My end of year resolution

This place used to be an interesting place to be.

*flash back*
I took a morning bus, travel for 1.5 hour every morning and even more longer during the night on the way back home. I enjoyed every moment of the time to go to the office. When I got there, I started to check the cctv system, the recorded tape, the backup data, the other night checklist and prepare report for my supervisor. I learned new things about as/400, about server, storage, media. On the other day I learned about what asset is, what do we do about it. The insurance, the price, the value, financial report and business itself. I learned a lot here. The friendship bonding also nice. We are like a family here.

After 2 years, my salary up doubled. I smiled. I love to work to achieve more recognation and get more appreciation. Working more hours and doing extra miles were really something. You got everything in return. One step at a time I reached middle management position. Upper management, board of director, and owners started to know me personally. Working, image, personality, appreciation, all comes in one package.

*2 years later*
I see the organization is like amummy. It lives but doesn't move. Everything looks freezing. Strange. I know there is something wrong. But what can I do? I started to approach closest friends. Encourage them to find back their spirit. Not significant result I see. Bu some found back their lost energy.

*todays*
I am not sure whether the nation in election spirit so it affects the company culture or what. All I see is one try to hit another. It seems scary. Very. We lost our existing customers (notice the 's'), we don't even get any new customer this year. We still need more than 40% to fill up our target. Where will we go from here?

I am filling up my gun, to battle this life, get away from this stupid crowd. I am not goig to shot any of them. I fiil up my gun to protect myself. I am heading to another community. The better one. I aware, fully aware that no place in this world problem free, but at least I have to go to help myself survive. *fingers crossed*I get the job. With better environment and better money :-) I'll be a banker in just about a month.
