Muted May

This has been a quiet month.  I got myself busy with vibe coding.  My first project was to automate my ServiceNow ticket tracking using Gemini.  I used Gemini to generate java scripts that scan my mail inbox for mails from ServiceNow, check my tracker if they already exist.  If the ticket already exists, the script will use Gemini to summarize the content and update the records.  If the ticket is new, it will create a new entry in my tracker.  There's still some issues with new tickets, so the process is semi-automated.  But man...  it reduces my workload a lot.  This particular task that could take anywhere between 15 to 20 hours a week now takes an hour a day.  And I only need to pay about S$6 to save myself 40 to 60 hours a month.  I was so frustrated when the asshole manager told me ticket tracking will be removed from my 2026 KPI, but apparently I'm still the one conducting weekly calls with the team in Vietnam.  Since they're looking for ways to fail me, I have to step up my game too against these assholes.

Agonizing April

This month has been an absolute nightmare on the work front.  That asshole manager's rating materialized in a performance bonus of only 0.6 months and a 1.3% salary increment.  That "bonus" couldn't even pay for my income tax in full.  I'm so incensed beyond what words can describe.  3 of my colleagues got 2 months bonus, 1 guy who hasn't completed a year got 1 month, pro rated.  Mine has to be the lowest around.  God.... that witch really must die, I curse her, to not have peacefuls days, months and years for as long as she lives!  That's how angry I am, and how much I hate her and her f☠c🗡ing cronies.

Mauled March

I really don't have anything nice to say for March, this month has been an absolute nightmare at work.  It is the appraisal month and things really came to a head with that asshole manager of mine.  Oh yeah....  Absolute asshole...  Her appraisal of me was extremely subjective, she completely ignored the factors that resulted in delays on one of my KPI.  And she decided I did not meet expectations because I couldn't give a presentation that summarizes the as-is and to-be plan for data and file archival.  I'm so incensed...  It's not the presentation that matters but what I do on the ground that matters, to ensure the system does not come to a stop, which I do constantly.  I was essentially trying to fix the mess caused by another witch in a different department.  Despite all my efforts to fight fire she decided to give me a "Partially Meets Expectation" which is extremely unfair.  However I decided not to challenge her judgement anymore and just take myself out of ONE for good.  I know that she doesn't like me and she has to probably promote another asshole to manager.  The amazing thing is, I've informed her boss of my issues with her but I don't see any improvements and instead see myself getting pushed further into a corner.  And as my friend said, the longer I stay in the team, the dumber I'll look, which I really agree, but I can't do anything about it....

Flippy February

February's ending with my 17th wedding anniversary.  Yeah, it's been that long...  But this month, this year, has been very eventful.  I'm starting to think that I could be a regular visitor to the A&E.  This month the staff at Raffles Hospital really got to know me very well.

Jarring January

This month has been an absolutely awful month.  It has been an eventful 31 days for sure.  We started this month with a barbeque with my sister's in-laws.  It was kind of an awkward party, because my sister had a big fight my mom back in December and her husband actually asked me to translate his intentions to my mom which I felt was utterly disrespectful to my mom.  Although I agree that what my mom did was wrong and overboard, I felt that she still deserves some respect and shouldn't have been treated that way.  I was very upset at my sister and her husband, I felt that what they did was absolutely disgusting and I couldn't bear to associate myself with them.  It was a gathering that I wanted to end quickly and just get over with.

Japan Holiday 2025 Part 4

From Noboribetsu it was time to go on to the last leg of our journey which is Sapporo.  After checking out from Takimoto Kan, we took a bus ride to the train station.  As we were quite early the missus and I explored the surrounding for a quick look and see at this quaint little town.
