Ok, this is getting annoying.

How long will the political unrest in Bangkok last? How many prime ministers do you want to change before you will stop with the protestings? I want to go to your freaking country and spend my hard-earned money to improve your economy. But am I allowed to?

Lest I sound like a spoiled brat (I know I do), I'll like to clarify that I have nothing against the current PM or his predecessors. Neither do I have anything against People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD). From the reports, it seems that while Thaksin was in power, he did some good, but wasn't all perfect.

But I think that people who wield power are rarely pure, kind souls. There has to be a dark part of them wanting the power, wanting the blood that comes with the power, to continue on their chosen path. If they are pure, kind souls, they probably would not be in politics. They'll be Mother Theresa. Or Ghandi. Ok, maybe not Ghandi, since he lead protests, albeit non-violence once. But at least his actions were not politically motivated?

I need to bitch about work. Perhaps it's the end of the year or perhaps it's the unsatisfactory increment. It could even be the lack of decent lunch conversation and the torture of having to look at MM for 9 hours daily, 5 times a week, 20 times a month.

I am sick of work, the people around me and... everything. When one no longer derive pleasure from work, what is one to do? Perhaps I'm really annoyed with myself, because at 25 years old, I'm still pretty much penniless and a NON-EXEC. Yes, it grates because I didn't spend 1.5 years slogging through my part-time degree course so I can draw minimum pay and be labelled a non-exec.

I especially do not like being summarily dismissed. How can I be treated as an equal in a team when everyone else is an exec, except for me? Need to change job. NEED to change job!
