Swordie Bloggie

wow… i left my blog for a very long time… this only shows that i’m too busy with lots of stuff… mostly daily works. Today itself, I was bloody tired… I landed home around 9.30pm last night after 3 days in KL for some study tours…

I wanted to take leave today, but can’t afford it with the Anonymous going to strike the nation network… just a few hours from now… that’s around 3.30am (Thursday, Jun 16) local time. I just hope nothing much going to happen as far as what concerns me… else it’s gonna be lots of stuff to deal with tomorrow… hate it… coz i will not get extra pay for doing those extra stuffs… I work like volunteers… 😛

To those who don’t know what or who is Anonymous, they are a group of notorious hackers or hactivist who attacked their target with DDoS… Distributed Denial of Service… to cripple the network, the internet network. They attacked for a cause… and the reason they attacking Malaysia is becoz Malaysia government has been blocking file sharing sites… I feel like joining their cause… 😛

Anyway, probably it’s time to move somewhere… to a better rewarding place… I don’t know… while on the flight last night, the guy next to me, a professor, was asking about my work… and he kind of saying that I’m getting low pay and not getting opportunity to grow…  well he is right… but I don’t really hate my work… I like technical work… but I don’t really like management jobs, especially managing people… well… I just hope good things will come soon… else I’ll be working like volunteers for the rest of my working day… 😛

It seems that the department is hiring too much new staffs this time… every morning a bunch of new staffs are gathering outside the HR department since late last year… and sometimes they are quite noisy while waiting their turn to be called at the waiting area next to the lifts… which unfortunately my office, IT department, is sharing the same floor with the HR department.

These people are not coming for interview, but to report duty… I understand that there are more than 20 civil, electrical and mechanical engineering jobs to be filled this year. And not only engineering jobs are to be filled, but there are also about 30 jobs for assistant engineers and technicians. So far I’ve seen about 11 engineers name from the official list…

So what’s the problem with this sudden surge of staff other than the noise they are making?… well, now we have to cater for their IT needs… new PCs… new printers… new network connections… new email accounts… And it seems that we are depriving the existing staffs’ IT requests because of these extras… who are ‘hijacking’ all the IT stuffs… looks like this year is going to be a busy year…
