Hardwork doesn't always pays off

Finally, the war zone in the office is over.......

With the recent changes in the top management, i'm lucky to be still surviving in the office. The accountant will be converting to working 3 days a week. A lot of his work would be pass out to the whoever..... which many of us believe once the trade is learnt, the take over would be complete - meaning, once the whoever is comfortable with the work, the accountant service would no longer be needed. Sigh............

Well, lots of speculation as to whether the office is closing for good have reach an end - office will continue to operate under the new head, everything else remains the same (as far as my work is concerned). Sad to say - today's meeting shows that my MD doesn't even know what is my work scope. And no wonder, whatever opportunity for advancement have been pass off me. Ha... after almost 20 years, that's the treatment i got in return. Sigh........... To think that when i initially joined the company, the MD's treatment towards me is so different from now (perhaps i've become tranparent already). Remember there's once when i wanted to take 2 days off continuously (which i have never done before in my years of service), the MD asked if the office is going to function without me. What a joke, if i'm that important, i wouldn't be where i'm standing right now.

I could only conclude - hardwork doesn't always pays off! Must work hard and work smart. Well, i work hard no doubt, however, i have forgotten about working smart...........

Even my baking is playing tricks with me recently too. Nothing seems to be done well, my steam pandan bolu failed (it rise while steaming but sank when the steamer is switch off - this never happen before for this recipe which i tried numerous time). Chocolate cake centre is uncooked. Even today's coffee chiffon cake is a complete disaster. All this failed attempts really puts me off from any further baking let alone taking photos of my disastrous product. Baking - goodbye for now till i regains my confidence to try again.
