Tired

I'm tired of work. I've been coming to work slightly late recently and leaving on the dot as far as i can. The reason? I'm quite tired of being lied to, for want of a better word.

I've had to wait for my appointment letter, right up to the last week in the previous company when i thought this coy had changed its mind about employing me. After starting, it was about a week before i was given the appointment letter. Then there was the unpleasant -- to me at least -- news that i still have to go through probation -- ''no difference, right?'' -- and then the constant ''reassurances'' that the plan is to move me back to HQ. etc etc and so on and so forth.

Well, 3 months have come and gone. Checking on the salary credited in my 4th month -- this is technically my 5th month in this coy -- i told dear there was no increment. But i was told the other new manager was given one, though it wasn't as much as he expected. And Calvin told me today to do the increment for one of the supervisors. So how about me? The other manager asked me if i had asked Calvin about it. I suppose i should, huh? But that would make me so hard up. And frankly, right now i'm too disappointed in them to bother too much. I asked Calvin today and yes, i'm supposed to prompt the HR about the staff who need their confirmation letters. So am i supposed to prompt them about my own confirmation? And increment?

I give up. I'm sick and tired of working here, but i'm not exactly into looking for jobs either. Saw another post, but the closing ends in end of July. So i'll just wait to see if there are any news from the opening which closes today, and which S8 applied too, before i submit that application. Then once i'm given the green light, i'll throw in. Hope they won't look at the recent changes with too much negativity! If all else fails, i can always look for my previous unit head. Heard he was looking for me to join him -- wah, he's some dy director now! -- in the private firm he's in. If i were to join him, at least i'll get to keep current with maintenance. Instead of having to listen to the company spout empty promises.

Sometimes i feel like telling them, no need to talk so much. I'll only believe what i see.

Hope you are feeling alright. I feel sian of my job at times too. Like last week. But I'm also not sure what I want to do and whether a new job will be worse. At least here my bosses and colleagues are quite nice.

I've not been able to settle down after leaving the first org. Perhaps public sector is where i'm meant to be? Don't know... But i'm looking and hoping to find a post in the public sector. sigh.
