3 months have passed since the last post.
The situation for me hasn't improved. It really went full force towards the other end.
Not just for me too. The world is facing a global pandemic and it has made its way into disrupting even our relatively small country. I'm guessing that when it happened last year in the last quarter, no one would have imagined that the scale of the pandemic would hit and match the situation about 16 years ago when SARS was a thing.
...but let's talk about the disruption a bit later.

The year started very slow and boring for me. Since i did not submit anymore applications since last year's incident, i guess that is too be expected...though as a result of that it was rather unpleasant to just swim through the months without much of sidetracking.
A lot of festivities were scaled down in view of the pandemic that was happening across the world. Even the annual lunches for the company were postponed indefinitely to reduce the amount of social gatherings, although at this point, i'd guess that they are just straight out cancelled. For some reason though, head honchos continued with theirs. Derive your own meaning out of this...my derivative was not positive.
The whole of February was just preparing for the so-called inevitable shift to working from home. Personally, i look forward to that since it means i get to slack around at house.
Though, in working towards this initiative, i got to see some really ugly faces and truths about how some people are carrying themselves. A lot of higher-ups are making demands out of their subordinates without giving much though on the time and effort required to make it happen.
They only know how to say "Make it happen".

Personally my work remains the same except that a few other items were thrown onto my dish without prior discussion so i'm using my slowest to respond...while the others are using their fastest to get me involved. Unfortunately but surprisingly, my own mentor seemed to have joined that wagon. Pity. Real pity.
I also went and attended a course that has the exact same contents as the one i attended about 2 years back. Despite sounding off that i had, no one wanted to for fear of additional workload. So, i spent a week listening to what i already know while being bored.

I thought of writing more but...maybe i will save some for later or tomorrow. I should have plenty of time now from the initiative.
