Positive Thoughts about Work

It is now Sunday evening, with another 12 hours or so to go before the work week begins in ernest. Drurry, drurry. But as much as I'm tempted to mope about the looming Monday blues and the heap of endless tasks awaiting me at the big-O (O for Office, that is), I won't. I shall channel my chi to reinforce all the good stuff there is about my job. Yes, call it "psyching myself up good till I lose sight of what's not so good."

To start, the company that I work for had moved to a new building complex in Oct 2007, which, in my opinion, is an improvement from the run-down environment I called office for the past 6+ years.

We are now based in PJ's Jaya 33 which houses some spiffy restaurants, a supermart and other convenient retail outlets. There is even a gym but that's the subject of another possible blog altogether. Across this building are more restaurants (with cheaper offerings), the post office, banks, bookstores, etc. It is certainly a plus point to have these amenities a short walk away so that I can have lunch or run errands (if any) and be able to get back to work in a jiffy.

What bout within the big-O itself? Well, I like the fact that all the furniture's new. Woohoo, the little joys in life! There are more windows, brightening up the place and affording me a generous view of the traffic and weather; that is, whenever I have the chance to look away from my laptop. We have a nursing room for breastfeeding moms, a surau and plenty of discussion/tele-conference rooms. I like where I sit too - in a very open concept system, I still have some privacy as I sit with my back facing the wall-window-pillar in a quasi corner, unlike some colleagues who are smack in the middle of the room with human traffic behind them.

It's a good thing I at least like the big-O set-up because goodness, I do spend about 12 hours a day, 5 days a week holed up in this place. So typing this up reinforces one good stuff about my job.

And may I have a productive work week ahead!
