Work Rant

Today the force is strong. With every passing day, I'm starting to feel more and more buay song @ work.


My boss is selective at work. He picks the work he want to do, and pass the rest down. Then once he got sick of his task, he'll pass it down as well. So, me at the bottom of the tree, basically I'm just a shit collector.

He's a selective listener too. When he gets impatient, he'll just listen to stuff he wants to listen. He's smart, no doubt, but he always has his own thinking and wants people to think along the same as him. So when you are explaining stuff to him, if it's not according to what he has assumed it is, he won't get your point. That makes me wonder why he wants us to explain in the first place when he's not receptive at all.

That's my boss. Then we have the company management. Reorg here reorg there, and I still don't see any improvement. No bonus no increment, still expect us to work like a slave. Loyalty doesn't really work here. Well... we are loyal to money though.

This project has been taken away a lot of my personal life already. So what if this project is big money making? Do I get a share of it? No.. Last year that big monkey making project I also didn't get anything from it. Sucks. Enough of the sweet talking. Pissed.

RAWWWWWRRRRRRRR!! FML

NMNHNLM

NM:

Still no news on bonus and increment. In fact, rumour is that there will be none. Morale in office getting lower with every passing month. Mind you, the bonus and increment I'm talking here is for LAST YEAR performance evaluation.

Has been dragging since starting of the year. Don't know what's wrong with the CEO and the directors... If don't have, just tell us don't have. Don't just keep us hanging there like that. You think it's fun? Bloody hell...

And just today, I finally heard my team lead complaining about this too. Lol.. All along I thought he won't really complain on this. Usually he just say say nia. Today he was ranting on it.

Just paid a year of insurance. Poorer by 2k suddenly. Time to save up again...

NH:
No fish no nothing. Nothing happen for this area.

NLM:
My mother has been going casino way way way WAYYYY too often! A few weeks ago, I actually didn't really have the chance to talk to my mother for like consecutive 6 days. Okay lah, not really her fault. I was away at KL for like 3 days. The other 3 days, she either went casino or MJ.

What's the hotline for gambling counselling?

KTPH and Me

Recently I've been visiting Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. Nothing really that serious. If any of you can recall, sometimes you'll see me limp for a few days just out of a sudden. It's my left ankle (most of the time it's left, sometimes it might be right). Some have advised me to go see doctor and stuff, but all along I didn't want (read: lazy).


Then during my ICT during July, the day after my short outfield exercise, my left ankle started giving me problem. The day after got route march, thinking about chao keng a bit, so I went to see the MO. At the same time, I just decided to ask MO to refer me to see specialist. You know.. It's better to play safe than to be sorry.

So... that's the prelude, and began my frequent visit to KTPH.

On my first visit, the specialist diagnosed me with achilles tendonitis. Then the x-ray shows that there's some minor calcification of my achilles tendon. Nothing major. Chill...

This specialist referred me to the podiatry clinic to get some insoles for my feet. Then told me to come back for physiotherapy. I think I'm getting milked dry in this hospital. First consultation + x-ray is about 40+bucks.

The second visit, I went for the first session of physio. It was bad. Real bad. Immediately that day, my left calf started to ache. The following 2 days, I was limping badly. Cost me 30+bucks after subsidy.

And for next visit , I went to the podiatry clinic. Another doctor examined my foot, going through the same procedure of asking questions and demonstration of walking, squatting, tiptoeing, etc. Then this doctor gave me 2 choices of insoles - 1 off-the-shelf insoles costing around 60+bucks, or a custom-made pair costing around 200+bucks. The former can last for 6-9months, while the latter can last for 2-3 yrs. And yeah... I went for the latter one. Ka-ching!! another 200+ close to 300bucks gone.

And guess what?!?? Next week I have another session of physio. September I'll have my review with the specialist. *shake head*Oh yeah, that reminded me. I should start work more on the exercises and stretching that the physiotherapist asked me to do. Damn.... Currently I'm like doing them once every few days.

This new hospital overall not bad lah. Anyway, KTPH by right is to replace Alexandra Hospital one.

And my final comment on KTPH - it's bloody far.....
