Another post about work... (again)

Ah betapa nikmatnya!
Sore ini, jarang-jarang, I have the room for myself.
Satu engineer sedang kursus di luar negeri, satu orang sedang kursus di luar kota. Satu engineer lain sudah berangkat ke Rio karena besok ada meeting, satu orang lagi sedang di area.
Dengerin mp3 kenceng-kenceng (pake headphone offcourse)… thinking and wondering how my life in this company gonna be like in a few months ahead.
Project… visa… transfer… kursus…
All the uncertainties…
Yang membuat orang sensitif bisa kambuh maagnya walaupun pola makan sudah dijaga sebaik mungkin…
Bersyukur karena dikelilingi orang2 yang baik hati di sini…
Kenapa ya, setiap kali mulai merasa tuned-in sama satu tempat, lalu dihadapkan dengan kemungkinan pindah. Menyebalkan.
Beberapa engineers di sini menunjukkan sama aku, bahwa di sini lebih baik dari Sao Mateus dari sisi personal and career development. “Technically much more challenging…” kata salah seorang dr mereka.
Lalu, di sini sudah punya bbrp temen cewe, dan di sini sehabis pulang kantor bisa makan makanan Jepang or Meksiko, les dansa atau boxing, pilates atau yoga… :D
Intinya adalah, di sini lebih ada kehidupan.
Aku suka bosku yang sekarang di sini. (Bosku yang sebelumnya sudah dipromosi). Sepertinya orangnya baik dan care, tapi bukan tipe yang too sweet, yg membuat kita bertanya2: is he being real to us??
Menyadari, entah ini partially karena karakteristik orang2 Amerika Latin atau emang kultur perusahaanku, bahwa kita (especially orang2 baru seperti aku ini), selalu diamati dan dievaluasi (dan dibahas) setiap gerak-geriknya. Do a good job, and everybody knows and congratulates you the next day. Do a mistake, and everybody starts giving you pressure and a hard time. News from Sao Mateus or Neuquen had and will arrive quickly to Macae. Fiuh.
Weird, mentorku yang sebelumnya (cewe) sat down with me one afternoon and start giving me advices on work and life. Things like: what do I want in life, what are my objectives, do I wanna get married, etc etc. I know she's being nice cause she said a male manager will not talk about things like this with me, and she thought it would be great that I start thinking about this from now. Nice. But weird really, cause I dont know her that well, and I'm not too sure if she's being sincere or not.
Anyway, I realize that I'm so much into my job... the only thing I talk about everytime I call home is work, I postponed replying messages because I felt I was too busy...
Hhh... okay... I'll try my best to maintain my work/life balance... however limited that may be... I guess the only way is to be faster and more efficient in my work....
