I'll be at EDB for another 6 weeks. Had a talk with my bosses, and having given it some thought over the weekend, I've decided to have my contract extended till the end of Nov. I have absolutely no clue whether I've made the right choice or not. I mean.. what were my motivations when I made this decision? I mean it's not like this job has fantastic benefits or I get a lot of money out of it. I guess at the end of the day it was more of: I enjoy working with my pals here, I'm gonna miss "waking up everyday with no need to go to work, no drive, no aim". I NEED something to do.
I managed to negotiate for a day off each week with my big boss M tho, since I received my enlistment letter over the weekend and I'll have to pass (obtain silver or gold) in my IPPT soon if i'm to avoid the december batch (for those who failed). So the bargain was I get wednesdays off, but i still get the same pay, since in all honesty what I'm receiving is already only peanuts.
I've been feeling rather blue over the last 24 hrs or so. Don't really know why. Perhaps i do, but i just don't want to entertain the thought too much. *sigh* Sky looks kinda cloudy from here.. fits da mood. Da Jie's not here today... won't be able to listen to her corny antics for 2 days since i'm off tom. hmmmz.... and amelia's desk is starting to look worse than a war zone. i really should pile some of my unwanted junk up there too. looks very tempting... heh.
Neways, Got status meeting at 10am for the whole Marcom div--gonna recap on GES2004 or so i've heard. hope the meeting won't take forever, and i won't need to be on my feet the whole time like at the last status meeting! Then after that Cat's gonna brief me on smthg, I'll probably spend the next few weeks helping her with her Web and IT project stuff. Sometimes i kinda get the feeling she's overworked. Altho she's gonna go on her 2 week leave starting next week soon, to study for her exams. *sigh* gonna miss her...
