“There are so many interconnections,” said the mechanic while fixing my pipes. Haha. It’s true. The installation is a patchwork as new connections made each time I try renovating the house. I should just tear down the house and build from the scrap, ha? May be for the next house.


So, what am I doing home at 10.30 of Tuesday? The water pump stucks. Again. I called the mechanic  yesterday and had him look for it today. This water thing is essential, I can not wait for another day. So, I took the paid leave for a day. A colleague “jokingly” commented, “Are you taking leave to avoid the meeting?”


The meeting.
It’s a “dangerous” one, I admit. The whole team is going to talk about our coordinator who angrily left group chat. Old, but no wisdom. Something I see every day here. 
One provocative senior proposes to point new coordinator. This guy is dangerous, always trying to provoke other member to his agenda. He doesn’t want to take responsibility, only ride with other works. I made clear stand to reject his destructive proposal to other colleagues. I don’t want he make riots among us. Sometimes, I think I should blackmail him to leave us alone, because I know the fraud he did. Perhaps, I should. Later, when he becomes out of control. 

Anyway, I don’t like it when people say I avoid work.
Excuse you!
I can work anywhere, anytime. Even when I’m on the way. I’m millennial and already proofed to be tech savvy. It was the other colleagues (usually the seniors) who defy the deadline by using various excuses: I don’t bring laptop, I’m on vehicle, my son is sick. 

I also feel that people see singles as those without problems. We’re not allowed to take time off because we have no “excuse”. No sick kid, no taking report, no accompanying husband. So, every time I submit my paid leave, they’re always curious, “what for?”

I don’t want to be like these marriage people, thinking they are the most important one. They can brush work for their family, but I shouldn’t? (The fact that I can still get the work done is just given, ha?). I’m scare that I could turn to be like them. 

Well, on the other hand, I feel pity for them having so much things on their hands. It’s must be tiring. But, one thing I know, we’re all working. We must bear same responsibility. We both get paid, so do your part as I did my part. Dissatisfaction come from comparing the effort you’re giving is more than others.

Remember, we’re all been single, but not everyone had experience living alone. As the only member of my family, I should do everything by myself. There’s none else to handle. That’s why I should give my own time. 

“So find someone,” some say. 
I don’t want to. I just want to get my right. If you have rights to leave job, then I have, too.
