My original post got lost suddenly. Cheap technology.. crap.

In essence, here's a rundown of my thoughts at the moment.


I got promoted to a senior staff level. I was close to snagging a specialist post but I was too late and too soon. Two days late and too soon to be promoted to a higher level since my promotion papers were still being processed. No, my boss isn't keen on policy exemptions either. So was I. Fair's fair I guess. It's not exactly the one I wanted but hey, something is better than nothing at all.

I am happy with my current work -- ISO and business process analysis. The possibilities that these two disciplines can open, in my opinion, are endless. Geek talk as this may sound, I don't give a poop.

For the first time in the job that I consider my Gehinom, I was now ascending to purgatory. Work still come in packs and unexpectedly at times but I'm getting good at it. The stress level is now tolerable compared to the scorching blaze last year. Add the fact that the fat bitch (aka my former boss) from hell was still in this country then. Now, I'm just welcoming all the stress. With a stupid jerk smile on my face and Muse'sSuper Massive Blackhole pounding in my heart.*

I am looking forward to getting promoted again next year. As greedy as I may sound right now, I believe this is something worth racing for. After all, the road to becoming someone doesn't start with yellow bricked paths. It's the shifting sand paths of the Sahara for you. Or Nan Dungortheb if you like to wax Tolkien for the moment. Whatever you may call it, the way is harsh. But the end of it is really worth all the trouble.

I can't wait for next year. I feel like a weary traveller scanning the sky outside the Inn at the World's End, seeing the future events unfold in the horizon.




I can't wait. Oh yes, I can't wait.







* Note: If this song reminds you of Twilight the answer is no, I'm not a Twilight fan. I don't see anything good/worth remembering about the movie or the book. I was already a Muse fan waaay before the producers used the band's songs as the movie OST.
