it is come to my mind from time to time, that normally i don't go to a proper interview to get my previous or my current job. went back to my previous 4 jobs, most of them is not really having a proper interview on me. but one which i most remember is when i got a call to attend to an interview at 4 PM, while i don't really know the exact location of the venue, and it's 1 PM which i'm not sure whether i can get early leave. i manage to come on time, well a bit late, but it's 4 PM and i've already in the building, but somehow reluctant to enter the office due to no information shows that it is the office i want to go to. after met with the security guard, who ask me to wait, and i met this guy, it's a foreigner. a friend who informed me about this job is not telling me that i had to go for interview with a foreigner. what i'm worried about is my english which was very rusty. been years that i'm not using it. so, my future boss then asking ...

things are all in crisis. it happened after covid-19 pandemic break. it damage everything too other than human life. the covid-19 pandemic causing people must stay at home, thus the economy slowing. some people managed the opportunity to work from home, but alas some company cannot afford it. and it end up with layoff. so is this office. luckily the management not going to fire anyone in the next 5 or 6 months, but they must cut the salary off to 60% let see how long this things will be going on. hopefully things can come back as normal soon.

when i decide to bring a mug from home, i choose the less attractive one, so nobody would bother to use it. and recently i found that my mug is regularly used by one of the colleague. maybe it is better to write my name on the mug

so there's this project which is kebakaran and need some fire extinguisher. one of them is coming via account manager, is to invite the client project manager to have lunch. the thing is the project manager is too quiet, and the account manager seem lost of things to be basa-basi-in. in the end it all feel awkward, i try to jump in to some random topics, while since nobody tek-tok-an with me, then it all goes nowhere.

so, there's a messed up on our report to client, hence they angry. while we still cannot provide the report that they want, they summoned us to come to their office. one of the guy stressed so much, so causing gastric pain, the other one is having feverish from yesterday which seem still not fully recovered, and one guy suddenly having an eye problem since morning. and client won't listen to any excuse "because we are all sick, so please spare us"

have you ever work in starbucks ? quite often? how does it feel? so, just this afternoon i work in starbucks , right after meeting wrapped around lunch time. the project manager was not eager back to the office, so there we were, choosing one corner of the sofa in starbucks which located in the same building as our client. since the sofa is equipped with electric socket, no worries of running of battery while working. and starbucks provide a free wifi too, since the first time opening the laptop, i felt off. the crowd talking and laughing, the sound system playing music. it's just noisy enough to distract your mind away from your task. and in Starbucks you need  to purchase one of the beverages. which is not cheap. and the wifi was intermittently disconnected. one of the positive point is, since we all in one team; it's easy to discussed the work, and understand each other. if you are a regular toilet visitor, it is kind worried to left your devices laying aro...

the last time i resigned, it probably happened more than 15 years ago. despite i've changing company due to previous layoff. so last month was my first resignation since years. i try to make it simple, since i know what kind of situation that my ex-colleague has been through when they resigned. alas it makes me stressed. so much pressure, makes me not well preparing the farewell thingy. just shake hand to most of the colleague, and miss some of them due to not in the office , and it's friday.
