I left my old job... which means I have to leave the office as well... because the department does not have post for my new job. Why did I accept the new job? One main reason is because, it's a permanent job in the public sector. The post that I was holding is only a temporary post, contract renews every year, for only so many times. People always ask me why don't I ask for a permanent job for the post that I was holding... well, I did.. but they never called me for interview, what can I do? Appeal? Did that too... It's such a pity because I had learned so much there and encountered so many people I can call friends.
Suddenly I feel like reminiscing the first time I joined the organization... I didn't embrace the situation too well. I disliked most people. Coming from the private sector where the medium of communication was English, I was taken aback at how little these people speak English... how bad was their command. I mean, these are GRADUATES! I knew then why so many graduates where unemployed. If these were the people that DO get employed, I can't imagine for the rest of the graduates who didn't. And not to mention the typical Malay thinking that they carry and preach around... maybe not all, but most that I had my first encounters. But slowly (and I do mean, very slowly).. I got to know a few that I could klik with... (borrowing TMNet's tagline.. ) One of the GFs.. great friends.. the other GF... good food... well, that came and went.. kalau ada pon, agak jauh...
And now, in this new office, all alone during this festive season... I realize that I have to start that all over again... look for those GFs.. in the past 2 months that I have been here, things are not looking so bright especailly the good food part...
(I was planning to write why I accepted this new post but turned out differently... well maybe we can save it for another entry... )
Conclusion: Mmg takde tempat kerja yang best.
