always hate our job?

That question was asked by Yus yesterday.

and, to our amazement, the three of us in the car yesterday, shared the same view..

Overworked and too much stress had made us somehow hate our job.

But, as Ziera mentioned, "we need to work cos we need that paycheck to support our life".

and now I know, I'm not the only one that sometime just 'hate' my job.  Others felt the same too..



I hate my job when:

• I cant solve the problems
• People expect me to solve immediately every single problem tht happen
• I dont know how to solve the problems

it's just like, a doctor who doesnt know what his patient's disease is, and how to cure the patient..

if only our job is as easy as assembling this puzzle..

Chocolate-chip Oat Biscuits

Multitasking

 

Is it good or not?

For me, it's good since I can save a lot of time by just doing it.

Eg: washing cloth + eating + reading + watching TV

 

The not so gooood thing about this:

I tend to lost my focus, and end up doing another task more than the other tasks.

 

Eg: Reading while completely forgot to hang the laundry..

 

Like right now, I'm supposed to finish sewing my pants, instead…

..

..

I'm reading others' blogs while watching TV. Sigh. And the laundry is waiting to be hanged. Double sigh.

Pressure cooker pun x pressure macam ni..

What will u feel if u r in the situation below? :

• It was Sunday evening and u received a call from your colleague asking bout your presentation pack.
• You already prepared the pack, only that u need to do some touch up and beef up the presentation pack.
• And ur colleague mentioned, "nevermind,if u don't do the slides, let me do it and u just present it at the office tomorrow"

Note: the presentation was scheduled on the following week, but not on any particular day.


Monday:

• U arrived early in the morning at office and u were in the midst of having ur normal cup of coffee.
• Then , d same colleague keep pestering u bout the slides.
• U became fed up, and u send the half-cooked slides to that fuller.
• That fuller commented on ur slides, saying that the slides are boring and there's no animation.

C'mon. half-cooked as it is.
That fuller asked ur trainee to create animation for u, which at the same time u already half-way with that animation.


Continue:

• Ur boss was not free throughout the day. So there's no point of u rushing to present the half-cook slides.
• Half-cook meant that the facts presented are not up to CTEs expectation. And the facts are sloppy since u don't have time to cross-check the facts.

….
…
Owh, I don't know, but I just pissed off with this kind of creature.


So, what say u?

Sleepy-head

To my brother n sister, I'm sumbody who can sleep almost anywhere.

Anywhere include behind the wheel, sleeping while observing the well completion process, sleeping while reading, sleeping while eating also sleeping while standing inside LRT

And I really need my beauty sleep. Else . . .

 

Now, I really value my beauty sleep as I foresee that I will lose part of my beauty sleep during next week job. We'll see then. Tapi apsal asyik terjaga every 1 hour ni. Aiseh.

RJ45

That's the name of cable I routed & installed just now.

Fancy? Hebat? Wait till u see it :

Nothing  is fancy till u 'fancy' it J

Cheers~

Ms. Lucky

I'm just so lucky compared to others here. Being the only woman here, I get the privilege of having a room of my own, a toilet of my own J
I was quite skeptical at first; thus, when I packed my things at 4am on the day I was suppose to travel, I just packed everything that I can grab off.
The result…1trolley bag + 1 backpack. I packed extra since the last time I came here I remember the washing machine and dryer r down.
Guess what, the people here dry their shirt at the compressor. Creative :D
The good thing of not travelling light was…… the dryer and the machine are still downJ
And they don't have enough soap also. Kesian kesian.
I always have this guilty feeling since as an extra person here, I'm utilizing their things, so they guys need to always give-in whenever I come here.
I'm lucky indeed. Bukan Lelaki, but lucky :D

Hang in there bebeh!

I’m getting bored already.

Though, yesterday was crew change n what a surprise, 80% of them are like ‘adik-adik’, so young!

Thus, you may expect naughtier and louder crew here. Full of colours!

Went to jacket today & weather is start picking up.  Our boat nearly wanna return to mother platform already.  Intial plan was to measure dumping volume but end up not doing it.  Tomorrow perhaps.

Kicked-off from guest room at platform and moved to Teknik Berkat. Better food, can do laundry.

OMG,  TB is swayyyyyying.

Try imagine:

·         U were showering n shampooing ur hair.

·         Put the shampoo bottle on ur right

·         Want to pick it up on ur right side, but it’s already gone

·         Rupa-rupanya d shampoo already on ur left side.

 Nice sleep everyone :)

Sexist

One:
Once, a guy I met at offshore told me, "if u r my girlfriend/wife, definitely I wont allow u to work offshore"
Luckily that guy is not my boyfriend/husband. Heh.


Two:
"I don't know why girsl wanna be Petroleum Engineers. Girls are supposed to wait for a prince to kneel down and propose you to get married, and live happily ever after"
My reply, " I knew a Malay lady from Malaysia who is now Worldwide Specialist for Turbomachinery. That kind of thing is tougher than what currently I'm doing". Fullstop.

Clash of the plumbers (1)

Situation : Pipe outside my house has been leaking for few times. Initially, it was caused by the leaking filter gasket. Changed. But the leaking problem still happens. Thru trial and error, it was discovered that the pipe inlet was also having leaking problem. This is the major problem if I on the pump. But, no pump, slow water ma..

Solution:

Condo maintenance : "the water pressure is too high, u need to install PRV (pressure regulating valve) to control the pressure. And u need to repair this leaking immediately since ur unit is causing disturbance to other tenants. [and yes, I need to bear all this cost; call the plumber to break the wall, retrieve the leaking pipe, replace it, cement back][u r right, causing trouble to other tenants? Only 2 units occupied nearby, and those are weekend houses kot ;( ]

Plumber A [actual profession-filter maintenance guy]: "u need to install PRV, total estimated cost RM400" [bapak mahal, plus this guy does shabby job, twice he repaired the filter and twice leaking happened, plus this guy is gedik]

Plumber B [ex-maintenance guy at this area]: "ur filter and pump already have the PRV, no need to install new one" [before he troubleshoot the leaking, he discovered that the pump is already short (circuit), opened up and find something burnt inside there, change the internal part but pump still not working. Changed the leaking pipe. Guess what, the pipeline internal is badly corroded due to the 'cleanliness' of water supply here]. Total damage done :RM200

Part of the problem already solved but still need to call the pump guy to troubleshoot the pump. Low water pressure @ house. 30minutes for normal shower..

Plumber C [the pump guy]: Pissed off since plumber B modified the piping route. According to him, water need to enter the pump first before going to the filter and into the house. I clarified saying that the water is full with corrosion, thus can caused the pump to be kaput. Sigh. [Plumber C find out that the pump motor is kaput. Options : to repair the pump (RM700) or replace with brand new pump (RM1,400). Of course, I choose the cheapest option, see what can this option do]

 

Total damage done to date: RM200

Expected total damage done: RM900

Next job: Remove the parquette flooring and put normal tiles.

Fuhh, there goes my money. with this current condition, I doubt I can save lots of money to buy my wishlist.

 

p/s: just replaced the laptop battery. Total damage done :RM380. Sigh.

 

 

Pigeonhole

Things u will face once u stay at condo/apartment:

• Anything u wanna do needs permission from the management
  
• Ur complains will be put on deaf ear
  
• The alien guards seem to be more 'tuan' than the real owner of condo/apartment
  
• Ur friends & families cannot overnight at your house for so long
  
• U cannot park at adjacent block's parking, even to pay ur maintenance fee
  
• Others' cats can simply poo poo at ur doorstep, and u need to clean it everyday
  
• Ur house water pressure will be lower, till the point that u need to install ur own pump
  
• U cant have a nice garden to plant ur pandan leaves, curry leaves, lime, chillies, etc
  

 

Thus, lets save a lot of money and buy landed property; where u can make ur own decision and don't need to go thru these hassle things.
