“I Love my Job”

July 22, 2008 | Filed Under Announcement, Gibberish, Observation, Rough Times, Thoughts, Work 

Only a few days of lazily written entries and I noticed that my stats have dropped drastically. I guess this is the price to pay when I had decided that this blog become my (amateur) photography cum personal life cum ranting space (not a very good mix when not done properly). But I really shouldn’t complain, as I still have loyal readers who comment on my postings on a frequent basis such as Hwey and Deng, Shan, Feng, Jason, ehon, Clem, Neo and even Lilian. Thanks guys for keeping me motivated to continue blogging on a not-so-daily basis.

Another day, another entry for me to ramble on about my job. Pardon the misleading title of this post, I am merely restating what my colleagues have been saying about me (without my knowledge, of course) - “He seem to really love this job”.

I would have taken it as a compliment, but knowing that people are actually saying it behind my back, this goes to show that it is being seen as a negative thing. Only people like Shan (a manager in the food industry) would probably see it in a positive light, I guess. But why on mother Earth would your colleagues who are supposedly your friends see such a thing as something negative? Are they in fear of their job security, that I will “rob” them of their positions with my supposed “passion” for my job? Or perhaps being such a person with a positive, cheery mood at work puts them off to bad mood?

I had proposed a couple of solutions for myself to tackle this new-found problem at work that I’m facing:

1. The Reversal Method
   - Title says it all: Reversing my positive, cheery facade and channeling all my negative aura to my face. This method has yet to be tested and probability of success is unknown, but chances of losing my job is exponentially increased with more negative aura. Although I am very much tempted to test this method, I dare not risk my sole income at this stage in time.

   
   

2. The IgnoRaythod™
   - I’m sure many have heard of the phrase, “Ignorance is bliss”. This is an example of when you can apply this method. It has been tested and the probability of success is high. Chances of losing my job is on all-time low and chances of promotion is all-time high.

3. And more.

As to the statement of where I “love” my job, I hereby openly announce to the whole world that I really, really, really hate my job despite the cheery, positive facade that I have been putting on. The reasons of such dedication and positive outlook for me at work is:

• Money
• (Fun) Colleagues/Manager (notice the singularity) who can share stories and let me see the real them.

  and last but not least,

• Money

Think about it - why would a perfectly normal person like you and me love a job which you only earn enough to survive on (weekly), and still isn’t enough for yourself to lead a completely liveable life by yourself, more to say your other half? One cannot simply judge another by how they carry themself, anywhere. Just because I’m good with appearing happy doesn’t necessarily imply that I’m a happy person. It’s akin saying that your cat is horny when it rubs itself against you. No, your cat is not horny. You are the horny one to suggest such implication on it.

In short to this lengthy rambling, mind your own fucking business while I mind mine.

Thanks for reading and have a good week while I continue slaving myself for more moolahs to pay off my bills, cars, uni books/carpark, and life
