Economic downturn impacted majority of people with unprecedented dismay. I felt the punch quite deeply. My recovery is slow but showing progress. I have learnt the lessons and I'm ready to give it another shot. Besides that, the company annouced mandory 10 days off in March which I have been looking forward to getting a break. We're planning to go to Arizona & NM while Sze Min is taking a one-day class there. I am happy that she is excited for the class.
The break has started with a busy weekend with a friend visiting in town, visitting Nasher Sculture Center and DMA. A hottub retreat was prepared by Sze Min the following day. The stress level has gone down so much and surprisingly I have no problem go to bed and wake up early. My sleeping habit is changed in opposite way during the working days. I felt so much compulsion to go to work with dragging feet. I still work smart and hard as being a responsible employee but the inner side of me shows unhappiness and tense. The truly self of me likes to work in intellectual field, exchange idea/finding with one/two colleagues frequently, research idea innovatively, and am able to schedule my time in good pace. I have no problem to work hard and stay up in long working hour. In the contrary, I do not like to work as being instructed in daily basis and working for somebody who is lack of technical/management skill. I usually look up on somebody who is more knowledgeable and despise person who is lazy and like kissing ass. I have experienced many different occasions. I still learn to read people and discover my potential. The above observations have been clear to me only when I am in stress-free level during writing session.
This is the second day of my break, I sense many good things lying ahead of me. I know my 2nd brother is expecting a baby today, the stock in pre-market session is looking good on financial institution and I have a long day to indulge myself with good food, sport and reading materials...
