Block Leave

I prefer to take block leave because I can't get work out of my mind within a day!!

Mentally Tortured

Writing is a good way of handling (reducing) distress.

When mentally tortured or upset, write down your thoughts and let it go.

Spare a Thought

We are not alone in our struggles, so please spare a thought for others too!!

There is no need to trouble (burden) others with our problems unless without a choice.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. (1 Peter 5:7 NLT)

Firing Squad

In the midst of a heated discussion, I was called into the firing squad, and I died.

Even God would have given me more time to prepare before entering the battlefield, and these who are in the video meeting are not gods‼

Keeping Boss Informed

Rather than have my boss constantly checking on me when working from home, perhaps the best way to keep him or her informed is to bcc every correspondence!!

Short Sleep

I get about five hours sleep every day because of the many morning routine activities [4am - 9am] I need to do before starting work, such as physio exercises, bath, devo, breakfast and more.

Problem with WFH

Besides being short on resources, without a large screen monitor to work with, unavailability of certain applications on my laptop, no air-conditioning and the increase in electricity bill, one other problem working from home (WFH) is managing perception.

Family members and spouse tend to think of the one WFH as having more time to help with house chores and grocery buying. Helping is of course a joy—at least at the beginning—but as the days turn to months WFH, the added duties gradually become expectation.

Take me, for example. I regularly receive a list of items to purchase at the supermarket, help wash the dishes, and clear the waste garbage. This is in addition to other duties off WFH, such as the daily scrubbing of the restroom and cleaning the air con (for off office hours use and sleeping only) from time to time.

It's no big deal to do all that, of course, if I am really freer than when working in the office. The truth is I am actually working more hours than ever before the COVID-19 pandemic, with many hours spent on ZOOM meetings, brainstorming, working online and offline on my laptop.

That's life on the fast lane, but not many in the family can understand this. If you are reading this and have experiences to share of your challenges WFH, feel free to leave your comments here. Would really like to hear from you!

Does Personality Type Change Over Time?

I used to be an ENFJ.

Now, I am an ISTJ (Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging). 

The Inspector

• Physically and mentally organized
• Strong interest in facts with a high level of knowledge
• Excellent planning skills
• Calm and clear-headed during tense situations
• Highly intellectual
• Serious and committed in relationships
• Believe in traditions and try your best to follow them
• Loved by other people because you are righteous and just
• Well-respected in the community

This describes me almost to a tee!

What's Your Personality Type?

Saving Gaia vs Bagging Your Refuse

Yes, we want to save the environment.

But, NO, we don't want to be paying for garbage bags.
