Are We Coming To The End of The Road?

Yet again today, the boss told us that the offer letter will be delayed. It was supposed to be sometime this week, or so everyone speculated that it will be on the 25th of February. However, that will not be happening as well. It doesn't look good for the company who is going to 'take over' the IT operations. Believe me, the easiest thing they're doing so far is to finalise the takeover. The hard part is actually in running the show once they finalised the deal. Man, it's not easy to run an IT shop. It's about meeting customers' requirements and we had to deliver them nevertheless. Sometimes, we feel like we're slaves, never really being appreciated for our efforts. But I've learnt to notice that some people do appreciate and it is for what these people showed, I am willing to go the extra mile while doing my job.

Maybe to some people (like my boss), it ain't over till the fat lady sings. But we need to look forward and see what opportunities will be coming our way. We should see this as an opportunity to consider our next course of action. Maybe it's time for a career change. To some people, the change will be good if they join the new company as they'll be able to develop further their skills. As for me, the judgement is still open on this one. It's been playing inside my head hundreds of times during the long weekend we just had. Do I want to move to KL quickly? Or should I do something that will be better for my career in the long run? Do I have the necessary skills to be competitive? It's not an easy decision to make. Actually, I told Awi, this is even more difficult to decide than the time when I decided to marry her. :)

I've been spending a lot of time at the plant in recent days, supervising the network upgrade project. It's tiring but I do enjoy myself even though Awi wasn't so happy when I came back at 4 in the morning. I kind of like working with the contractors assigned to this project. Even though they have some problems with being punctual but I like their attitude. It's good to see those traits in people and I'm sure they'll go far if they keep that up.

Haziq hasn't been well also since last week. It started with fever and now he's having running nose and coughing. And since he's grown a bit too, it's more difficult to give him medicine and milk when he's 'meradang'. But Awi handles these incidents very competently...must be mother's instincts and skills, I suppose. Do pray that he'll get better in the next few days.
