I haven't blogged for 2 days and the friends are asking "What's up?!" And I go, "What's the big deal?!"
Yes yes, I'm a net addict- I'm perpetually online and I always have something to whine about on the blog, or pick just 10% out of the daily living of mundane-ness to talk about no matter where I am- as long as there is stable internet access.
No. It's NOT Twitter. Tweeting, as convenient as it is on my Berry, hasn't taken precedence over writing on this blog. To me, tweets and blog posts are separate platforms to air different thoughts and ideas. I don't quite find it difficult to use either. Plenty of different topics to address. Tweets, are a little random, if you will. Blog posts are carefully framed and hopefully more intelligent sounding. :p Since I don't have a job in the writing industry, this blog is my only creative outlet for spastic rants. I've spent 4 years nurturing this blog- ain't letting it go unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant its termination.
I'm not blogging because I've no inspiration or impetus to do so. I haven't had time to sit down, sift through my life and pick out what I want to put out here. My thoughts are filled up by reflections from work and tying up loose ends on the personal charity projects. Those projects are coming along nicely. I'm giving it my all and crossing fingers that it will kickstart something for the greater good.
I'm also flooded at work this week. Beside the usual busy stuff, there is a major event happening which fries my brains during waking hours. Alright. Truth be told- the pay scale doesn't match the hours put in. But who's counting? If I like something, I simply do it. I never took this job for the offered pay. This event has thrown up lots of wonderful points. It is almost enjoyable. The flipside, it serves to concrete all the negativity about my industry, even to the extent of fulfilling certain stereotypes. That takes alot of getting used to. However, what I'm experiencing here, compared to the bitching in the advertising industry, is, frankly, nothing. I'm almost relishing the tight turnaround time. There is a certain sort of rush in making things happen, you know?
The friends hollered, "You've no strategic overview! How to rise up the ladder like that?!" And do I care? I don't. I've zero career ambitions. I like being a little itty bit at work. I'm living my life- the life after hours. And you know what- I honestly wouldn't mind being a personal assistant to a reasonable boss. That sounds peachy.

i was a good assistant to good bosses before. not my job scope, but somehow somewhat i always landed with that job when i served in the various departments in my stat board days. those were the best days in my working life. now i am my own boss. i don't get the kick that much. :P
See? This is what's so great about blogging. Something can be said just about anything, even when you have no inspiration to write anything in the first place! Having said that, your "absence" is sorely felt! ;D
career ambitions ah? I have to sort that one out... :(
heh. being happy is more important than being a beeeeg boss, isn't it? I find managing people the most difficult part of any job.
My dream retirement job is to be a PA or a receptionist. Yes, as you can see, I have zero ambitions when it comes to my career.
idon't really get twitter! why tell everyone every bit of what u're doing!
Just do whatever makes you happy, and feels right to you!
And yes I've done the PA to nice boss thing - wonderful experience and learnt lots! Even if pay was pathetic, it was great! :)
spastic rants? Ne-Vah lah haha
mistipurple: wow. that's cool. a stat board with good bosses?
jomel: hahaha. something like that. aiyoh. to each her own path. i admire you for yours.
wildgoose: ALWAYS! i never had much ambitions even as a student altho the one thing i wanna do is to live life to the fullest.
yann: WAHAHAHHA. me same same.
orientalQ: no need to tell everyone wat. you can decide what you want to put out there. or just share reads/thoughts/music, watever. the theme/topic of your twitter a/c is yours to choose. it simply offers more privacy than facebook.
b.muse: woots! you know wat i mean!
sinlady: AWWWW> I love ya!
