Things still not getting any better within the team. Today, one of my network colleague went back to main office to meet up with his tower manager towards his resignation. Being a rather highly certified network guy, he might have realized the opportunities out there would seem to be far far better off than where he is at now.

Quite a number of things happen for the past 2 days at work, outages here and there... spot checks... unnecessary incident report by sickening end users... higher management pressure... team morale getting lower and lower... DR and other projects coming along the way... and also not forgetting the bad weather.

Whatever bad or unhappy moments we have, life still has to go on. So why frown everyday, I would rather give it a smile towards my daily life. The death of my best friend will always remind me to keep my life going by treasuring every single day with joy and strive.

Lastly, Congrats to cousin Nic! To your confirmation day! Didn't know about this until I read your blog. :)

Sick & Tired of the work

Recently, there have been lots of ups and downs in the account. All the way from Operations, project, internal team, communication.. etc. The list would just go on and on...

Can feel the tension within the group and also the shakiness of the team morale. Being observant, realized that there are a couple of mates would be leaving this account and the number is increasing as day goes by. Being ashamed of myself that the team is already so small, with just a handful of 10 of us. Hearing the news that another new colleague (Unix person) will be joining our team really bring down my torture and sufferings by a level.

On the other hand, there are certain internal issues which are injecting us. I will not mention them and do not ask me as well. :) The fact that even the new friends that I made in the account (end user environment) are leaving one after another, you can roughly gauge the politics this account is having despite the fact you can get at least 4 months of variable bonus or more. Being in the vendor's environment to this account, you can visualize the scene without me elaborating any further.

Well, I guess outsourcing environment is really not an end career for me definitely, just keeping my fingers crossed and see how long I can endure through. :)

Have not been blogging recently... Reasons being too busy in work, fall sick during the weekends, and lots of personal things waiting to be done and most importantly.. AMPLE REST!

Bro will be heading to aussie for this exchange program this coming saturday and will be there for 2 weeks.

And yah! I receive an email this morning from my hotmail, realizing it is residing at the junk-mail section, almost deleted it without even taking a look at it. Guess what! Its from MINDEF. DAMN!

Without say another word, it's definitely gonna be another CallUp from them! Grr... Well, I will take a look at the date again later. The NS Portal seem to be having some problem now.

Back at work, this month is going to be a busy one due to the fact that we have to perform several runs of the DR exercise within our team before embracing the real one at the end of this month. Rather scary for us as this is the first time I am doing this and our renewal contract is also around the corner. Can really feel the HEAT! :)
