freedom awaits

after 2 and a half long years of complaining, bitching and wanting to fly away, I've finally done the deed on 8th Sep.

was supposed to be already gone by 19th but i'm staying till 29th to do whatever i can to clean up the department's mountain of templates

i broke down when i handed the letter. haha. quite silly considering how much i've been wanting to leave ever since "ever since".

but there was just a gush of emotions at that moment.

how i'm really comfortable with the people here, with my seat, my computer and the executive toilet. (hah)
how this is my first job after graduation and i'm moving to a totally new industry facing totally new challenges.
how the bosses are sometimes tolerable.
how she is able to finally recognise my abilities and had been giving me more and more new responsibilities.
how i have to leave noormie and keng behind..
how i wont be able to have weekly lunches with xer xer anymore.
how i wont be having my gigantic inbox with emails all the way from 2006.
how i will have to ditch the irritating emails sent by them which i kept till today.

but ever since throwing the letter, there were many instances where i thank goodness for being able to fly away soon. like when she comes up with even more extensive and time-consuming meaningless templates, like when there are people here with asses on their heads instead of the brain, like when one single newspaper article can make the whole company change their business model instantly, like when i have to sit in for 6 meetings in a day, like when i have to answer stupid questions daily from assheads.

i'm thankful.

oh yeah. she asked the welfare team to do a farewell for me. how shocking is that?! but of course it won't be a dedicated session. it has to be combined with joyful events such as 3 other people's birthdays. money is only well-spent that way, ya'know?

anyway, i'm appreciative.

countdown. 7 days to 29th :)

oh yeah. i've not forgotten the dream of flipping the table and breaking the laptop. the slow and sucky lenovo seems to be perfect. :)

control freak

Wikipedia:

In Folk psychology-related slang, control freak is a derogatory term for a person who attempts to dictate how everything around them is done. It can also refer to someone with a limited number of things that they want done a specific way; professor of clinical psychology Les Parrott wrote that "Control Freaks are people who care more than you do about something and won't stop at being pushy to get their way.

In some cases, the control freak sees their constant intervention as beneficial and even necessary; this can be caused by feelings of superiority, believing that others are incapable of handling matters properly, or the fear that things will go wrong if they don't attend to every detail. In other cases, they may simply enjoy the feeling of power it gives them so much that they automatically try to gain control of everything around them.

****************************

Such an apt term.

I'm wondering how it is to be living a life of a control freak. so unhappy, so hated by everyone, so unloved, so stressed. this control freak i know has been sending numerous emails to everyone in the middle of the night at 4am. what is she doing? does she know it is sleeping time? a time where she can finally relax herself and give everyone else a break?

Every single thing is under her control. marketing, production, database, even nitty gritty stuffs like stationaries, telephone lines, claims, telemarketing, temp staff etc etc etc etc etc. A one-woman-show. Where everybody else is falling under her control, as puppets. People who are not allowed to have their own ideas. Yes ideas are encouraged but when each ideas are faced with 1000 stupid questions by the control freak, no one bothers to try anymore.

It's so hard to live her life. Such pathetic life..
