Wide Awake
Tossing and turning.. I am trying my best to sleep.. But till now.. my eyes are still not tired.. Maybe because I dozed off while watching TV just now..
I was addicted reading www.taxidiary.blogspot.com This blog address is by a Singaporean with a PHD, but driving a taxi for to earn for a living now. He wrote about his daily experience with his customers. Very interesting and his entries reflected Singaporeans' characteristics and daily happenings. I wonder if he will go back to his research sector or go into teaching if there is an opportunity. I thought lecturers earn quite hefty sum, especially University since is in demand. Personally, I feel that definitely being a taxi driver is not an easy job. Since day 1 I went into Polytechnic to study for my Diploma course, I already knew that research job will not last. That is why I chose to work in Quality Control and Assurance Department since the day I stepped into working life. A manufacturing company can do without research but cannot do without quality control and assurance. When the company is facing downturn, there is no need to have researchers already to develop new products. My management always tell me to find ways for cost effectiveness of our products, improving quality and maintaining the standard of the products. They seldom talk about development of new products like competitors having paint that reflect light, Teflon coatings, conductive coatings, fire retardent coatings and etc. Sometimes when I watch Discovery channel, I got fastinated with the new technology coming up from Europe. They are really good researchers man. Actually, being a chemist, I really enjoyed what I am doing now. My job scope is to help company to save money without sacrificing the quality of my products. I love to work on reprocessing of old stocks and improving the products. I feel the challenge when trouble shooting problems we face daily. I know I will miss my job during my 16 weeks materity leave. And, my fellow colleagues will also miss me too. Hahaha... Ok, I think is time to tuck in and sleep. Hus already on bed, sleeping like a log. Hope I can wake up on time tomorrow. |
