Coretan Hari Ini

Kenapa tak balik lagi? Naper? Naper?

M-a-l-a-s. Dok opis lagi best. Dapat blogging. Dapat borak2. Besok masuk keja pukul 2 ptg. Stay back la sampai 12 malam. Apa nak buat.

Tengah survey nak beli laptop. Kalau dapat carik laptop yg murah, aku nak beli secepat mungkin. Rindu nak buat design2 nih. Huhu...!

Anyway, pagi tadi aku call bos lama, nak tanya pasal hal keja. Then borak2 pasal kat mane aku akan diletakkan abis je 'so-called' training program nih. Dia tau, aku pun tau.

'I'd probably assign news publication to you. It will be a joint newsletter for both companies, but you'll be the focal point. How about that?'

Newsletter? It sounds b-o-r-i-n-g, to be brutally honest. Aku cuma suka tulis kat blog, bukan tulis pasal benda formal.

'That sounds wonderful,' I lied.

Of course aku tau aku akan ditempatkan kat mana kalau aku setuju. Kat mana lagi kalau tak ceruk yang sama? No.... way. Ceruk ini dah membunuh semangat dan selera aku.

'It was mentioned that one of the trainees had been looking outside the boundary of the company.' Tetiba dia bersuara. Diam sebentar.

'So how was it?' He sounded curious. Aku tergelak. Memang, persekitaran aku tak boleh dipercayai. Aku dah belajar dari pengalaman yg perit. Jangan percaya kat sesapa.

'It was a refreshing experience. I just want to find out how's the market, you know, for a certain negotiation, if need be.' Aku selamba mengakuinya.

'Well. Loyalty to the company aside, one has to be happy with the environment to be productive,' dia membuat kesimpulan sendiri. Aku tersenyum.

Bila aku bagitau kat Jen, mulut Jen ternganga. 'They knew??' She sounded horrified. 'Well, they're not that stupid,' aku main2 ngan kad yang aku tampal kat dinding kaca. 'You're not...' 'No. ' Aku mahu jujur ngan diri-sendiri. Aku nak aku suka ngan kerja yang aku lakukan. Aku tak nak terasa terpaksa bila buat something. Bila rotate department pun aku dah rasa boring, apa lagi kena attach lama2 kat satu department. Kalau dah tak minat, kenapa nak paksa diri?

Penat la. Nak balik.

Brochure Design

Seperti yang dijanjikan, nilah brochure yg aku dah buat, tapi dah kene reject at the last minute. Tak pe la. Janji aku dapat mengabiskan masa ngan Photoshop, cukup le. Kapal terbang dalam gambar yg tengah terbang di awangan tu, ekceli just model aircraft je. Tapi nampak macam real kan? Hehe. Aku ngan Chairman la, buat keja jenayah profesional.

Nilah 1st effort aku nak wat brochure. Selama nih buat design yang sempoi & tak perlu theme yang complicated sangat. So this time, kena make sure all pages ikut theme. Tapi in the end, kene reject. Lantak la. Kalau dieorang dah fikir brochure yg tak de grafik & penuh ngan perkataan tu lebih, err, profesional, ikut citarasa depa la. Bagi aku, aku nak minimize kan perkataan, sebab more attention-grabbing macam tu. Tapi, lain padang lain belalang...

When September Ends

All of a sudden, we had a meeting with 3 GMs today. After 3 &%#!* months we never had that *^&%#! sessions, there was an email that announced we had to attend it this afternoon.

Of course they had to wait until I came back from my hometown, but I personally felt that it was just a waste of time because I made a point to just shut up.

Anyway, during this meeting, my 3 other buddies also decided to shut up. So when they asked us how do we feel on certain issues, I continued scribbling cartoons in my notebook, Jen looked at Ainie, then looked at Chairman. Then Jen & Ainie both looked at me.

'So you still find it hard to talk?' asked one casually. I stifled a yawn and an aswer (I find it purposeless).

Let's cut the story short. One of them broke the indications of where we might expect ourselves to be permanently attached starting next month. Result:

1. Chairman - Business Development
2. Jen - Retail
3. Ainie - Erm. Public Relations
4. Carneyz - Corp. Comm.

We are feeling quite sorry towards Ainie, of course, but inside my head, there's an emergency meeting taking place.

To take? Or not to take? This organization needs major changes. The management refuse to discuss it openly, or accept that the are serious problems happening. If I was permanently attached to this particular department, what can I do to change status quo? While the movers & shakers of the company is the Commercial people, how would I be able to fix these problems in order to move things forward?

The issue boils down to whether I still could bear working in this chaotic conditions. Whether I still have the passion for this place (at the moment, I have none). I prepared myself for the worse by seeking other opportunities, but I would feel unhappy leaving things still broken as it is. It's a matter of how strong & patient I can be.

We'll see la, when September ends.

Balik Dari Kampung

Ntah naper aku try upload gambar brochure yg aku dah siapkan tu tapi tak dapat. So tak bley la nak show gambar tu kat blog nih.

Selama 3 hari nih aku cuti, balik kampung. Seronok la dapat balik :) Nasib baik tak kena tinggal flight ke Kuching hari tu. Jen bawak ngan lajunya ke airport (Thanks Jen! Hope u like the souvenir I bought :) ) & aku ngan lajunya berlari ke counter check in...

'Alamak! Closed ke?' Aku dah panik. Tapi aku tanya gak, 'Tak boleh open ke?' Mamat tu kontek staff yg jaga kat aerobridge, then terus mintak ic aku. Fuuhhh... Lega. Kalau tak ber 'explorace' kat airport nih, tak de thrill kot idup aku nih.

So, anyway, aku bawak balik kek batik utk orang kat opis. Memandangkan aku dah kat dua opis berbeza, so aku kena bahagi dua kek tu. Bila gi main office jap tadi, tengok2 dah abis. Ramai gak la yang tanya ada lagi ke tak. Bila disoalsiasat, rupa2nya this time bukan Ainie yg mengabiskan kek tu, tapi Chairman! Patut la dia tanya boleh tempah kek batik kat aku tak.Hehe. Kalau amik order wat kek untuk raya nih, kompem laku. Boleh la wat support tiket nak balik :p
