Monday, first day of the week.. Gotta prepare to go to work.. Hope traffic will not be too bad today.. My scheduler showed that today is going to be a busy day..
Talking about work, when I was 27 years old, err.. 13 years ago, I attended a job interview and the interviewer (which was the boss) asked about my aspiration. I told her that I wanted to be a Head of Department by the time I turned 40. Well, 8 years later, but in another company, I met my target of becoming a Head of Department - at 35 years old. At that age, I was proud with my achievements. But 1 thing for sure, a big position in a company somehow will result to sleepless nights, office politics, impossible expectations from the boss and many more that made me so unhappy...
I then applied for another position in another company. A whole different level of responsibilities. I was a somebody and now a nobody!!! Do I like it? Well, to tell you the truth I felt really "small" because I am not that important person anymore. People don't look for me when there are problems. But, what makes me happy right now is that I can have a good sleep at night. I can go for my hols with family without guilt. I can have the weekend without thinking that I have paperworks to complete..
I have changed my priorities.. It is now about calmness in life.. I want to be happy and I do not like to put a long face at work..
