I love to travel, to see new places, new cultures, and meet new people. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or the financial means to do this as I wish.

One of my biggest dreams, however, is to one day visit Japan. It’s a country that has fascinated me for years.

If I were to find out tomorrow that I only have a year to live, I think the first thing I would do is buy a ticket to Japan. It’s sad to say that under the pressure of “if I were to die,” I would go immediately, but without that pressure, I can’t bring myself to do it. At least not now…

My children are still young, and we couldn’t go with them, especially not that far. I know some people do, but that’s not us. Leaving them behind is difficult for both us and them, especially since visiting a country like Japan requires at least two weeks.

One day, though, I will make it happen. I hope to still have the strength to do it; that is my only fear. As my children grow, perhaps we will all be able to go together and truly enjoy the experience.

Until then… I will remain with my dreams, feelings, and hopes.

Today I’m diving back into TiddlyWiki.

It’s been a few months since our last rendez-vous! 🕵️‍♂️💻

I’m checking it as a candidate for my daily note-taking playground. Sure, I’m currently using with Twos (and absolutely loving it!), but a little adventure with new toys never hurt anyone, right? After all, deep down, I’m just a big kid at heart! 🧸

Let’s see what I can do with it!

I have been working at my current company for approximately six years. I am dedicated to my job and have a good relationship with my colleagues and superiors. I consistently demonstrate punctuality and respect, and I believe I am a valuable employee. However, it frustrates me when I see new colleagues being hired at a similar or even higher salary than mine.

I can’t help but feel that loyalty and respect do not hold much value in today’s workplace. It seems like everything is a competition to earn the highest pay, regardless of the impact on others. For instance, there is a new colleague who may be technically competent, but their lack of professionalism and disregard for others, such as frequent delays, disrespectful behavior, and immaturity in certain situations, is concerning.

I find it unfair that such an individual can begin their professional journey at the same level it took me six years to achieve. While I acknowledge that I may have not effectively highlighted my skills and accomplishments during the hiring process, I still believe that staying with a company for an extended period should be respected and valued.

Lately, I have been feeling increasingly underappreciated. If things continue in this manner, I may be compelled to begin searching for another job.
