Resolutions of Life

I know it is the last day of August so i kind of had some expectations to talk about career-related stuff but from my last post till today, i've jumped into the rabbit hole known as V-tubers. The hole was wide and deep enough that i have almost lost any kind of interest in anime...though now that i think about it, it could be just the then-current series i was watching to be too "out of my taste". More importantly, i am amazed at how much entertainment i am deriving from their content. It brings me back to the beginning of when i started watching other genres of anime. I can understand why people watch them with so much dedication now. So that's that for now. I expect that the next time i update this place...my hair is shortened.

Pay's here. Along with the performance bonus that was delayed plus the small increment i got from the promotion. I noticed that i didn't get any normal increment, just the ones from the promotion. I guess i reached the scale where i am at the next grade...which meant that the promotion and increment is just formality. Still, even with the increments, somehow i found myself having the lowest payout out of the 3 years i got. I don't really care about whether it is low or not but the notion that it has been dropping is an indicator that the economy isn't doing well. No surprises there, COVID's wrecking countries. This is possibly the highest amount of money i can expect to have for a while. From now on, it is going to be mainly financial management until next year, when i tender in 2 week's time. I don't expect to have work for the rest of the year and will be using that time to prepare for JET application instead. I will also take the time to do some other thi...

 Today is probably the turning point that i was looking forward to. However, not everything went accordingly to how i wished it. For one, i did not expect myself to break down and just cry uncontrollably in front of my manager. The other, i also did not expect my manager to be crying in front of me too. However, with the day passed, the intentions were revealed. All that is left now is the countdown to the end of the current phase. Nothing can stop this now.

When i was informed of my promotion last week, all i thought of was "How untimely." There's no stopping what's about to come anymore. I am already so disconnected from my current career that i am just not caring about anything about work anymore. Bare minimum it is until my last day...but i guess i should put in some effort since the letter is still with me. --- National Day was yesterday. People got together virtually and celebrated. It was a rather normal day for me. Except that i went to the mall to buy some sushi because i was feeling like it. I haven't been to the mall for the longest time. Coronavirus aside, i usually go there for video games. Since recently i've been really out of it, i haven't been playing games much aside from some short burst types to be played on my PC. Since i planned to leave my job, i also think it through more thoroughly in my head before i spend on anything. Haven't bought any new games for my Switch. Didn't really ...
