Zombie Menara Batu

(title adapted from 'Zombie Kampung Pisang')

Lately I've been operating like a zombie at work. It has been very busy, I don't even have time to think. All I know when I reached office is either attending training or conducting training. Any days there's no training planned, will quickly be filled with ad-hoc programmes. Help!!!! Even yesterday and today I have to attend a training. I excused myself by lunch time today as I don't fell well.

Sickness is the only excuse to take some rest it seems. Even then, it didn't work all the time. When we have to conduct any training, we can only cancel if we're hospitalised. So far, no trainers has been hospitalised yet so I saw everyone continued with their training programmes come fever, flu, diarrhea, period pain and what not.

The evaluation ratings has not been compiled, the pre and post test has not been marked. The preparation for the supposedly special development programme is not yet done. Files and papers are piling up at my desk. When I can't stand the mess, I just shoved everything under my desk. Sigh! I can't wait to take leave.

Everyone at the office is working like mad. At least I have planned my leave well ahead and the office respected that plan enough not to ask me to cancel them. For that, I'm very grateful. Looking at our work load, I already thought to myself that if they're not thoughtful enough, I'll just tender my resignation.

I'm already working like mad. If all that effort is put for my own company, I'm sure I can survive too. Thankfully, it didn't have to come to that. The economic climate looks very uncertain now. I don't want to take any chances yet. There are still opportunities to learn and grow at work. I'll leave when I felt the job has become monotonous.

So for the time being I'll continue operating like Zombie Menara Batu. I still get to leave office latest by 7 p.m. What's the point of staying back when the work never seems to finish. I'd rather go back and have dinner with hubby or go to my yoga classes.
