In less than half an hour, 2023 will come to an end. This December has been delightful for a number of reasons, the main one being that I spent the first 2 weeks of the month on my Japan vacation. It is a long overdue vacation since 2019, so I made sure to make this trip well it's worth. We travelled across Tokyo, Kawaguchiko, Kyoto, Osaka & Karuizawa before finally ending the trip with a bang in Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo Disneysea.

Yes... This has been an extremely wicked month where work is concerned. This particular "team mate" of mine is really an asshole, and that's putting it mildly. There was an instance when the overwhelming colleague (who made me got my chest tightness in our meeting last month) reached out from a JIRA story complaining about a feature that was supposed to have been deployed on the previous week but was nowhere to be found. And this "team mate" of mine left a scorching remarks in the JIRA thread that really made my blood boil. Turned out, the enhancement was overwritten by a deployment that made it gone missing.

I felt like October just whizzed past me. So many things happened over a span of less than 31 days. Work has been unforgiving as usual. I'm strongly considering to ask for an internal transfer as soon as I'm eligible because I really cannot stand the pace and an ambitious team mate who's willing to make me look bad so that he can get ahead. There's also this other colleague who's so stubborn, sitting with him for a meeting earlier this month almost triggered my panic attack again. It was a sensation that I haven't felt in a while but suddenly returned this month. I guess I have been quite stressed out at work. I have finished almost 24 muscle relaxant pills this month..... That's how difficult this month has been...

September has been plain sailing so far, with some health problems every now and then. I'm still reminiscing about my trip to Batam earlier this month, there are times when I wish I could be transported back there in an instant. Harbour Bay has certainly become more charming now.

As I'm writing this month's entry, I have just submitted 2 complaints for missing items in my online delivery purchases as well as repacking an item that should be returned due to the wrong order being sent to me. In total, 3 deliveries were bungled over a span of 7 days which leaves me extremely annoyed.

July has been an extremely busy month with a good share of bad episodes too. On the work front, I had to work for about 4 hours on 3 Sundays just to catch up with work. Sometimes, I'm really not sure what's going on with work. Is it the norm to be so busy here in ONE? Or just in my department? Or just in my team?
