School Holidays

The upcoming school holidays will probably be a quiet one. I had applied for 5 days' leave and am planning to stay home, cook, take small excursions with the children, do some spring cleaning and probably lots of thinking.

I normally work through school holidays (or any holiday for that matter, except the Hari Rayas) but this unprecedented leave application is needed for my mental health.

Despite enjoying the e-learning initiative, being a 'digital champion' and doing overall module development (intellectually), the work environment has become a bit toxic. The documentation is killing us. Is it just me? The others seem to be feeling it too. However the difference is: we cannot engineer a coup or create a backdoor government in a private enterprise. Our bosses simply will not allow it.

So next week I will be with my children. Work will be put aside for a while. And work will be there when I come back. My children on the other hand will grow up & may not need me as much in future.

Here's to a meaningful, productive and an amazing week ahead!
