Personal Ailment
My nose is as runny as a broken tap, the back is feeling a tad sore. And the massive headache is not helping either. Probably its time to wind down a wee bit and rest. I have been so tied up with work that I have not been having much rest. So i guess the body is creating a riot right now.
Saturday was spent tidying up a report which by hook or by crook needs to be out on Monday. I dread doing this report as it is done on excel format. Imagine trying to match figures and update 33k worth of data on excel. Ugh. The thought itself is enough to give me a week's worth of migraine. But thats work for me. This project is uber important as it will definitely boost up the chances of getting transferred out a different department, when the opportunity arise of course.
The department that I am part of right now is not that bad. I have a really nice supervisor whom has been pretty understanding with everything that I have been through. Environment is not as bad as Citi however, I do not foresee myself as being in this position forever. I would like to be in a position where I actually applied whatever that I have studied. I mean, what has mass comm got to do with what I am doing now? This is just a stepping stone for me to move forward to other departments, say marketing? I have to admit that I am a little tired of being in a financial/banking industry. Being in an industry which I have zero interest in for the past 5 years is more than what one could actually take. However, to move on to a different industry would mean that I would have to start right from the bottom, which at my age, I do not perceive it as a viable move. So what do I do? Stay and just keep up with this mundane routine or move on and seek greener pastures?
Sigh. I am clearly disoriented right now.
