Changes

I didn't look this bad... on the outside, that is.

I've been sulking with my bosses for the last couple of weeks. I am currently in IT Facilities department of Petronas. I've been overdue for a transfer to the IT Planning department for a year now. The first postponement was my choice, I was offered an irresistable project to manage. It was completed quite some time back but due to some reason or another, I have been 'detained' in my current position.

Not that I didn't enjoy my work. The neighbours are great, adequate perks, life was essentially good. I guess all I wanted was change, and since change was offered in the form of a transfer, something was tugging at me to take it up.

This dissatisfaction with what you have can be pretty uncomfortable. Some call it ambition. How many movies have we watched where the characters lament over their childhood dreams. This slow erosion of our pre-adolescent ideals can be argued as practicality - what makes us 'adults'. But honestly, if you're punching the clock in a bank, wouldn't you rather be a ballerina?
