Can’t really imagine that I have been working in that company for 7 years meanwhile I have been here Hive for four and half year, how time flies. These years been facing a lot of new things, learning quite a lot from the company, of course I was having so many trouble from the work and life as well especially back to the lockdown period of the COVID from 2020-2023.
If my memory is correct, I almost shared all my life pictures on hive to you guys these year, after the world back to normal from COVID, I am able to travel for business trip with my team quite often and I do shared all the pictures to people on Hive.
However recently I think that everything I am doing on hive is kind of routine, I am less passioned starting from 2024 even though I try to keep update my blog daily here. After my grandma passed aways back in late Feb this year, sounds everything is changed, I am like, just take the writing blog on Hive as a part of my job instead of sharing my happiness to the other from deep from my heart.
Even worse, my company is having less head count but my boss never plans to replace the vacancy, my workload is higher and higher now. Now everyday I am busy with handling the customers enquiry and checking with the production schedule in factory, and handling the countless paper work. Sometime my boss turns into maniac and randomly shut at the people, gosh, what a bad day when he decides to shut and brawl with me.
He's a people who care if you are resting during lunch hour break, he would call you for a meeting even it’s lunch hour break as long as he notices you are sitting in the office, that’s the reason I never take lunch at the office during the lunch break.
As some hivers already know I am living in the Shenzhen but working in Hong Kong, I am going to take 3 hours to travel around, I could suffer not sleeping enough in early 30 but sounds my body can no longer handle that anymore when I am approaching 40 now.
Thus, usually I simply rush to eat out with my manager and try to get back office, wishing my boss is out for his lunch alone, then I have some time to take a nap before the resume working, my route is really like in one line two point, my colleague would go down to take a walk around after they have eaten the lunch at the office, but I hardly do that during these 7 years.
Days ago, I ate lunch alone outside and suddenly wanted to visit some places nearby my company, actually I was living in this district when I was child, supposed I am very familiar with the places around somehow I feel strange and uncomfortable to visit the places where I haven’t been to for long time. It’s too many unknown and new to me. Probably I am sick of the change now, I only want to go to the place where I am familiar with.
Anyhow I finally pick up my courage trying to visit some “new place”, that’s why I been to the park downstairs of my company called Hoi Sham Park (海心公園), the word 海心 literally mean “Sea” “Heart”, languages are really funny, we can always surprised by the translation from one to the other.
There’s no doubt that the park is nearby the sea but even myself can’t figure out how come they would pick the world “heart” to name the park. Anyway there’s a sight for introduction in both Chinese and English for your reference, oops, probably the park is just too old, the paint on the sight are fading aways some words are not really clear.
I saw some high school students playing around, I started being nostalgic to my high school time, all the things I needed to do was just handling the assignment and revision, what a laid-back life I ever had. And now, I don’t even dare to apply the annual leave for holiday with my wife when considering there’s bad head count shortage, last year when I was traveling with her in Harbin, all the shits come to me simultaneously, that really made me scare to dump my work and go away for holiday.
Hopefully the situation will be better as my boss finally willing to hire one person as a replacement to the people who left our company 2 years ago, and one more is coming after the Christmas.
After having a walk in the park, I felt way better to take care the shits in company and I can smile to my boss when he randomly shut at me or trying to have a brawl with me to make me angry. That’s the biggest thing that I earned during the walk.
