CANI
That’s the acronym for “Continuous and Neverending Improvement“, a concept plucked from an Anthony Robbins’ book. Well, CANI has been on my lips, and mind, since I re-embarked on a journey to achieve my 3 main goals for the year. Yup, my 2007 resolutions have now been narrowed to a more achievable target of 3. Will let everyone know if they are fulfilled come 31 Dec 2007, a date which seems to be fast approaching although 2007 just started not too long ago. Time sure flies when 8 hours are taken by sleep, another 10 plus at work, leaving 6 for meals, travelling and doing whatever I would like to, including fulfilling the 3 resolutions.
My days in the World of Warcraft just ended recently. It was a really sad moment when I logged off my game account leaving behind my main character – Thermoman – a level 51 fire mage. Gonna miss my fellow guild members from Zeepers of Zion. Consisting mostly of Aussies and New Zealanders, the guild members were a really nice bunch of people. A pity that I can never know who they really are in real life. If any KOZ members reads this post, do leave a comment. I will definitely reply to it.
Oh, another major development, or additional, to my household, is the spanking and ultra cool looking XBOX360!!! Actually it was the reason why I decided to cut my WoW account. Don’t have the time to quest in WoW and play console games while hoping to fulfil my resolutions. Life’s made up of tough choices and this is definitely one of them. Anyway, my wife and I are now having great fun playing Liverpool on FIFA 07, racing each other in Project Gotham Racing and slaying monsters in Ninety Nine Nights. Great games all of them.
Play aside, I have also been working on my professional side of life. Finally overcoming my inertia, I have started sending out resumes. I have decided after long last to take the plunge and do something I like instead of wasting my life and time away in a job which I have totally no passion in. Changing my job would also mean a change in lifestyle as my new employer, whoever they are, is unlikely to pay me the amount which I am currently drawing. With my belt already tightened, all I need now is a knight in shining armor to rescue me from this shit-hole of a job. While I dislike my job, I have decided to do all I can to be the best that I can be at work. Yup, I will crack the whip and get all the things done the way that they should be. I will leave one heck of a legacy behind. Even if I don’t succeed, I will make sure that I gave it the best shot.
Well, that’s basically a summary of what has happened in the past one month or so. Life’s great eh! 
Great to have u back marshal!! Life’s too fleeting for us to be able to achieve every single thing we want so while we have the luxury of choice, choose wisely and follow your heart. All the best
Thanks for the encouragement!
Hey friend, I finally have the time to read blogs again! Looks like you are really serious about finding a satisfactory job…I guess at a point of time, one can really get so comfortable (in life) to the extent that it somehow doesn’t feel that bad to just treat one’s job as a money making machine, without caring for any job fulfilment and satisfaction.
So its GOOD that you’re trying to move out of your comfort zone and even prepared to sacrifice $$$ for a more suitable job. Aja ja Fighting!
Actually I dun mind treating my job as a money making machine as long as my boss and peers do their jobs properly. Everything they do is about keeping up the pretense of ‘delivering’ what the management wants, and not doing a good proper job. It sucks knowing that my efforts in trying to do my job properly is superseded by the need to keep just crap which looks good on the surface and all rotten underneath it. Guess I have had enough of putting up the fight. I rather fight at a place when I am still interested in the job content. Hope I get an interview soon. Can’t wait to get out of this hell-hole of a place where all motivation and the drive to do the right things counts for nought and mediocrity is celebrated on a pedestal.
