Bitter coffee, chocolate, and a good net connection. Ah, what a night! Haha.
Earlier, when I was in the kitchen waiting for the water for my coffee to boil, my brother and I accidentally head butted each other. I was going to scoop up my pet, Luffy, from the floor and my brother was trying to reach down to a box beside me. It's quite surprising that we clashed when we weren't even in a hurry. I remember watching his cheeks getting nearer and nearer to my face -yes, in slo-mo! But still, I did not move aside... In retrospect, I guess we were both thinking that the other would dodge and so we, inevitably and regrettably, collided. It hurt! How we take family for granted, for the smallest of things! Hahahaha. My brother and I got angry for a second and then we realized how foolish we were trying to blame the other for not dodging the other. Fools, I tell you! Haha. We laughed it off in the end.
Anyway, here I go again. Trying to revive this blog. Or rather, attempting to dust off the dullness in my head again. Have I ever mentioned before that typing relaxes me? Yes, I feel good whenever I hear those tiny tapping sounds when I type. I feel like my brain is about to wake up from a deep slumber whenever I hear the familiar sound of the keyboard. Like a soft music for an alarm. Like the morning light slowly creeping in your room to fill it with warmth. I don’t know. Have you ever felt this way when you type?
Moving on. The Australian business that my company is managing has, unfortunately, been sold. And our team would be divested, most probably sooner than later. It came as a shock to all of us. We thought we were going to grow old in this job. Actually, we’ve had this divestment scare twice before. But I now believe that third time’s the charm. Well, it must be! There are brief moments when it can be very gloomy in the office these days. Just short pauses of sadness and then we try to cheer up each other again. There are people that I’ve been working with for almost eight years now. And it’s kinda devastating to think we might no longer see each other every day. I love the people in my team (most of them at least, haha). I don’t know if you’d ever find staff so eager for their team huddles like we do. Huddles are, to us, a time to relax. A few minutes to joke with each other. To have a good laugh and alleviate some of the stress from work. We have this little group in our company wherein people from different departments convene and get to raise their grievances to human resources. And then, they would try and help resolve the concerns raised. I was told that our department had to be the happiest people in the company. Whereas people in other departments had some issues with grave matters like integrity or respect, our team’s issue was not having a microwave in the pantry. Ahaha. And that, I tell you, is a good proof that I’m in good company. We are a happy bunch. =)
I don’t know how fast the changes in our organization are going to happen. In a month’s time? Or in a few weeks time, everything might change. Even my shift might change. There’s a big possibility I’d have to work on graveyard again. I don’t know if I can deal with that. But I’m hoping that in the department I’ll be transferred to there will still be the familiar faces I’ve grown to love. If not all, then at least a few of them. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
I hate having to write about sad stuff. I have a strong aversion to melancholy things. But sometimes I have no choice but to face them. At least once.
. . . . . . . . . .
So, okay, moving onto happy and fluffy things! I’m so blessed to have this little creature to keep me company. He’s so funny and squishable and adorable! I took this picture the other day. I was trying to finish Mary Poppins (because I got curious about the original novel after watching "Saving Mr. Banks"). But he wouldn’t leave me in peace unless I give him a treat. Thankfully, I have those little paw dog biscuits handy. XD
