2 actually.
1 was getting on a lorry (as a passanger), and having trouble getting off the lorry. The 2 pple looking on at me, had grins plastered on their faces. They must've been so amused at me, for not being able to even get off a lorry gracefully. I'd initially thot of jumping out onto the ground, but after weighing my odds of toppling over, I used the stepper and hung on to the handle for balance. And I made it!
Not adventurous enough?
What happened just an hour ago was even more adventurous...but too bad I can't really blog about it due to confidentiality issues. Boring seh, coz I'd really love to share it here.
Anyway during the adventure (which took place via the phone, with me totally in the comfort of my own seluar nusantara & bedroom), I muttered something to AH, something alone these lines, " Times like this make me want to quit my job. Can I quit tonight?!"
AH's response was something a person in distress would never have expected for an answer. He said something like, " Isn't this exciting? You should treat this like an adventure" Or at least that was what I gathered.
AN ADVENTURE?! Close...coz my hands became really cold and my heart beat so fast when I found out about that
adventurous incident.
Later when I cooled down, I figured that AH was right to a large extent .... if I could take this job like it was an adventure, my job would be fun, exciting and challenging. And not a drag, with me getting worked up with anything out-of-the-norm that pops out (which occurs very often).
Everyday I try some new strategy to keep my head afloat at work.
I've tried the "My boss is nice as a friend but terrible as a boss" strategy at work to feel better about her character.
I've tried the "Being ikhlas at work" strategy because "work is an ibadah".
I've tried drilling the "Even the smallest thing you do may make a difference to someone" belief into my head too.
I've also tried viewing my work as exciting.
But to take it a step further and regard it as an adventure...that I haven't tried.
So, now excuse me while I get my sleep, coz I need all the energy I should have for my adventures...coming my way the moment I step into that adventurous place.
Night night :)
