COLD

I had surrendered to the virus again. I got a cold, quite serious this time, I feel so drowsy yesterday, then I took a sick leave and slept, but all the dream was about working and job. I even dreamt at very early morning that I was drafting an email to my boss to ask for a day sick leave. When I woke up, I had to take some time to figure out whether it was true or just a dream...

Today my productivity was out of expectation; I could manage to finish several tasks. But when 7:00pm, I felt very dizzy and hungry, and then I decided to leave.

I found my emotion tied up by the job too much, and I do not know how to relieve the pressure, it makes me suffer a lot. Sometimes, I confuse and become very neurotic, for example, the office politics could suffocates me; I know I think too much and something I am not in the position to control, I try to learn to be a simple girl.

Remember a colleague in my first job told me a norm in workplace: you work to make fun and make money. If you boss could pay you satisfactory level of income, it is ok to endure the unavailability of fun, but one day, if you stay in your job which make no fun and no money(or extremely under what you deserve), then quit (but make sure you have confidence and substance to get another job)

Luckily, so far I could get both fun and money (but surely more is much much better) in my current job.

Manki, should take more rest~
We are a same kind of person that easy to feel big pressure on job. I always had the same experience of dreaming at the early morning that how to ask for a sick leave. I will thinking how could I say once my boss recieve the call.After I spoken out my word, I will recognize I was dreaming as well. And, I will repeat the pattern until I really wake up. Even I got sick, I still feel duilty to ask for a day off.

Poor thinking...we should change it in this year~
