... Garfield who never looks forward to Monday. It's me now. I wasn't before.
Though i never put any days as special day to look forward to or to avoid, I saw each day as new day that could always bring surprises and laughter. The guys always had their way to make the day bright. Especially since we got a new member few months ago. I felt happier. Not only because finally i had a female partner but also because we had that chemistry between each other. And starting the day we rearranged the office layout, I felt it completed all the comfort i had in the office.
Having a new boss from another dept didn't affect much to the team. The disappointment didn't crack me. Maybe because I had experienced worse situation there. Let alone i started to get busy heading the events as well as doing routine work. The place has become my home. Promotion...rotation...they didn't matter to me anymore.
As i got busy with all the loads and enjoyed the hustle and bustle with the whole gang, I started to think of my personal short-term and long-term goal. I was confirmed that i would go back to school soon and choose applied linguistics. Though i knew i would never like language, but being in that department was enough to give me motivation to change direction to linguistics instead of continuing to psychology. Never came to my mind i would leave the department anytime soon. I made up my mind, if i chose to stay in this institution then it would be in the department, no place else. I guess being with them was one of the reasons why i could still put up with the situation. I felt i was surrounded by brothers and sister.
But life is unpredictable...
And here i am now. In a new place called office. Bigger (even much bigger) responsibilities, a superior, subordinate, and no co-worker. I know i would make an early conclusion if i say this new place would not make me feel comfortable, but honestly that's exactly what i feel now. And Monday starts to be the day i dislike, coz i HAVE to go to the office.
Just like tonight. Thinking about tomorrow just makes me want to have longer weekend. Exactly like Garfield, isn't it?
