If You Always Do What You've Always Done, You'll Always Get What You've Always Got

[This was a post back in October. It was in Drafts. For three months. I thought I hit the publish post button]

I've heard that line before and I heard this a million times in my training and in the office..

"..but I'm used to that when I was in school. Ganun din background ng OJT ko and that's even my first work.."

Then she inserted that line so I cracked my head trying to connect everything.

Well, I forgot to tell her that 'I quite enjoyed it, too.' Quite. Because I am so hard to myself when it comes to satisfying/reaching the topmost of my hierarchy of enjoyment.

Breaking News. Literally.

1. Google Ads walked away on me. It is one of the reasons why I even started blogging. The dough.

Middle of August, it sent me a message that disrupted the normal cycle of my life - ..found something malicious going on in.. - I laughed at the word 'malicious.' Well, Google Ads Admin, happy now?

2. My work/life schedule is too tight. When it comes to work-life balance, I'm the last person you want to talk to. Before, I thought I could organize things smoothly but man I'm completely wrong.

For the past few months..

Monday to Friday/Saturday Morning: I go to work. When I arrive home, I just hit the sack w/ or w/o eating. I wake up 3 hours before work and the cycle repeats.

I cannot open social websites unrelated to work in the office. Which makes 'Google' the only legit site. One colleague from the other department even shared that he was just haplessly reading local news blogs and minutes after, he found his manager standing behind his back. The IT Department can track everything. EVERYTHING.

Weekends are mostly spent with my cousins. I go to their place to swim or eat fast food. Sunday night - I'm on my bed preparing for sleep. Yes, the cycle always never fail to repeat.

This October, I'll be changing my weekday schedule as my cousins went back to Indonesia because their school fee will be handled by their father's company. Things are happening so fast. Last June, I was ending a quickie career and welcoming my cousins. Now, they're back to their original house and I'm close to getting to 3 months with my HR work.

Ergo, there is nothing interesting happening in my life. If tuning to FM radio on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday morning just to get sleep is interesting then yeah, very enjoying.
