JOBS SMOB!!

It's freezing cold here in the office!! I just recovered from my cough but looks like the flu bug has now caught on. UUrrghh!!! It sure doesn't help that I'm sooo full from the heavy lunch THE DON & I had at Sabar Menanti II just now. My eyelids feel like there's a blob of lead on them and they are slowly, slowly but surely coming down. HELP!!!
You know how some kids scream and plead their way out of going to school in the mornings?? It's like that for me sometimes. (more like almost every day!!) I just can't make myself get out of bed. I used to blame it on my late nights chatting with Ms 'Meenachi' but I have since discovered that it's still the same even if I sleep early the night before. Every morning as our car approaches my office building porch, I'll turn to THE DON and ask "Do I HAVE to go to work today?"

To which he will reply "No darling, you don't have to. Follow me to my 9am appointment, we'll go for breakfast then I'll send you home" Hah! He has obviously been trained well. Always says the prefect things!! Perfect but just not possible!!

Not that I have much to complain about my job. The working environment is relaxed and I get along famously with my collegues. Work is light, (How else do u think I manage to write my blogs in the office !!) pay is good. Very good, actually (anybody wants my job?") and the boss is none other than my own brother. (So coming in at 9.40am sometimes is a privilege I get!!) But I feel that my job is not mentally challenging at all. Sometimes I get by the day without using any brain cells at all. No doubt the job has its good points. I meet all kinds of people and I learn a lot about the law. And I learnt a lot on computers too but I need something more mentally stimulating!!! Perhaps then I wouldn't feel this way about going to work in the mornings.

The Don often ask me what I really want to do. Many times I can't really answer him but since the last few weeks, I have been thinking about it real hard and I guess I know now. It's still a few more steps to make it possible for me to clinch that dream job but he has agreed to gimme his full support.(both emotionally n financially!!) But more importantly, I don't wanna have to work for money. I want to have the freedom to choose my work based on my interests and not whether it pays well. Ok ok .. wishful thinking I know. But if business goes on as well for THE DON as it has for the last few years, (or even better, insyallah!) it might just be a dream come true!!
