Mid-week thoughts

It's a wednesday again, mid of the week. And it's the first day of July, start of the other-half of the year. I can't believe how fast time really flies.

First half of the year is over, next week (July 7), I'll be celebrating my one year stay here in the company. See? I can be patient if I wanted to. Despite all my whinings and complaints I've stayed.

I think it was yesterday when I told Christine I might stay here for the rest of the year. Even though I know that my work here weigh less compared to my other officemates, I still can't bear to leave them, especially now that we'll simultaneously open three of our projects.

My pride is another reason. I want to be able to see our projects open and be able to tell everyone that "Hey! I'm one of those guys who built that!.." Well, not literally you know, I'm not a construction worker. But I'm part of the head group who made the project possible.

Christine said I should be proud. Now that I'm turning 1 year in Eton. She said it's really an accomplishment to be able to last a year for a first job. Hmm..maybe. But I guess I would have feel much better if my stay has been fun and rewarding.

Yes, rewarding. This is the term I've always wanted to attach when asked how my work was. Not "terrible", "frustrating", and "depressing".

They said I should wait. That this is just a temporary set-up. Later on, when all the projects are officially open I'll be given more responsibilities, more chance to explore my capabilities, test my passion, if i'm really meant for this job.

I hope they're right. I don't want to be proven right when I finally realize staying in this job, and company, is really just a waste of time and stagnating myself..
