this week

after the stressful start to the week, i thought the week went relatively ok.

monday was bad due to mum's mental condition and she gave me the cold war through the day. tuesday was bad as she continued with her tantrums, but weirdly, wednesday arrived and she acted like as though nothing had happened. and so, life turned back to "normal" as sudden as it turned bad at the start of the week. so, the rest of the week kinda became quite routine again with the usual work, rehab center, bringing her out for dinners immediately after work and trying to stretch the evening out as long as possible so as to make her tired. that was basically how the week went for me on the homefront.

as for the workfront, well, as usual, the meetings and trying to adjust to the new boss and the many meetings that came and went. so far seemed to be ok. this new boss tried to justify the unpleasant and uncalled for comments that my big boss (his boss) told me some couple of weeks back. well, i just nodded and smiled. no point getting worked up for it. reflecting, if i did not agree to what my big boss said, i should just depersonalize this whole issue and move on as soon as i get a new job. there is no rush per se as i have reflected earlier. but what i am very clear about was that there is no need to feel personal about all these anymore. i must remember the bad lesson i learnt in my regular service days with the armed forces that organizational loyalty is nothing but bullshit. ultimately, the organization has its own interest to look after. so...

well, that was my week. not too eventful at work and perhaps a little weird at home. oh, since i am ranting, this week, my laptop went kapoot... and have been forced to use my office laptop to blog and to surf the net. do not do so usually as i do not like the idea of things being cached in my laptop, especially so when and if i surf sites that are blocked at work or sites that could possibly compromise my personal life (like porn as well as my blog! hahaha). also, yesterday, my phone contract ends and that means i can now shop for a new phone as i renew the contract! hurray! and of cos, it's a nice end to the week to be commemorating our 7th anniversary/ start of our eighth year... (not that we are doing anything romantic or significant)... heh heh... i supposed the event itself gives me a mental break from all the routine stress...
