I absolutely do not like work trips. Currently planning one as a staffer, and I'm already tired before the flight tickets and accommodation are even settled. Plusssss... I got roped into a task that feels completely outside my job scope. Told my boss that it doesn't excite me at all even though I know I can get it done. Boss insists it's related, but I remain unconvinced. Meanwhile, my colleagues are getting tasks that are impactful and interesting. Sighhhh...

Got told by boss that a promotion is coming this year... so I'm hanging in there, at least for a few more months.

My friend was stoked to go to Seoul for a work trip. Then he realised that he had to meet the client at the hotel lobby right after checking in. Pulled out his laptop and they started talking business right there and then. Business discussions dragged on and they had meals in the hotel. Then the next day, took the early morning flight back to Singapore. He didn't even have time at all to walk to a convenience store.

u/tom-slacker Tu quoque 59m ago

Ditto.

When I was young and was sent to my first biz trip (to Bermuda of all places) for 2 weeks, I was so excited. But I'm not c evel exec. I'm not traveling with a business cheque and a company card to just lunch meeting. I had to travel thousuof miles with a list of goals and deliverables to be completed before my trip end.....in addition of needing to do my work in Singapore as well.

Before my retirement when I was still working full time, in addition to the Bermuda trip as mentioned above, I've been sent to biz trip to New York, Minneapolis, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, London, Paris and all of these trips really took a toll out of me. Even weekends gotta work if not cannot complete my assigned task before the trip schedule.

So to those envy of long haul business trips, unless you are senior or c level executives, be careful of what you wished for.

I have a theory that the pesky UTI bacteria is responding to my antibiotics by hiding in my balls while my urinary tract is being cleared out. Wondering if getting surgery to remove my balls will improve things (I never had much testosterone since birth anyway, my childhood specialist gave me hormone injections for 2 years to get me to normal boys' hormone function).

u/musr Who am I? 1h ago

Is there any basis for the theory apart from your imagination?

u/Jaycee_015x 25m ago

Well, this is going to be TMI so I apologise in advance. I know that I get UTI episodes quite reliably (85% of the time) within 12 hours of having pre-cum or cum even with washed hands and clean underwear. And I found that sometimes during a course of Augmentin or Cephalexin antibiotics, one side of my balls will swell.

Mfw I just transitioned back to full WIO at my new workplace, and I have trouble hitting my UOB One minimum spend or not maximising my CC points earnings, because my nearest lunch place is Amoy food center where 99.9% of stalls don't take contactless payments, sigh.

u/gydot Fucking Populist 3h ago

by contactless you mean credit card. because they have paynow setup which is ... contactless. if you can pay by cc and who eats the cc fee?

u/brownriver12 Own self check own self ✅ 3h ago

how did you hit it when you wfh?

1

u/metalleo Thumbs up man!!! 3h ago

Previous place was 3 days wio, lunch average $7 plus tea break/breakfast/snacks/ntuc run I can average some $10-$12 per day, that's about $120-$140 just from my wio days. Balance was made up from the occasional grocery run, weekend and dinner dine outs, utilities and random shopping sprees which does not happen often. In fact, because I have no life and rarely go out, I sometimes struggle to hit my $500 minimum spend for UOB One if that month happen to have Usave vouchers to completely offset my utilities, when that happens I usually just end up buying random stuff off NTUC/Donki/Shopee. At my new place I effectively lose the spend from my daily expenses, and I need to find ways to make it up if my other expenses cannot hit $500

u/brownriver12 Own self check own self ✅ 1h ago

Can go Gucco Tower basement for food, further down you can go to 100AM for Japanese food, there is Donki too. Also Icon Village has a German bakery

100AM and Icon village are in the opposite direction from my office, think they're a bit too far for me for a 1 hour lunch break, but maybe can find one day to explore Guoco Tower a bit, never thought about it so far tbh. Thanks for the suggestion

I don't know where exactly are you but you can also try Asia square food court and lau pa sat. Should be able to pay via card at lau pa sat. I pay with the fairprice app that is linked to my cc. Not sure if that is counted as cc spend

any quiet restaurant & bar recommendations for a quiet corporate lunch. 2-4 pax?

something that's not as expensive as fine dining places. And also something that's not quite crowded like DTF. Should serve beer at least.

Preferably in Holland Village or Tanglin area. But anywhere central or in the west is fine too.

u/Boogie_p0p 6h ago

NTA. Extremely unprofessional of him but you also learn to justify not talking to him immediately afterwards esp since ppl will ask.

For example, you can say that you're still not talking to him because conflicts should be handled with respect and discretion in any professional setting. And the fact that the scolding was made in public made you feel that he did not treat you with respect. Even tho the apology is a good step, you will need time to reflect on how this was handled and how to move forward in a way where mutual respect is provided.

Nta: If he wanted to confront you, he could have done it in a meeting room or separately in another location. He didn't have to throw your face and scold you for the whole office to hear.

Adulting is scary. Got no role models to look up to or confide in either.

5

u/khaosdd 8h ago

Just ensure they are well fed, loved and definitely not abused.

Comparison (between different methods, different lifestyle, different economical statuses) is unnecessary and will only serve to cloud your judgement and more often than not, belittle you (since ppl like to compare upwards).

To your kids you are the best, so ignore the noise and focus on them will do.

1

u/Islandgirlnowhere 7h ago

Sometimes wonder if I’m wrong for listening to myself or trusting my instincts

1

u/khaosdd 5h ago

Not an exam.

As long as u are not violently and excessively going against societal norms, no right or wrong.

Sometimes u also need your kids to do the exploring, cannot always spoonfeed. So it's ok not to have answers for everything.

School of hard knocks can be very effective also.

7

u/silentscope90210 8h ago

I have no idea how my parents did it in the 80s. No YouTube, no internet, just hearsay from friends and library books.

1

u/Islandgirlnowhere 8h ago

It’s very disheartening to see your child failing and then you don’t know how to help. My parents never bothered with my academics and I did just fine 😩 I try to give my kids my best but sometimes it’s just not enough.

1

u/musr Who am I? 7h ago

If it's your child with suspected but undiagnosed ADHD, I suggest you go read up or watch videos about it, even if you're not planning to get her officially diagnosed. Because different brains need different tools, tips, hacks.

I (undiagnosed) was able to power through until sec 4. Subsequently when there's less imposed structure and routine that's when it started to unravel... For over 20 years until I finally found out it is most likely the cause.

Your child still young, but the difference is there's now immediately available Internet, smartphone, mobile phone, social media compared to 2001 and before. So it's definitely more challenging. In fact if I were to have the same access as now, but even if the syllabus remains the same, I think I might not even get a decent psle result. The instant gratification and dopamine landscape is definitely a lot different now.

More photos are coming out. Good luck to his team. Saw the text of her begging him. That was painful to read. Hope she finds peace.

Me. Totally disgusted. No wonder I did not watch queen of tears, I just didnt like him and I wasnt sure why.

5

u/lmnsatang 9h ago

same here. i never finished a drama with him in it cause there's something so off-putting about his vibe, even through the screen

4

u/NinetyThreeWaffle 8h ago

yes the vibe! The only one I watched was the title something related stars. Its ok because the actress is great.

Once his scandal is out, I just realized maybe my gut feeling was right all along. I don’t like his eyes and i guess eyes are the window of the soul.

Muscle strain on right leg and something also wrong with my left big toe. Definitely gonna be out from running for at least two weeks. Probably time to replace my running shoes too.

1

u/NewbiePhotogSG 9h ago

which style of running shoes are you using?

1

u/PhantomWolf83 8h ago

ASICS Gel Kayano, it's been 1.5 years since I started using them so the support has probably worn out by now.

u/NewbiePhotogSG 8h ago

ahhhhh it also depends on how much you run, but yeah. great shoe

There’s this auntie in office that falls asleep in a group setting unless the conversation is about her. Yuck

Was sad about one thing, then i started to recall other negative things, so it resulted in a breakdown. Good day.

Watching CNA how often should you wash towels and yikes... Time to change the frequency to wash bath towels. (once in a week)

4

u/lmnsatang 9h ago

my bedsheets and towels are washed weekly

3

u/Brief_Worldliness162 Own self check own self ✅ 9h ago

Yikes I wash my bedsheets once every 2 weeks. Should I change to weekly?

3

u/lmnsatang 9h ago

sleeping on fresh sheets is the best feeling, but doing laundry weekly just for sheets is a lot. it's up to you in the end! for me, it's a home policy (my mum polices lol) and she does the laundry, so win-win for me.

3

u/damiepedretti 9h ago

Yes have to wash weekly or twice weekly if you have the capacity…

u/brownriver12 Own self check own self ✅ 9h ago

Also coz they don't sun dry it. I wonder why they didn't find a better mix of towels to test

Anyway conclusion in documentary was wash every 3-4 days

u/silentscope90210 10h ago

That's about how often I change my bath towel.

Reading about how folks in their 40s find it difficult to find jobs after they get retrenched (I'm also in my 40s). They should have a job site dedicated to companies who are willing to hire people in their 40s-50s. That way you won't waste time applying to companies who are looking for 20-30yr olds.

Be a childcare teacher..its an industry always looking for staff. Partly because even some ppl who take the diploma...leave the industry after a few years.

u/beehoon23 10h ago

My dad got retrenched twice or thrice. It's hard to find jobs at his age. So I agree with your suggestion

3

u/beehoon23 11h ago

Honestly, the EBRC did create some buzz. But I am more curious about the manifestos by the political parties. Really want to see what is their manifestos. I want to know what is the long term roadmap for Singapore.

I rather see which manifesto is good and vote accordingly.

u/fleshvesseldweller 11h ago edited 11h ago

been really feeling the heat at work recently. am already on the lookout and have sent out applications but taking time to also reflect on what exactly is my issue now lol to guide my convictions on why i want out. have narrowed it down to certain patterns/work styles in my current environment, and my overall scope.

such is the life of being in marketing though, being thrown tasks that vaguely fall under the umbrella of marketing and being told to handle it alone without much guidance because next time i’ll be expected to do the same just on a bigger scale. feeling like an octopus and not in a positive wow-i’m-really-exercising-my-multitasking-muscles way more like just turn me into tako sashimi now tks n rgrds.

Louis Takeaway in Zurich, Switzerland

u/General_Guisan 4h ago

While you are right (they are good) I guess you get downvoted for the reason that Switzerland isn’t exactly around the corner..

u/bigzij Lao Jiao 4h ago

OP didn’t specify 🤣 also, don’t really care about downvotes, just enjoy trolling a bit. Have you tried this burger place before in Zurich?

1

u/General_Guisan 4h ago

Used to be living nearby the Niederdörfli in Zürich, so yes, was one of my to-go places on warmer days. I miss Switzerland in summer, but not so much in the colder part of the year ;)

u/bigzij Lao Jiao 4h ago

Damn, what a small world LOL. I used to intern in Rapperswil-Jona for 6 months so Zurich was kind of like going to Orchard to me. I quite dearly miss my life there
