Yes! I am talking about my ex-colleagues in Bloomberg. From colleagues, we became friends, and really good friends. Dinner with them last night at Spaggedies was just simply fantastic. It was a simple dinner but the people there made it great. I really miss the days we spent in BBG's office. It was simply the greatest chapter in my life cos' I have made friends like you!

We were a bunch of fresh grads who took up this 3 weeks contract assignment after 3 rounds of interview and given high hopes of being converted to perm. BUT things did not turn out so well, we had to leave after 3 weeks. Everyday at BBG was just simply like a paid holiday. We had lunch together, yes all 10 of us. n on the last day, we even had a great drinking session.

Finally after about 2 months of job search all over again, we're all in good hands I would say. Mostly in banking industry. It's indeed hard to get together as most of us work till really late. But I really appreciate those who turned up despite being tired after one long day. What was the most enjoyable was being able to laugh freely. This is so unlike being in office. You know in office, most of the people are much older than us, with an age gap, we can only remain colleagues, not friends. But with this bunch of people, you can just speak your heart, shoot each other with regards to what they say and no one turns a black face. This is the best cos' we talk about anything, even our salaries arent confidential. All in all, I am waiting for the next meet up with them, which will be one month later! Ahhh so long...

Putting the happy times aside, just like to mention some of my inner tots. I m beginning to feel all the office politics in my dept. Big boss ain't very nice, cos she screams and put across nasty remarks, especially when she isn't in a good mood. Small boss slightly better cos she doesn't scream but she does say sacarstic remarks, feels that she's a hypocrite at times. N colleagues, they talk behind each other's backs, tho putting a nice front in front of each other. I won't be surprised if I have already become their topic. Really feel like a hypocrite, right? But, I gotta learn to take their remarks and what they say like one ear in one ear out. Poof.. I guess it's part and parcel of life.

Another thing I would like to vent is that I don't believe in working late. So why should boss appraise you based on what time you go home? Before I went home today, small boss was like saying "wah, the sky out there very dark, as tho the world is coming to an end (cos it's only 630, and the sky looked like it's 8pm). You shouldn't go back so soon as it is dangerous." Isn't it directly telling me, how come you go off exactly at 630, you should be working till a later time! But I did not bother and I jus said "staying on, the sky will still look the same color, unless you stay till tmr morning, the sky will look normal, and by that time, it's a new day, you can't go back home." No wonder both big boss n small boss are single tho they are already 40+. They believed in working late, thus no time for dates, no time for friends, less to say for boyfriends. So i was telling my colleagues that I am only 22, if i work till 8 or 9 everyday, i still have to slog for another 30 odd years and then I can retire. I don't want to work like this everyday. In the future, probably when i have a very heavy workload and I cant finish, I will automatically stay back. For now, I don't see a point as I have always finished my stuff way before the deadline (it's like 1 week before the deadline, I have finished the report) I am an efficient worker! n my aim everyday is to go off at 630pm!

Ahhh... Feel so much better after I vent it all out here. Thanks for bearing with me! Lookin forward to tmr! I can finally meet Jiaying! Yay! Tmr quickly come! N then Fri will come and I can see my darling~~
