The World Around Me

Internet connection suck balls today once again. haha nothing new and as I was checking if I had Moby following me on gbuzz, I saw an email from my lawyer in sydney. They wanted my number and they wanted to contact me. I rushed replied and now I'm not quite sure if I had actually put in the area code.

I came back and I was talking to my 'national' colleagues, those genius that I worked with, who are very skilful but just not expressive because of the whole Burmese hierarchical work theory. I was telling them about the intense meeting, which I do not want to blog about and I was telling them about getting an email from my lawyer. There was a bit of a silence and they started expressing how I would be missed and then all of us started talking about how our contracts would be extended.

The fact is we make a good team and it's either you give all of us the job or NOT. The only thing that is bugging is the budget from the donors. I was talking with Boss about how donors get money. I was surprised to notice how ignorant I had been and how politics is ALWAYS involved and the whole 'give and take' plays a major role ANYWHERE.

I lost so many friends in the past because of talks of religion and politics. I was judged because of politics. I was misled because of it. All of these in the past had haunted me to be so ignorant about the world around me. Boss started telling me a couple of things, to which I just listened with my mouth open. Boss was pretty sad that all of us at work are dying to know if our contracts would be extended or not. I told her if there was a time where they have to make a decision who to put on the team or not, I told her to NOT prioritize me. My colleagues have family and they have a settlement they are trying to make. I am still yet on the move and I don't even know if I'm gonna be around for long. It would be sad to see anyone of my colleagues losing their jobs because I got into his/her place.

Life is sad at times but we soldier on and I guess it's about time I read Newsweek or Time... I guess I have to learn a bit about the world around me.....

P.S. I pray that my colleagues would get their job extension. It kills to see them worried about their next job when they're geniuses who I have soldiered with hand in hand. Writing this blog makes me teary. It feels good to be loved and appreciated by good people around me, who deserve to be given some credits for their abilities.
