#24: Lesson Learned

 Day 24 of 30 days writing challenge

Lesson Learned

As my challenge skipped a day (yesterday was frantic), I'm trying to continue on.





There was a huge protest goin' against the new bill. There's also a deadline of the new job--but old job actually--that was quite depressing. I went to the office knowing that it's going to be a chaos right in front of my office in the heart of our capital. Lucky I got home prior to the clash.

What should I've learnt?

During these past few weeks the pressure from work is tremendous. They said that they have less position than people applying for it, and we have to compete in order to stay in our current position.

Well, I'm on what we Indonesian said "Bagaikan telur di ujung tanduk," or in English, walking on thin ice. I was assigned as a group coordinator, and it really gets in my nerves. People in my group are like s××× and ungrateful brats. They're like a bunch of obnoxious people with no sense of logic, and no sense of humanity whatsoever. True that humans are at their worst on pressure, and these people are not really nice people to begin with.

Not that I'm talking sh×t 'bout them, no. But this is actually not the first time I've to deal with their antics. I know, I'm not a perfect person anyway, but least people can do is be a decent human being and appreciate people.

I'm having a hard time trusting people, and these people actually not helping in mending my trust to humans.

Actually talking about taking a year or two off from work because I'm so tired off all these nonsense. My blood pressure rose up high this week, I got severe headache everyday. It's like I'm having too much. I even thinking I need to get my old medicine back. I'm so so tired. So tired until I can't even do my job well. I still got two pending urgent assignments, more pending assignments with a nagging untrustworthy partner telling me it's okay to go to remote places during pandemic for work, one wrecked coordinating duty (this crappy me doubted everyfuckinday by those scums), recaps for last year, recaps for this year, and so many bills to pay. My mind is full of these crap I can't even rest. 

I'm so tired.

What  I learned from this? 
Will all these pain and troubles be paid-off?

Ikhtiar

Ingin sekedar berbagi cerita tentang perjalanan hidup sampai mendapatkan yang dinanti-nanti.  Alhamdulillah dua tahun slowdown karena pandemi membawa berkah. Setahun setelah menikah, kami dianugerahi seorang putri yang sangat kami sayangi. Perjalanan  mendapatkannya bisa dibilang tidak mudah. Akumulasi semua pengalaman sebelumnya, banyak rintangan yang dihadapi. Namun syukurlah Allah memberikan amanah kepada kami sekeluarga.  Berkah Habatussaudah Ternyata hadits Rasulullah tentang keutamaan Habatussaudah atau jinten hitam sebagai obat segala penyakit* benar adanya. Jinten hitam ini adalah faktor pembeda utama, selain suami yang sangat sabar dan waktu di rumah yang lebih panjang karena work from home (wfh) . Setelah menikah dengan suami yang penyabar ini, saya disarankan oleh adik saya untuk berikhtiar dengan cara mengkonsumsi 7 (tujuh) butir Habatussaudah/jinten hitam yang sudah disangrai dan madu setiap hari. Cukup tujuh butir, tidak perlu banyak-banyak karena Habatuss...

Mama Drama (yang tercinta)

Selain MLM dan rokok, ada satu hal lagi yang saya bener-bener ga tahan: Mama Drama.  ------- (Warning: postingan ini bikin emak-emak hardchore kejang-kejang. Use it wisely. 😂  Move along at your own risk. ) ------- Semua ibu-ibu baru ini (seumuran sama saya) kelakuannya sangat tipikal di media sosial macam facebook dan path. Terlalu banyak membagi informasi mengenai anak-anaknya dan sangat sangat sangat emosional jika diingatkan ( mama bear will bite you to death! ). Saya sampai pada satu titik dimana saya sangat yakin bahwa mungkin dulu saya tidak benar-benar berteman dengan mereka, karena jelas sekali saya di luar lingkaran mereka (dari segi bahasa, kehidupan, dan persepsi) (Semua ilustrasi saya hapus karena yang punya drama emosi..) Panggilan tipikal: si anu mamanya anu Yang bikin saya paling sadar kalo saya bukan temannya lagi itu adalah saat saya lihat statusnya dan komen-komen di statusnya, semua orang adalah mama/papa/ayah/bunda/kakek/nenek dari nama si...

The Revelation of the Infamous Hags

Well, well, well. What d'you know? At first you were their friends, but right there at the moment they don't need you anymore or despise you with hatred and envy you with all their might--you just turn into the object of their cruelty! Disguise in their keen elegance, never did they actually revealed their truer form infront of promising 'customers'. They even can agitate people into hating each other--and some people really take it personally and even put grudge to people they don't even know! Sick isn't it? Well, they DO dressed nice, covering all that evil devilish thoughts behind their artificial skins. But once you see them, they're nothing but ol' malicious hags, lurking around for prey. Their smiles aren't genuine. Their acts always for the sake of themselves and themselves only--whether to bossing around, getting ETERNAL youth (?), or just bullying others that potentially harmful for their mighty being. I wonder why some people still can'...
