Office Politics


I am still unsettle at the new work place. Still no sign of my email address even though I had made the request on my first day  at the office. Yes I am still using someone else's desk and there is no telephone either.I observe there is too many restriction here, for instant every department have to keep their own paper to use for printing and photocoping. Even the photostating need an access code before one could use. How do they expect me to do my job if they can't even get the essential  needs of the employee?? The only good thing is Lunch is provided. by the company with exception of saturdays.
I thought I have seen  the last of the office politics when I retired from my previous job. Apparently there is no different here. The HR seems to be the most unpopular person as in most organisation. I wonder why. Everyday I could hear staff talking negatively about the HR , who happen to be a lady. The main complaint is that she is too bossy  and does not appreciate what the staff does. No wonder  everybody is leaving.  Anyway I am only here for  three months . I hope I can survive through out my contract.

A NEW JOURNEY BEGINS.

After a long rest of 3 months, since I retired in oct 2009, I will return to the work force once more tomorrow. It will be a totally new environment and experience for me.
I am thankful and touched by my son Joel, and my god daugther snow, who showed concern for me and even request me to be careful as I start out to work in this new company.
The job will not be that difficult, just checking goods , as they are being delivered into the company's warehouse. However the working condition will be different. I need to go into the cold room, and I am not able to withstand cold. I was told the temperature will be around minus 28degree C .can I do it? only time will tell.
Even though I am excited about working again, but there is also a bit of sadness, as I will have to sacrifice a lot of my activities, like jogging,gym, hiking etc. I will be involved in shifts work and probably have to work though weekends and even public holidays. Above all I will be seeing lesser of my family and loved ones.
Anyway that is something I have to give up in order to get back to work and will put it aside for the time being. Right now I need to prepare myself for the new environment.

WHAT A BORING DAY THAT WAS




Two days of raya holiday, with nothing much to do , except checking my mail and facebook. read some blogs and comments. The weather isnt helping at all. Too hot to go out. Is this going to be a foretell of things to come? I dont want to end my life like this. I got to get a job fast. I cant carry on this way. I will go insane.
My wife was quite concern and offer to drive me around some factories nearby to check out if there are any job opening. Tomorrow will resume duty for the next 7 days, before I call it quit in the workforce. Then it's job hunting again. Wish me the best. I need to look to Him.
I think this song by whitney houston best describe how I feel right now

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

winter’s storm has come and darkened my sun
After all that we’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength is gone
In you I can move on

I look to you
I look to you

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

what will life be without a job??

Have been informed moments ago that my service with the company will not be extended. the management have gone back on their word. they have indicated earlier I was given a one year contract. now they says otherwise. the excuse? recession it seems. business did not pick up. etc.
Well just as well I guess. now how am I gonna break this news to the mrs? will I have enough faith to trust God? Can I cope with this?
I need God's strenght , Grace more than ever.
