On…

…Work

Ever since I joined the company, I’ve been overworked. Only had about 3 weeks off in total (sometimes pretended to be sick). Working here has its ups and downs and mid-year I’ve had major downs, but that sorted itself out with a bit of pushing & prodding.

Now that the main dude handling our regional IT has left, there’s been a void waiting to be filled. In a flurry of activity I’ve been promoted a grade higher (still didn’t get my letter, the HR guy’s printer fucked up…typical R’s luck.) and I’m currently only holding the fort with another guy. Not sure what’s going to happen next, but this promotion sure boosted my drive to work harder. J

I need a vacation

…Home

Construction plans, mother visiting for a couple of months and a whole load of crap. If the cards are played right, the dust will settle soon and life goes back to its usual pace. I’ve been staying home a lot lately and rarely go out, either online browsing (I think I can make a map of Google now.) or keeping mom entertained.

I still need a vacation

…Friends

There simply ‘there’ if you know what I mean. We keep in touch; manage to get together with whatever spare time we have. As a good friend told me once, “You need a new group of friends.” She may be right and I’m following her advice…hard to trust anyone these days in this country though, let alone anywhere else in the world. So far only met one person who’s quite interesting, yet I guess what with work, family and such is keeping us quite busy.

…Life

Generally life has had its interesting twists and turns. This year was quite a rollercoaster ride which ended up with a spectacular 100ft. drop into a cavern, then a sudden sharp rise back to a normal level. That’s the best I can describe it. So far my skeletons been rattling loudly, one kick at the closet shut them up…they’re still quiet. Not sure what 2008 is gonna be like, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the same as every previous year, but got my hopes for a better year and a smoother ride.

All in all, I’d say the good things outnumber the bad things. A few major blows, no biggie…I only got some bruises, nothing broken. I’ve survived and pretty sure will survive worse…gimme your best shot!

There’s this ‘calculated risk’ I’ve been meaning to go for…not yet though…when the time is right and that door opens a tiny crack…I believe this risk is worth it. Go for it? Or not?
