Job, Studies and other stuff

Work wise things are a bit unsettled in our office (or rather home office). There is a major restructuring happening at the headoffice in Geneva and no one really knows how the UK department is going to be affected. Each and every action of ours is under scrutiny and it seems like the HQ wants to exercise more control on our day-to-day activities. Apart from the pressure on targets, they even seem to dictate terms on how much of time I should spend at my desk. Being a home office based staff, I decide on whether I need to go to the main office or not. Now it seems the HQ wants me to go to the main office once a week. Everything is a bit too vague at the moment and we shall soon come to know of our situation.

While work seems to be unsettled, I found out that I have been getting a higher pay check from March onwards. Not that I am complaining about it, but if there is ever an audit and the company finds out their mistake, I will surely be asked to reimburse the amount. And I really do not want to find myself in a fix then for not having informed the relevant people soon enough. Yesterday I managed to talk about it to my boss and she said to just brush it aside. OK, so I have done my good deed, now to hell with everyone else.

Yet again, I have received a mail from Imperial College asking me to register for the distance MBA modules for the coming year. Its been three years since I joined the course and shame on me that I have not managed to complete a single module till now. But this year, somehow, I am quite optimistic about completing four of the required nine modules to pass the course. The rest I am planning to do next year. Last year, believe me, I did study very hard for the exams, but only just a month before it was due. And I found the modules quite easy to learn. Now don't ask me why and my reasoning may sound quite feeble - but I did not sit for the exams as I thought it would be a better idea to ace the modules by preparing for it a whole year. I have always had a distinction in all my exams and don't want to do a course without being fully prepared for it.

House work is still going on. Our builder is really taking it easy. Now he even sleeps in our home as there is this excuse of starting work really early and working late into the night. Now that I think of it, its been nearly a month since this whole work on the house has started and all this while I have neither cleaned the house nor cooked a single day. Our home is covered in dust and I just freeze at the very thought of dust. A few days back I did contemplate moving into my sister-in-law's house till the house work got completed. But my loving husband was not too congenial to the idea and I had to drop it.

Well that's it from my side for the time being
