Almost 1 month!

Gosh, its almost a mth since my last entry here.

Have been really busy at work recently. Unhappy, stressed, anxious, tired, etc.

Not trying to be negative, esp that i have God, but these, unfortunately, are my exact feelings for the past 1 mth. Going into office feeling so stressed, and easily anxious abt work. Even during my Bintan trip and normal weekends, i keep thinking abt work and how never-ending they are.

In the end, i decided to resign. Handed THE letter to my manager on Wednesday. He kinda expected it. Well, afterall i broke down a number of times in my cubicle as well as once in front of him. :I He defended a little and explained that he really did tried his best to bring in the additional headcount, but its beyond his control. After hearing that, i know in my heart that there is nothing more he can do. This position will continue to be THIS heavy.

Just watched Iron Man 2 on thursday and what Virginia Pebble said right after Tony saved her is exactly what I have been feeling all these while, "My body literally cannot take the stress anymore, I quit, I resign!"

My hair was dropping more than usual, having gastric attacks due to stress (i guess) during office hours are not uncommon. Working for more than 10hours with only less than 20mins of lunch was also nothing new in this dept.

Yup...

But, i dont want such lifestyle. I want a work life balance lifestyle. Afterall balance is the key to LIFE.

Hopefully after this, i will be able to find a new job that has work life balance. Not only pays well, but bring satisfaction.

So, my next post......?

Soon! :)
