Let Me Introduce You, Mice Community!

Once upon time in a very far metropolitan city were living a community of Mice. As we all know, Mouse is a very intelligent and diligent animal to find foods. (Are they? hush, this is my blog, I can make any story and description I want). And unlike human, they support each other like family. But, all mice here, they almost like human. On which part, so let's just hear the story then. I have many stories to tell and i will tell you in series, but first of all in this blog, we need to know all the actors and actresses.

Let me introduce you to the actors and actress:

Mr.Fatty-Ass Mouse : He is the leader. Always corrupt, exploit subordinates, never do his job unless urgent, got no brain (you'll never know why he could be the leader), has s joker face; in front of his subordinates always looks smiley and nice, but never being supportive to his subordinates, when it comes to performance evaluation; he could looked like an angel in front of the Big Boss so he always got straight A's, while his subordinates get straight C's, always giving hope that he actually realized it is impossible, full of foxy politics to save his ass. Physically; he is using a bad-look glasses, big smile (like a joker), fatty ass and fat belly, white teeth and fair skin, overall: terribly Ugly.

Mr.Licking-Fatty-Ass Mouse : Okay, this one is huge. His body size is almost double every normal mouse size. And about his personality, i don't have much word to describe, he is a very good bootlicker. He is Mr. Fatty-Ass Mouse accomplice. All the information regarding the Big Boss, comes from his mouth.

Mr.News-Anchor-Mouse : This guy actually is the key to Mice Community, because he is the sales guy. He sells what Mice have. But rather being a sales man, he is being a news anchor. He rarely moves his ass from his chair, he is monitoring online news for almost 12 work-hours, and while he is monitoring the news, he tells mice around him and start making stories up about his life, related to the news in order to make him looks very good and very intelligent. He is is one of the reasons the sales graphic in Mice Community is going down. Once it comes to performance evaluation, he never gets D since he is Fatty-Ass Mouse best friend. Physically; heavy-smoker look, almost dark teeth, quiet fat-belly, and thin gray hair.

Mr.So-Exist Mouse : Oh this Mouse is interesting. He is so active in selling the Mice Community product. He is a sales man like News-Anchor Mouse, but this one is almost on the contrary of News-Anchor Mouse. He is very active, he is mobile, and he likes shopping so much. He has many friends, and whenever he is, the surroundings could be fun. But, he doesn't really care to his friends, how his friend support him. As long he could achieve the target, could satisfy his customers, and could have fun with his friends, the world seems perfect to him then he will just go home smiling to his family at the end of the day. and somehow, he is not good with technology. He is in between of generations native digital and digital immigrant. Physically; he is using fine glasses, neat and tidy look, a little bit fat, and standard height.

Mr. Navvy Mouse : This mouse never done any heavy work, but the mental is almost like a navvy. He likes money. Everybody does, but he likes it just more. In his everyday life, everything else doesn't matter, one matter does; Money! He doesn't say thank you or please, seems his parents never taught him to do so. An ace wanna be. Mr. Fatty-Ass mouse doesn't like him Physically; he has body builder look, got good eyes, a smoker, and dressed plainly.

Mrs. Nouvelles Mouse : She is a new comer to the community, lucky her, i don't have many words to describe her. She is tiny and small, the only girl in the community (hardly to believe that this community has one). Currently keep asking about each one in the community, getting to know every one of them. (I'll update her profile soon enough).

Mr. Runner Mouse : This mouse is really nice until it's really hard for him to say no to the others. Always be the victim of Mr. Fatty-Ass Mouse. Working hard at the beginning while never gets appreciation until force him to be an ordinary guy with an ordinary work flow. Got a huge dream to pursue. Never focus to work, since always has a life project to do, getting away from the community. He likes to read, he likes to study, and he likes to write. physically; neat and tidy look, and a little bit fatty.

Mr. Thin-Tank Mouse : Technology mouse, he repairs all computers in Mice community. Yes man typical. The second victim of Mr. Fatty-Ass Mouse. Always being asked by Mr. Fatty-Ass Mouse to do a lot of almost impossible job in history to cover his fatty ass.

Taking Master Abroad, Getaway VS Pursuing Life's Objectives

Up til now, it is difficult for me to answer this question. Getting my master degree abroad recently, it is my life objectives or it's just my getaway ticket from my miserable work place.

I have my clear obsession to pursue my master and Phd abroad. I have a strong will to do that, and I won't stop until I could get my Phd, and standing on a podium being a professor. With this explanation, probably all of you would say, actually you did answer your question. But my heart says, it is not.

It's not the matter of I'm not proud to what I do, that is exactly not true. I am so proud of what I do, but the environment where I work is actually the problem. In my simple mind, and from a very simple thought, that people go to work, beside getting money; which is the utmost important to people, the first reason for people to getup early in the morning is to fulfill their basic needs, is for people to grow and making improvement in order to; if you think about it a little bit farther, at the end perhaps you will get the same conclusion with me; in order to fulfill people's needs and wants.

Now, at my work place, I am not experiencing this thing, getting myself improved. And also, there are bad habits that they are introducing to me.

Some people might say, you should be thankful you do have a job in Jakarta, it is really hard to find one there. But that is not my objective, I don't go to college just to get a job, I go to college because I have a lot bigger dreams than just getting a high paying job, which is not happening to me either. I want to make a change in this world, in Indonesia, In Jakarta and for Islam.

In a process to pursue my goal, I can't just stay here, swallowing a lot of bad behavior to me. Getting late everyday, ignoring control to subordinates; whenever something happens the superior will then just start thinking, no job description; so superior can just instruct anything to you without any consideration as long it is getting done, never discuss any new regulation; everything just goes as it is, do not make a report as what it is; always being hectic to find a way in order to make that report looks very good to the big boss and terrifically the big boss never do the control part, each one at the office tries to looks good to the superior; instead of being supportive to be a good team, superior can just take-off from the office or take a leave whenever they need to, etc. So, tell me people, is this a healthy environment for you to grow?

And i know what you might say, welcome to Jakarta and to the real life. This is exactly what we have to survive from. So pathetic!

I think, I might say, yes, I want to take my master degree abroad as a getaway ticket for me from the place I work now and in a process to pursue my goal to make a change in this pathetic world. So then, i would know for sure, deep down in my heart, my real motivation for taking my master degree.

One thing I have to be thankful to right now is, my work place taught me to be tough and to open my eyes that the environment I live in right now is pathetic. So God, please help me getting my ticket.
