fall at your feet

Have been working with some of my favourite colleagues this week.
And i gotta admit it's been making me reconsider quitting.
Sigh. Damn if i do, damned if i don't.

We've been doing the sick morning shift where it starts at 6am.
And cos we end by 3-4pm, we'll head for coffee almost everyday.
At IKEA cafe or holland v.
I cannot deny i really like this.
This the first job where i have colleagues that can -honestly speaking - be my frens.
Outside of work, i really do treat them like frens.
Besides, most of us have similar backgrounds... mass comm, media, same age grp etc.
And they are not the bitchy, glam types at Mediacorp or wherever....
They are mostly guys, and they are the typical Singaporean kind.
Y'know, kopitiams, kopi-o, teh-si sit down talk cock kind.

These are also the people who know i'm not as aggressive or competitive or bitchy in the office as some others. So they do look out for me in some way, and make sure i'm not being taken advantage of at work. One of them in our 'gang' is an editor -- altho we hardly relate to him as one -- and he even defends me sometimes during meetings. I cannot say i am not touched.

I know its easy to think everyth is rosy and pretty n nice when i'm not on the night shifts.
But when hell strikes, I always feel like throwing in the towel.
Oh well....lets see how long i can take it.

Everyone's looking forward to the April bonus, pithy as it is.
So perhaps i'll join the crowd.
Besides, its not like i have any remotely attractive job offer waiting in the wings.
