Just another day
I'm feeling very jaded at the moment... It could be due to the fact that it's Valentine's Day today, and I'll be alone at home watching the Grammy Awards on satellite.
It could possibly be due to the fact that the 3 closest friend I have in the ad industry is not too keen on the idea of me taking up another offer to a smaller agency.
It's bad enough that my significant other for the past 5 years suddenly decided to walk out of the relationship because he couldn't figure out what he wants in his life. To have that said to me after 5 freaking years... I just can't register it in my head. I was told that about 1 month ago, and frankly speaking, I think I'm still in the stage of denial... going through my daily life as if nothing as happened, drowning myself in work...
And talking about work... I've been hating work for the past couple of months. It's not the nature of the job that I hate, it's my immediate boss who is driving me nuts. I have lost complete respect for him a long time ago and I don't know how to continue working with a person that I do not respect. Til today, he has yet to congratulate me on my promotion (since last Oct) nor acknowledges it. Not that it's that great a deal... but by not having a boss who recognizes my ability and acknowleages my contribution to the team... I don't see how a healthy working relationship can be foster.
That is why I do not understand the reason why my friends in the industry are not happy for me when there is another opportunity for me in another agency. Yes, it's smaller but it has potential to grow. I see potential in that agency.
My life is a complete mess now. I feel like running away for a while and leave this forsaken place to seek peace.
To make matters worse... I've gained a few extra pounds :(
Is it any wonder why I'm feeling so jaded?
