First, i would like to start this entry by thanking my PM for coming back to the office after the afternoon meeting in Jurong West...and listen to crap things of NY and Jessie...and hearing me "backstab" Jessie. I think you could have just went home straight cos you're not feeling well...get well soon so that you can savour the nuts cocktail :)
Hey Rubes, i saw this in your blog and i just have to say i truly understand how you feel. Sorry to hear about your work spouse...ex-work spouse :p but you're a strong gal, you'll be fine. Maybe your next work spouse will be just as good..if not better ya. I guess it's the same everywhere...people leaves because of management, sometimes people leaves because of horrible colleagues. But hey, your company is still a good place :) imagine having the belly dancing teacher teaching at your company. I mean like wow, you have facilities for these stuff...and i thought where i am is good cos there is a small gym hahaha
In my first year here, people started leaving...batch by batch and i am not used to it. Come April, i am gonna be here for a year. Fast and nice. I have not gotten used to saying "wish you all the best" stuff, especially people whom are close to you. It hurts like you can feel a pinch in your heart..but i guess that's part and parcel of life hmmm
Anyway, let's meet up soon and catch up...over wine of cos :)

"Emotionally Drained
I felt so emotionally drained today. Alone supporting the team is alrighty (I am grateful that a colleague logged in from M'sia to answer some queries) but what made me so tired was the sad scenario when I had to host my work spouse (ex-work spouse really). It was a totally different feeling and I am just extremely sad and affected. It doesn't help when I know that he is also putting on a front with basically "I don't care because I am forcing myself not to care!" attitude and it's very sad. I am still trying to cope with the lost of a dear colleague and to see him being treated well "escorted" around the premises and not being able to talk freely about work and to be mindful that I cannot tell him work-related things is extremely taxing. I was almost close to tears. I would cope much better if he had just given 24 hours and leave us in the lurch (at least I can curse and swear!) just like my ex-colleague who is now with a compeititor (we still keep in regular contact).
This reminds me of my working days in Melbourne. It was nice for the first year and suddenly people started to leave. Not because of the colleagues (everyone is really nice and friendly - we even bake cakes and celebrate everyone's birthday) but because of managment. Politics basically drove people to leave. Not just people but some really great people who are competent in their jobs. Perhaps it's always the case. Things are rosy for the first year when you join a new company cos you are a newbie....."
