Ada Jugak Downsidenye

And whoever said carpooling is easy?! Haihh.. Of course, there are a whole long list of benefits in carpooling...tapi susah jugak for working mommies like me...as some of you might know, after I was transferred to the office in Cyberjaya, we agreed to sell off both of our cars in order to get a bigger ride...lagipon, since both of us would be based in Cyberjaya, harusla we will be carpooling and we thought having a second car would be a waste because it won't be moving at all...(ye la, knowing me yg sangatla malas nak drive sendirik kalo dah ade org nak tolong drvekan back and forth to the office...campo nak save costs la...jauh hokehhhh KD-CBJ tu..)..anyways, this is before i was 100% onboarded in this new role and before my life started getting haywire with this global role...@_@...

to cut the long story short, after 8 months being in this job, both of us are starting to see one tiny problem that we keep on encountering almost every week because of our carpool decision....hubby works 9am-6pm everyday and he regularly has late telecons until 6.30pm or sometimes even to 7pm...and dia ni type yg takkan leave the office earlier to login from home, so we always ended up leaving the office pretty late and reached home even later....

as for me, my role is a lil bit more flexi but with a crazier working hours.....i'm allowed to come into the office later (not necessarily kol 9am dah kena terpacak kat sini)....but my nights would always be full with meeting and night telecon calls with my global counterparts...sometimes as early as after i reach home at 8pm dah kena login balik until 10pm...or like today...i will hv 2 back to back telecons...from 8pm sampai la pukul 11.30pm....and the next day i still hv to go back to work at 9am cos hubby needs to be at his office by that hour....fuhh..sebab tu la i ended up working +/- 14 hours a day for the past few weeks....
so at times like these....i really miss my old vios...huwaaa....kalo ade kenderaan sendiri, takyah la mak kerja like 1/2 dead like this....and at least i will hv a lil bit of work life balance...ni, balik umah, nak main ngen Nia pon tak sempat....*sigh*....the underside if working with a MNC...harap-harap rezeki kami dimurahkan la after this....so that we can afford to get a second car again....aminnn!
