It survived that single lone post below...

Well here I am, just past midnight and somehow suddenly got this annoying itch to scribble something here. Either just to prove to myself that I wouldn't abandon this blog as I have the rest, or plainly genuinely wanting to contribute something to this space. I don't really know, but here goes.

*Takes deep breath*

Received my offer letter of permanency at CSA CSC, after 6 months of working here as a contract staff. High turnover rate in the department and the trouble associated with hiring new network analysts and training them finally moved or rather pressured the management to convert the rest of us guys to permanent. A welcomed increment came with this conversion to permanency and thanks to that, its been difficult wiping this silly retarded-looking smirk off my face since then till now. Yes, I'm happy. Very. Okay maybe I'm exaggerating.

Compared to my previous job in which I was the Software Trainer (official designation), Support Analyst, Software Tester, Systems Admin, Network Admin, Client Account Manager, tukang sapu/mop lantai (okay I'm exaggerating).. well yeah I was exploited and made to do anything I was competent at. And they paid me peanuts. Living alone in PJ, paying for room rental, car, petrol, phone bill, streamyx bill, digi bill and whatsoever other bill I can't recall right now, my 6 months with that first job was difficult. At times I'm amazed I didn't resort to pulling and munching on the grass growing outside the house I lived in. Like seriously. Would've been so much cheaper to grow 2 hind legs and go "Moooo".

All that being said.. I have approximately 6 hours 30 minutes till shift ends at 7.00am. Well come morning, my 4 days off begins. And the usual question each time this period of the week arrives, "What do I do with myself over the next 4 days?". I guess it'll be me being the lonesome cowboy this week and I foresee a couple of nights at Fuel Up D'sara Uptown chuggin' beer..Mmmm

Desperately fighting the urge to close my eyes right now, which is probably what drove me to post something on the blog in the first place. Now, I'll have to look for something else to keep me occupied till morning. Minesweeper?!

Signing off, and hoping there'll be more to come,

Randy.
