Sick Leave

My 1st sick leave experience is very pleasant! Hehehe..

On Tuesday, I called GM and told him that I will be late. So, I got to work at 10 a.m. Struggling through the work day and went to see a very..weird and not very persuasive doctor, got some antibiotic and went back to work.

On Wednesday, I called GM again after I woke up and told him that I will be late. Ended up, after snoozing for the 10th time, I decided that I am going to sleep till whenever I want. It was so much fun! I woke up at 12pm, started wandering around the house and decided that I am not going back to work..so, I started making myself lunch and dinner and pigged out in front of the TV. It was very nice..and relaxing. Sigh..home cook meal is soooo gooood...

Oh well, I finished using my paid sick leave. Hahaha..Now I have to use my regular vacation day.

Have been sick twice in a month. Kinda scary..

我真的好想放棄了。兜兜轉轉,似乎都好像在原地踏步。同樣的問題,一而再,再而三地浮現,沒法解決,阻擋著我想往前行的步伐。

禱告,心情平靜了些,但想起那些未知數,又開始煩燥了。

為何明明到手了的工,卻因為身份這回事,又即將失去了呢?

很厭倦了每天被人欺壓,被人污辱,但卻只能忍。有時在想,這樣子活著,有意義嗎?

Behind every successful man, there is a woman.

The auditor gave this comment to my GM and me (refer to our working relationship) at the end of the inspection. This phrase kinda stuck in my mind.

Can I be the successful woman instead of the woman behind the man? Is this a compliment or is this...

Is there some sort of gender discrimination in this statement? Can it be the other way round?

Test Drive

When you go to test drive a car, if the car salesman is with you, try asking him/her this question when you are in the middle of the freeway:

"Have anyone ever pulled out a gun and asked you to give them your cell phone and get off the car when they are test-driving a car?"

Try that. It is fun especially you have a friend sitting in the backseat behind the salesman.

原來還有很多事情都不是我想像和以為的那樣子。原來我低估了自己。原來畢業了也未必代表未來的路纖會更清晰。

原來我很討厭我老板!!

I MADE IT!!!!!!

It is unbelievable but I DID IT!!!!! It was even better than last year!! I got a 915!! For the private label audit, I got a 93%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was like a dream! I was in a foggy stage until I reached home and jumped into the shower. I was literally jumping and laughing in the shower!

I know most of you don't understand why this is so important and why I am so stressed about it since most of you are not in food business nor QC. Let's just say that if we don't get a better score this year, we might lose about 85% of our cookie business and some other private label businesses and that means, we might have to let go some employee. This is like the ultimate standard for all food manufacturing company.

I learned so much out of this audit. I learned to lead people, assign responsibilities, distribute tasks, think on the spot, be firm on my decision, say the right thing to push things my way and have faith in people!

I can't even describe how I feel right now. I know..I am so happy that I just want to cry...

When I was done with the inspection and was on the phone with a supplier, I stood there and looked around my office, and realized that, I don't want to be here anymore.

The funny part is, the auditor secretly recruit me to work for them. HA.HA.HA.
