I Don't Often Rant; but When I Do, I Prefer to Rant on VJ

missing home so so bad

found out that even though i get a decent number of vacation days, it's really hard to get time off approved by management. so many people just get their requests denied because of "manpower issues". i was also basically told that since i have no equivalent, i.e. no one else employed by the company does what i do, no one can cover me while i'm gone, so it is unlikely that long periods of absences will be granted, even if unpaid.

and i don't even know why i am ranting because it makes perfect sense to me - which company would want to hire someone who is out a few weeks a year at a time with no one to cover their duties? i don't want to jeopardize my job here but i don't want to give up time with my family back home either.

wish my husband would be more proactive about looking for jobs in singapore. he keeps saying yes he will, but never does.

Awww, sorry to hear that

But does it mean that you can't take even one week of vacation?

Over here, we have 26 days of vacation. You can take two weeks straight and enjoy your vacation. Sometimes you can even have 3 weeks of vacation (taking 15 days of the whole sum, since Saturdays and Sundays don't count).

How it is in Singapore?

Total insanity.

I was sitting on a train, when an old Japanese guy starts hovering around me. I ignored him. He then asks if it is ok to turn around the seats infront of me ( meaning they would be facing me). I said Ok (f??king freak!).

The cleaner on the train(another psycho) notices the interchange and suggests to the old dude that he sits elsewhere in the almost vacant carriage.

He refuses.

The cleaner then suggests I turn my seat around so that I wouldn't be facing him as he might feel uncomfortable! She suggests I might get travel sickness by sitting in the opposite direction to the way the train is going!

I gave in, and turned my seat around so as to not be facing the freak.

At the same time, a young Japanese couple cracked up laughing (as did I)!

Oh. And another thing.

I phoned my ex fiancé to ask whether he had faxed the letter of withdrawal.

Even though I was speaking to him on his home number, he claimed he was at a friend's house!!

He claimed to have sent a letter by mail. When I said I had had not had any notification from the embassy, and wouldn't it be a good idea to send a fax, as I have been suggesting for the past month, he asked if I was accusing him of not sending a letter and hung up.

Where are the normal people???

Takes 9-11 for the guy to get some decent sleep. Are you subconsciously thinking months ahead something is going to happen again on that day?
