Jobs

 Was trying to think things through. I hate applying for jobs like many people do. Yet, I also hate working culture. Before you enter that culture, you liked the job. After getting the job, you gradually hated your job.

Right now, I have no portfolios apart from those bootcamp stuff. I think I won’t be able to share work related projects since it is under NDA. I don’t really have lots of coding background. Fit into cultures when all I care was code. Reading about the job description and the processes actually reminded me of me being in that kind of condition again. That just sounded so much like it. Why people wouldn’t want or why people would want to. I don’t think it is totally management. More like tradition. A kind a toxic tradition. Baseless tradition. Hand me down tradition. Not my fault tradition. Oops tradition. Lazy tradition. Many more if you named them. If everything never changed, meaning, everything that was done to prevent that never turned out to be fruitful. I am not clever but sometimes frustrated. Everybody did but they continue on.

Like while I was ice skating at the rink. I have been skating in the same direction for too many rounds that one of my legs felt stressful repeating the turn. I tried to do the other direction. Well, that’s disastrous. That’s when you are forced back to the same direction as it is with all kinds of work. Too many people, changing direction is a great effort.

Fishes were the same. At SEA Aquarium, there is a small aquarium where you can view the small fishes from the top. It’s a small one and the school of fishes were actually turning round and round a rock in the same direction. Getting busy. Are they lost. When there is a bigger space, that won’t be the case.

We are just fishes that kept moving. 

Anyway, I will just see which comes first but I am really tired on keep focusing on the interviews. I felt like everytime I did or to do some works, I thought about the next interview and the next. It is like a stopper. If I lost this job, will this be good for the next interview. If I did this job, the same question go. Once again, the fish in pod. All my life, it felt like an interview. Not all, mostly during Uni and thereafter. All you do was never aiming for a good cause but a good career which doesn’t exist. I think a good career only exist when people make them so. 

back to square one. Well a circle.

Maybe I am not good enough and I should save the time to make out what I can achieve.

Cuts

 I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct.  I also think ...

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.
