getting into routine

It's my 2nd working day since i was retrenched. And seriously, i'm feeling bored. Fri, i was still alright doing nothing, getting over the retrenchment. Sat n Sun was bz, as usual, with family and with Ter around, i dun feel so bored.

I realise that i need to have some routine, what i wanna do during this free time, rather than idling and doing nothing. I guess, i quite a workaholic and seriously, i enjoyed working and challenges. A life too free is simply Not ME! I enjoy accomplishments and getting tasks done. Being trained at NTU biz school, it is without doubt that sometimes, i tink quite corporately, is task-oriented and can be dominative at time. While i was still in spa marketing 1 yr back, i had 2 male executives whom i gotta trained. And i'm quite strict when they dun meet up to my expectations. i give instructions n i make sure they follow it. i'm those kind of " i dun care how u do it. But u just do it and get it right." Guess, one ego guy can't take it and complained to the boss about it. I simply told my boss he's not up to the task. This guy was gone in 3 mths time as he could not perform. In the past, i always told hubby that at work, i'm always making decisions for men who can't seem to make decent, sensible, logical decisions. And thus at home, i hate to make decisions. I luv it when Ter makes decisions.

I realise that i like men who CAN make decisions. And i luv ter becoz he's firm, convicted, not fickle and able to analyse and make decisions. I reallie reallie can't take fickle men who tell me Yes today and No tomorrow. But many times, i question the decisions made, why it was made, how it was made. And i learnt a very important lesson. At work, i make decisions as i need to. But at home, i'm a wife and should respect my husband as the head of the family and take any decision he make. I mean, he will be accountable to God and i believe very strongly that he luvs me very much and would make sensible decisions, not to harm but to protect me with his heart and mind. I trust him and his luv for God and me and with these, i do not question his authority and his decisions made. Ter says my tot streamline can be rather corporate and indeed, sometimes, i bring this mindset Home. And this is the last thing i should do, to dominate at home and bring biz terms in the family. Indeed, our marriage is Not a contract and should not be bound by well-defined biz terms and conditions, and measured in costs and profit to each party when we do anything.

Anyway, back to the main pt, the point is i'm quite a workaholic and i feel bored not working! haha...My mind needs to be in work mode most of the time and when i dun work, i feel lazy. Knowing my character, here's my to-do list or goals to achieve when i'm jobless, I realise i need plans to stay focused. If not, i;ll be sleeping till late everyday and wasting my time like a lazy fool!
