Office = home?
Lately, I've been spending two third of my time in the office and only one third at home for sleeping. Everything has a reason, and I have 2 reason for this.
Reason #1
There are still many things to wrap up before the end of my loan period. Need to get those task done before this Friday. I was loaned to another team for 8weeks and this Friday will be the last day. Team leader is thinking about extending the loan period, but my immediate boss do not want the extension. They have not talk face to face yet, I do not know what the results might be; extend or no extend?
Reason #2
Work aside, we now have a 'Club House' in the office. Even with the bad economy outside, we still have many tight schedule to meet. Due to this, the management decided to create a club house for employee to de-stress.
In this club house, we have a Wii game with a 42" LCD TV. There are 4 controllers and Tennis is the most popular game out of the 5 Wii sports game. Personally, I like Golf the best because the rest of the game is just too action-pack. Besides this, there's also a Foosball table. Some of the guys are really good at the game, but some looks like they're BBQ'ing chicken wings. I am surprise to learn that the Foosball table is more expensive than Wii. We also have UNO and Jenga for a 'sitting' game.
For those not into games, there's a variety of magazines and daily newspapers in English, Chinese and Malay. We have 2 long colorful sofas too.
I'd usually go to the club house around 5.30pm to relax a bit, maybe play a game or 2 if Wii is available. Half and hour break later, it's back to work until about 9.30pm when that's about time I start to lose focus. Sometimes earlier, maybe around 8. After that, I'll make my last visit to the club house for another half and hour or more for newspaper before going for dinner.
For the past 2 weeks, I've been staying back in the office until late at night. I only reach home around 10~10.30pm, in time for 11pm drama on TV (half and hour to clean-up before the movie starts)
Before the form of club house, I'd be home by 8.30pm. Now that I spend some extra relaxation time there, my working hours also extended. I wonder if there will be one day when the management decided to charge people who stay late for the extra electricity and coffee consumption, and the toilet paper and hand towel they used :P
This new routine explains the lack of blog updates.
