If I had to name my strengths I have at work, I would say it would be motivation, hard work, ease with big time speakers (once I have gotten over the fact that harmless flirting is totally harmless) and little doses of anal retentiveness.
I used to be able to work hard on all weekdays, bring work and the *passion into the weekends and still remain all *idealist and optimistic for things to come.
Truth is the old me is starting to fade away. Like now, I just don't have the mood to finish up my brochure for my Prepaid Mobile Summit. Neither have I done anything for research (other than print out loads of reading material) for my next conference on corporate communications.
I don't know if it is a case where I have no other actual work experience to compare, but work life is really starting to drain and I sorely miss the free time and the slower pace... you know, to read and contemplate (seriously, despite a part-research job I don't enjoy mental meditations as much... evident in blogging only about boyfriend lately) and help out with charity and bake cookies (stuff like that).
To put it in other words, I don't think I really hate my job as much (contrary to complaints I have been telling my friends lately). I think I just hate having to work.

On the flipside, I think *sheercrazyme is loving her job and has a wonderful observation blog.
And on another note, I have joined True Yoga and quit Planet Fitness. Would I recommend the yoga centre? - No. The classes don't fit expectations, their member features are so basic and you even have to bring your own lock for your locker, and staff is pushy with sales and lack a friendly appeal. I was even told that they cold call people to sell packages (I am displeased because the centre is practically spilling out from all sides with the worst yoga practitioners I have ever seen).
Despite the lack of yoga classes at Planet, I am definitely heading back to Planet after my six month tryout at True Yoga. It really says something about quality, not only about the yoga instructor being much more skilled, but that the practitioners are more advanced in the few available weekly yoga classes. Plus, I am missing the variety of kickboxing, aerobics and step classes available.
Talk about post buying remorse!

p.s.s. Have found another way to use the croutons. I added them to a stir fry tomato dish! Yummy Chinese & English fusion.

Sheer doesn't love her job. But thank you for saying she has a "wonderful observation blog". *laconic*
Actually, it is more in line of Sheer being too free and there are too many stereotypes in Sheer's new job that begs for spoof writing.
And yes, as Oscar Wildes says: "I don't want to work for a living; I want to live". Don't we all?
Give *Damsel some slack for wanting to give a shout out for *Sheer's blog.
At 10.13pm and still in the office, *Damsel would be loving (big time) *Sheer's job.
Gee. Thanks for the "publicity". *roll eyes*
Sheer offers her sympathies to *Damsel for working late so frequently.
Friendship compels Sheer to inform thee that my department will be recruiting soon. But honesty compels Sheer further to admit that I have some doubts about you *loving my job.
You quit the gym already? J
Thank you, *Sheer. *Damsel wonders why the thoughts of *Damsel's not loving the work you do.
Yes, J, I have already quit. Last day is 24 December.
Perhaps because Sheer and *Damsel are absolutely different. So working on that basis, a job that suits me, including research on corporate governance might not be your cup of tea.
dunno. shrug.
