I need to empty my mind now. It is filling in fast with lots of things though the good part about it is, I still am in 1 piece and am typically on weekend mode of peace.
Just this morning when I had my brunch with my in-laws, Eugene told his parents that a good friend of ours is expecting their first baby though they were not the ones who shared the good news. It was the mother-to-be's sister who can't contain the happiness and had to share with me.
Of course I was happy. Elated.
But Eugene's mum told us she knew about it because the father-to-be shared with Eugene's brother and asked to keep it as a secret because it was just too early to break the news to 'anyone.' Some bloody taboo it seemed. Chinese and their whole freaking lot of taboos.
For a moment, I felt sad. Over the matter that Eugene and I have been close with them for the longest time, but it is news like this that he rather share with Eugene's brother than us. Like WTH.
Indeed, like it or not, I am saying it out loud, it really seemed that we ARE 'anyone'.
Well, while it is sad to realised this piece, I have however, taken a stance that I will not take much heed as life has more to this than someone who don't really take us as good friends. Just move on. This is one of those moment of affirmation.
Anyways...
Rumors has it extremely strong that I am to be leaving my Bank and may / will be following my ex-boss to this new Bank. What a joke. Of course, it is the very reason it is called a rumor. Such amusement .
It went to such extend that my big Boss came talking to me about my issues personally despite his busy schedule. And I made it a point of course to address, the issues I current have, whole heartly honest and frank.
I am not afraid to admit that the very reason I said I am unhappy is because I feel I am stuck in the rut over my salary (since I have hit the maximum range within my level) and the notion that the unit I head looks as if I will be heading towards reporting to that Smuffet with Purple Shoe whom I despise.
Of course, I had it said very diplomatically over and he has noted it in perfect understanding.
So now, the million dollar question is, would I still leave?
Answer: Depends. Depends to what extend are they looking into my issues. THat's all but my options are pretty much still open. There is no such thing as loyalty. I mean for 12 years I have been here, for the same 12 years I didn't harbor much loyalty per se but just focusing on my job and delivering what I am expected.
Afterall as I always remind people and myself, nothing personal, this is a job and it's really a business transaction, I work for a salary, the company pays me a salary for the work I do. I just ensure I made an honest living or give more than I should.
Anyway, on the other side of things, I have not given a complete overview of my car since the day it came to me as MY car. My mafia.
I have been meaning to but I have never really gotten the time to write it with my heart. Yeah, writing is always from the heart, not head (head is just for grammar and spelling).
The Cayman S.
Well... should I just write it in a fresh new post so it won't be over convoluted? Yes. I should.
The next one baby... *wink*
