Yesterday was a day i dont think I can quite forget. It was a day of news, both good and bad. Let's start with the bad news or what I shld say SAD news. Ard 10ish in the morning, a friend msned me and broke the news that a friend's mum just passed away. Shock is just a small word that described my feelings when I read it. I couldn't believe it. It was a long battle with cancer, liver cancer to be exact. There were signs of recovering but it striked again and this time it was too late. Though I dont know the mum well enough, she did come across as someone really nice and accomodating, sweet and at peace. The loss will indeed be great, but I'm glad to see the family holding on strong for her and for themselves.
God Bless you Auntie, for you are with HIM in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Now for the other news. I also dunno whether to call it good news, but perhaps news which most of my colleagues been waiting to hear. My immediate boss has resigned. He called for a meeting yesterday to announce his decision. He said it was mixed feelings and that he felt he needed something else to motivate him. Well, I do think his worth in the company is dwindling down. Personally, he really needs to move to a new environment. It will do him some good. See more of the world out there and realise that Life is much more than just him alone.
Anyway, we kinda knew tis will happen, but did not anticipate it to be so soon. My colleagues and I were even talkin abt it during lunch. He broke the news after lunch. Well, I've only been in the organisation for like a yr odd, I have heard stories about him and I've experienced a little of it. He is someone not easy to work with, coz he's a micro manager. But that's history now. The future of my department is somewhat blurred now. With us being unsure what is our new direction. It doesn't quite help when the organisation itself is gng through a transformation. It is definately going to be a trying period for me.
It used to be that because my boss is such a bad leader, that it contributed to my decision to leave. But now that he's leaving, will I still want to leave? Perhaps the morale will be upped and I won't leave just yet. But then again, i really dun want to be stucked in events for life. I guess I'll start deciding again after my Melbourne event.
