:congrats: Poohbear!


For the long service award! :celebrate:

Ehh... thks Buds..

But honestly, i don feel much pride in getting 10 years leh
Except for the monetary rewards (quite decent, i would say) ... staying in the place too long just make it seem like u cant make it else where... so just got to stay put here...

So i actually purposely slip my name into the D&D list, unnoticed.. so that they didnt announce my name to go collect the award during the D&D... and it really didnt matter since the monetary reward oredi go into my bank :love:

Good thing abt staying in a place for long is, the boss knows u and easy to take leave when the kiddos are down, got more days leave due to long service...

Other than that, its just another job

daisyt,

i have a maid...she will cook on mon-fri...then on weekends will be my turn...
last time when she just work for me....i had to wake up everyday at 4.30 to cook!

Guess we're in the same boat but since DS1 in AM school this year. I've started to change my schedules too and it's aint' no easy.

Im still coping with her and in the thinking of whether should I quit or not...

She's.... \"argh!!\".. hiaz... jus too long a story to talk about maid.

anyway, jia you lor... all the FTWM!

Count me in :lol:


FTWM to 3 kids (P3, P2 and K1).

Challenging challenging. Thanks to my company, I work from home on most fridays (unless I've a mtg I must attend in office). This allows me to spend time with the kids eg. today. But in doing so, it also make me feel that if only I can do more of that, I am sure the kids will benefit alot more. Eg. they are more discipline when I am around. If I am not home, they will end up watching tv and idling and pils just cannot control them. But financially we need dual income so it's not likely for me to be a SAHM.

Also hold a regional job that I try to travel only during school hols. But I've to do a 1 week US trip the following week and now I am thinking of drawing up a \"Things to do\" list for hubby to ensure that he covers that with the kids. But I wonder how much he will be able to accomplish since the men just don't get it. :?

Personally, striking a balance between work and family. Loving my job that gives me work life balance, financial independence but wondering how much longer I can remain in my \"heavenly\" job. I do agree with poohbear that the longer you are in a role, you slip into comfort zone and wonder at your own ability to do something else or move to new environment after a while.

Last but not least with girl in P3 this year, we are trying to adjust to waking up earlier, additional subject, and trying to be home earlier so that we can spend time on homework and revision. On the 1st day, I felt soooo tired and fell asleep on the way to and from work. It's getting better each day but it's just the beginning.

I always doze off in train when there are seats, cannot control myself. :oops: :oops:

I m also a FTWM to a P1 gal. Like Poohbear I have also stayed in a company for 10years. Also, don’t feel that great. Too long can slip into comfort zone. You no longer have the drive. I want to jump industry but not too sure what I m in. So that’s another problem when you stay too long in a company. You become dis-oriented. I m so glad that I m not the only here feeling this way.


Because all my colleagues who stayed very long in the company seems to enjoy themselves. Don’t know why.

Just wondering how many here really looked forward to go back to work every Monday? Many many yonks ago, I looked forward to work but now not anymore. Want to leave this industry but will need to suffer a huge pay cut to go into another industry and my household expenses does not allow that to happen. Its so frustrating…
