♥ Post-dinner thoughts
I know I know. I totally failed the 30 days challenge thing haha well who'd expect me to be able to complete it successfully anw. But I'll definitely try to complete it. In about er.. 10 yrs' time? Yea probably. Must. Stay. Optimistic.
LOL.
Anyway, well I'm here coz I need to blog out some stuff that's causing me to feel sad. Basically what happened was I tried to be nice and organized this mini celebration dinner thing for a colleague who's getting married. Well it went alright except for that only 4 people ordered something to eat, and 3 people left early (the team only has 9 ppl in total). And basically I've been picking up hints from a couple of individuals indicating that they might not be so willing to attend this kind of thing.
So I end up feeling like I've done something really extra and redundant.
So I started wondering how come the atmosphere then was so different as compared to when I go out w my friends, even though everyone are really nice people. Then I realise that good teammates =/= good friends.
Good teammates can work well and be super productive together, producing impressive results etc. But that doesnt mean they like to hang out with each other on a more personal level like just spending time talking about stuff other than work over a cup of drink. Well, sometimes that does happen lah, but going out together? Definitely not possible.
And so I thought, if this is how I'm going to become when I start working in future, then I'm going to become such a no-lifer. Ok maybe not to the extent of no life but imagine facing the same people every single day and they're nothing more than colleagues.
Ok I'm digressing alr.
My main point was, organizing this kind of things seem really really extra and redundant and money + time wasting for the perms and I dont think I should do it again. Such things might seem lovely in school context where you celebrate someone's bday or something. But it gets super diluted when you go out into society I guess. Coz most people just want to live their own lives and can't really be bothered about yours.
It's lacking warmth.
I'm digressing again.
Ya the main thing is, I dont think I should organize another team lunch/dinner/wtv. But I think I should on the day tt the other temp in the team is leaving. But.. Idk.
Sigh.
