back
at last! some time alone with my arjuna XD
a lot of things have happened, but don't a lot always happen?
job's job i'm still employed, thank god. however, being a resident of the "perfect world" forced into the "real world" really has its setbacks. for one, i'm really starting to get uncomfortable with workmates who either take work too lightly or too seriously. now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that either way won't work too hot for the company.
a dull boy all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. but hell, it's ignorant to scrap work for fun altogether. considering how much the company pays us like 700 a day, it's at least an imperative that we take our job seriously. but even so, there's so much more reason to take the job seriously, more than money. now, i'd understand the fact that after a while, the job really loses its glitter, especially when things start getting routine, but damn! there's still that line where you become a liability, and you better be damn sure you dont cross it so early in the game . . .
anal then again, there is that other line where you just become plain stuck up. work is not school, plain and simple. people don't grade you that way anymore. it's about delivering good stuff on time, and most of the time that means one thing: compromise. now, it's one thing to be right, and another thing to be anal about it. there are people who stick to the letter of the rule so bad that the spirit actually dies in the process. besides, it's just plain ignorant to think that you actually have to do everything by yourself, refusing help from people willing to lend a hand.
the tao in line with this, these are some things i'd like to share, to help you on days you feel like hanging yourself over your job ^^
learn to like what you do. or at least the people you do it with
this doesn't mean that you have to force yourself to like it; rather, this means see something in what you do that will make it worthwhile. after all, it is still all about how you feel at the end of the day.
see the big picture
this may sound a little arrogant, but that company you're working for is YOUR company. a sense of ownership of the company will help in seeing the big picture, and knowing your significance to the company that helps in motivating you to do what you have to do.
take time to be right
when you feel the urge to slack off during work, try to think about what you have to do if you didn't do it right; that'll straighten you =P. but seriously, doing things right the first time around really helps. not only will it ease the burden later on, but having faster output also aids in diversifying your job (read : less boring).
maybe i'll add to the list later on . . . sorta lost my track there XD
