some rantings on work

Well. Today I’m not going to talk about my gay life and thoughts. Instead, I would like to talk about my work.

My work is no good. Maybe I do not have enough experience in workplaces to know what is a good job. Or maybe I’m just too ambitious and idealistic.

To many, my work is good. The pay is slightly more than average (although lowest in the industry). I get to travel from time to time. Currently I get to travel domestically, and most probably will get the chance to travel overseas in a few years. The benefits provided by the company is good, although in exchange I have to comply to some of the seemingly ridiculous codes of conducts.

I want to work in technical field of my background, but ended up in a management work due to hardly avoidable circumstances. Doing management work means I have to deal with budgeting for the department, collecting training plans, keeping track of and giving out stationaries, sending documents to other departments, booking flight tickets and hotels for business trips etc. On the other hand, if I were to be in a technical job, I only need to have the know-hows on the technical side, and the most non-technical thing that I would have to do is only my claims and allowance. It really makes a difference to me when I’m so passionate with my technical skills and knowledge but I’m forced to work on a largely non-related job and not able to resign for a long time. I’m totally not good in doing management work as I’ve realized long ago since my uni days. I don’t do well in managing clubs and events – to certain extends, I don’t even manage myself well. God knows why the hell my employer insists on taking someone who is not good in managing to do management work.

The pay I get now is higher than working in my technical field. But it doesn’t make sense to me to earn more money in exchange of doing what I don’t want to do. I would rather get a lower pay doing something slightly more of my interest where I’m more skillful and confident in.

It is so sad for a 21-y.o. young chap like me to graduate so early. I feel like I haven’t enjoyed my teen life enough before my working life. I know well of the good old Chinese saying “吃得苦中苦,方为人上人”, which means a person who can endure the most suffering sufferings will become the best person among the people. But I think I’m more of a hedonist and I’m not that ambitious to be the best person. ;P

Okay, enough ranting. Tomorrow is another working day. =S

Cold Shoulder

Well, reality.

When someone ‘friend’/’heart’/’message’ you, you put a cold shoulder to him because he doesn’t look good enough for you. And when you ‘friend’/’heart’/’message’ someone else, he cold-shoulders you because you don’t look good enough for him.

Reality.

Love and Sex

I put my travelling status on the gay social networking site that I have joined recently. The next day, there’s a sudden pop on the message in my inbox. All of them come from my travel destination, either asking to meet up or befriend with me.

It’s obvious. They are not exactly looking for friends, but some no-strings attached actions.

I’m conservative. I think love should come before sex. Therefore, I told myself only to have sexual relationship with the one I love.

自虐后抉择

I’m writing this post in Chinese because I can express my feelings now better with it.
昨夜一夜未得好眠,只因为我的心很固执又盲目地在寻找我真正想要的。我甚至不知道自己正在寻找着它。很矛盾、很矛盾。
想来想去,人生为什么不可以简单一点?做同志要考虑到非同志会怎么想,对一个人有好感也要考虑对方怎么想,又要考虑会不会被骗,值不值得去追求……乱七八糟地想,我要的还不够简单吗?我只是想要有个人,在我觉得无助的时候教我一些人生经历,在我委屈的时候听我发牢骚,闯祸的时候陪我去面对,害怕的时候给我一些推动我的勇气,不够自律的时候给我一些纪律把我拉回来。
就这样翻翻覆覆,终于闹铃响了,是时候准备上班了。心里又一阵矛盾。突然有一点不想上班,可是又碍于手上有些工作非做不可,又开始胆怯、担心起来。
我应该多一点勇气去旷工,还是多一点纪律去上班?我很讨厌自己经常都被自己困在不高不低的位置上。
想来想去想不通,最后干脆就先洗个冷水澡,清醒清醒。我怕冷又容易感冒,所以早上都没有冲凉的习惯。但是恨自己婆婆妈妈的地步已经无可救药,所以干脆就对自己施以极刑。我一边发抖地冲着冷水,一边想。我好恨我自己,心里真的很不舒服,想要哭一场来发泄,泪腺却是干到不行,挤也挤不出一滴眼泪,根本就是欲哭无泪。说来也奇怪,平时看感人的电影,听朋友感人的故事,甚至电视剧或综艺节目的一个小桥段,就可以让我热泪夺眶,眼泪像自来水一样流不完。对自己的委屈,就算再怎么想哭,却是一滴眼泪都挤不出来。又是一个不高不低的局面,为什么不要么就让我再软弱一点把它哭出来,要么就坚强一点不让我觉得一点辛酸?
最后,我还是知道现实才是真的,工作才是眼前的,决定拖着自己去上班。
这个决定让我联想到了自己所追求的那种不切实际的梦幻,反映了我真正做的选择。回想起来,当初不正是想要一辈子都吞下这个秘密的,自己一个人过的吗?回到初衷又有什么好排斥反抗的呢?
觉得自己很蠢,为这种在别人眼里是无谓的小事的小事而折腾一个晚上。今天我下意识地把自己打扮得特别笔挺,应该是想要掩饰自己没睡好的倦容。希望可以赶快打起精神,回复以前的样子,过回原来的生活。

struggle

I really need to snap out of this… but I’m struggling.

I logged in with hope to see something that I wish to see again. I really shouldn’t have placed hope on this – I should know how unlikely it would come true.

Hey, please wake up. Don’t get drown in the false hopes. Your life, real life needs to go on.
