What Next

Hmm, not sure I should be blogging about this, but it's worth taking note of.

I have just about run out of faith in my employer. So much so that I have spruced up my CV and am beginning to look around.

We have moved so many times in the last 6 years it's not funny. We tend to rate this in terms of where we've moved around in Lala's lifetime. Let's count them:

2012 - Seni Mont Kiara, Malaysia, which is where we lived when Lala was born.
2012 - December, we moved to Texas, Queensland, which was a professional disaster frankly.
2013 - August, we moved back to Malaysia, this time to Mutiara in Ampang. Bdoi was born when we lived here.
2014 - September, we moved to Damansara Heights, also in Malaysia. Babi was born when we lived here.
2016 - June, we moved to Barooga, as ASN had fallen apart. Started working in the store.
2018 - March, we moved to Kupang, with this mob.
2018 - October, we moved houses in Kupang, just across the road really.

So, in Lala's lifetime, we have lived in 7 different places, 8 if you include the 3 months at Mum's when we first moved back to Barooga.

Poor girl, she has moved school numerous times too. But she really takes it all in her stride, and seems to always look on the positive side, as in she gets to make some new friends.

Anyway, back to the main topic. I think my boss has lost the fucking plot. He just lives in this dreamworld of capital raising. The problem is, none of that capital ever seems to hit the bank account. I would NEVER have joined this company if I didn't think it was fully funded. I was fucking lied to. The throes of a deal for funding were in place, but not the deal itself. And frankly, that deal was a pretty shit one. Yes this is a world-class project, it's a frigging beauty frankly. But it is not easy, and to be honest I am amazed at what we have been able to achieve with virtually no money.

But this can only go on for so long. The boss is never, ever here. And as I said, I am losing faith. All I want is long-term tenure somewhere. Somewhere we can put down roots, and settle for at least a few years. I just don't know that this is the place. It could be, it really has potential. Kupang has its challenges, believe me. The place drives me and my wife nuts sometimes. But overall it's pretty nice to live here, and we're a lot closer to the rest of Asia.

But when you've lost faith. Well, you've lost faith. Anyway, we'll see what happens. Hopefully it'll come good before it's too late.
