Suatu Hari
Aku ingin duduk
dihadapanmu, sambil menunduk
memandangi barisan kata-kata yang terus bertambah
sambil kau memandangiku sesekali
sambil aku memandangimu sesekali
yang keduanya ditutup dengan senyuman
Lantai kayu berlapis parket
Dinding bata bercat putih
Gantungan mungil warna-warni
Suara detak jam dinding
dan derap langkah kaki kecil
Aku ingin duduk di hadapanmu
sambil tersenyum
hingga senja kita tiba.

Kesetiaan Istri Nabi Ayyub As.
"Dan ingatlah akan hamba Kami Ayyub ketika dia menyeru Tuhannya, 'sesungguhnya aku diganggu setan dengan penderitaan dan bencana.'" (QS. Sâd, 38: 41)
Iblis menguji Ayyub secara bertubi-tubi. Hartanya yang banyak berupa tanah binatang, budak habis. Anaknya meninggal. Ayyub pun sakit parah. Orang-orang mengusirnya dari kampung halamannya. Tidak ada yang menemaninya, kecuali istrinya yang bernama Lia binti Ya'kub.
(Ibn Jarir At-Tabari, Tarikh At-Tabari: 109)

Eleventh Day: Happy Last Day
This writing should be posted on March 20th (Thu).
Today is my last day in Kadence. I got through most of this day with kinda blue feeling. However, i knew this day would definitely come right after i submitted the letter, so i just tried to chill out and kept working on a screener (still, by taking the overtime).
Though i can't resist the sadness, i have to be grateful as today finally came. i feel blessed when i got those surprises and whises from them. Thank to God for giving me the opportunity to know each of them.
Again, wish me luck!

Tenth Day: Happy Counting Down The Day
You know the feeling when you gonna leave somebody or something, right?
It's a day before my last day at Kadence.
A day with so much laughs because of people in there somehow become much much funnier--i dont know why. I even told to them, "Guys, why did u turn to be this funnier at my last days? How can i leave this place peacefully?" :D
What they say is right, you'll be realized how precious someone is when you lost them.
However, i have taken a decision.
Wish me luck!

Have a good sleep,

Eighth Day: Have a "Good Day"
I might never realized if source of happiness in a day could come from a compliment coffee, if only i'm not joining to this project :)
Today, my spv suddenly gave me a "good day" bottle with tiramisu flavour. This is my favorite than the other flavor (which "Good Day" only has 2 kind of flavours. Forgot what is the other one :p). I didn't ask why he gave me that coffee, but i ain't wondering why he hand over me the tiramisu one instead of the other. It caused of once i have shared, in our casual conversation, that i like "Good Day" Tiramisu so much.
I just learnt something from him. You could make someone else happy by doing a simple thing. You know what it is, only by showing that you remember what they shared to you ;)
Thanks for the tiramisu coffee, Masron! :D
Have a good night now,

Seventh Day: Happy Sunday Movie (The Wind Rises)
This sunday, me and Kak Atha went to a movie for watching "The Wind Rises". That is the title for an anime movie made by the legend, Hayao Miyazaki and produced under Ghibli Studio roof. "The Wind Rises" or "Kaze Tachinu" (title in Japanese version) becomes a very special movie since this is the last mastepiece of Miyazaki Sensei before he claimed for a retirement as an anime movie maker. For those who adore Miyazaki's works, like "Spirited Away" or "Tonari no Totoro" might have already waited this movie for a long time.
The story tells about a dedicated airplane engineer, Jiro Horikoshi. He is the real character who lived in early 1900's. Yes, this movie is dedicated to him. Jiro had obsessed with airplane since he was young. In the movie, it showed that he often dreaming of an aeronautical engineer from Italy, Caproni. He ran for his dream and successfully being promoted as a chief designer of an airplane which will be used for fighting during the war. He experienced the failure at the first trial. But then, his later designed airplane called Mitsubishi A5M or widely known as "Zero" became the success and introduced at the early of world war II.
Overall i enjoyed the movie and this time quite thoughtful seeing Miyazaki showed how dedicated Jiro was, both for his role as an engineer and a life-partner. At the last scene, in Jiro's dream, Caproni asked to him which one he prefers, world with or without pyramids. The question emerged to confront his thought of the regret for his own invention which caused the deaths on the war.
I asked the same question to a friend on the day after i watched the movie, just for fun. We might think the existence of pyramid would not affect our current life. He said if there is no pyramids in this world, our life might be very different from now. There will be no air-scrapper building or any other innovation, especially for architecture development history. And i think he is right. Everything brings something to this world, even though they have such dark sides. Like the airplanes which Caproni and Jiro made. They might have been utilized as the tools to attack or kill people, but they still have their own beauty which is needed to make a life-scenario.
I believe everything happens for a reason. Only few could be predicted but the remaining are mystery. Jiro just done his best to be an aeronautical engineer, but destiny brought him to be an actor of a story. Life is full of mystery, hence it allows surprises come along with :)
By the way, sorry for the late post and i won't tell you any such excuses for this :)

A little thing about expectation
Many things happened during this time yet i dont really remember what they are :p
Saturday, January 4, 2014
Work at Home.
Kalau menurut saya, bukannya tidak mungkin sih ide tersebut direalisasikan. Tapi, tentu saja pasti ada kendalanya, baik itu dari segi teknis maupun etika. Biasanya, kegiatan-kegiatan di kantor itu sudah terorganisasi dan terjadwal, tapi bukan tidak mungkin akan ada saja event atau meeting dadakan dengan atasan atau klien. Contoh kendala lainnya mungkin ketika koneksi yang kita butuhkan untuk mengakses segala keperluan untuk mengambil data di server atau komunikasi sedang tidak beres, tentu akan sangat ribet kalau kita tidak berada di satu tempat yang sama. Yang mungkin paling esensial justru adalah feel yang terbangun ketika berdiskusi secara langsung dan tidak langsung tentu akan berbeda. Dengan berkomunikasi secara langsung, seseorang dapat lebih memastikan apakah lawan bicaranya dapat menangkap hal yang disampaikan secara baik atau tidak, bila dibandingkan komunikasi lewat e-mail, instant messenger, atau telepon. Kendala lainnya mungkin berkaitan dengan kebijakan perusahaan yang tidak mengizinkan karyawannya membawa pulang dokumen perusahaan yang sifatnya confidential, sehingga mau tidak mau kita harus mengerjakan pekerjaan kita di rumah.
Ya, memang akan agak repot sih merealisasikan "mimpi" saya tersebut kalau melihat kendala-kendala apa saja yang mungkin muncul. Makanya, saya belum pernah mendengar ada kantor yang memiliki aturan seperti itu. Meskipun dari pengalaman yang saya alami ketika bekerja di rumah, tidak terlalu ada masalah berarti. Tapi, mungkin juga karena masa bekerja di rumah yang saya alami waktu itu bukan dalam jangka waktu yang panjang, jadi masih bisa ditangani.
Gara-gara tweet salah satu teman saya malam ini, saya jadi menyadari sesuatu. Sebenarnya kita punya hak untuk bekerja di rumah, paling tidak sehari atau dua hari dalam sebulan, yaitu cuti haid/menstruasi. Mungkin banyak yang tidak familiar dengan cuti ini karena tidak terlalu disosialisasikan atau bahkan tidak diterapkan dalam kebijakan seluruh kantor.
| Pasal 81 UU No. 13/2013 tentang Ketenagakerjaan (link) |
Kalau di kantor saya, cuti haid ini memang sepertinya tidak terlalu disosialisasikan dan tidak bisa disebut cuti juga karena biasanya karyawan yang tidak masuk karena haid hari pertama/kedua, tetap dihimbau untuk bekerja di rumah. Hal ini masih bisa ditoleransi karena jangka waktunya tidak terlalu lama.
Jadi, kesimpulannya kita memang harus memilih. Ada pekerjaan yang memang tidak memungkinkan kita untuk menyelesaikan tugas di rumah sepanjang waktu, tapi ada juga sebenarnya pekerjaan yang memungkinkan kita untuk stay di rumah, namun tetap dapat menghasilkan uang. Contoh simple-nya aja dengan membuka bisnis-bisnis online, atau bekerja sebagai seorang freelancer, atau bahkan membuka usaha sendiri yang memungkinkan kita untuk mengatur segalanya dari meja kerja kita di rumah.
Kalau saya sendiri sih bila sudah berkeluarga nanti, inginnya melakukan seperti pilihan yang kedua. Tetap bisa menghabiskan lebih banyak waktu di rumah (mengurus kebutuhan keluarga), tapi juga ingin memiliki pendapatan dengan melakukan pekerjaan yang disukai. Pilihannya banyak, saya yakin. Tinggal bagaimana kita mengaturnya saja untuk bisa mencapai tujuan itu #asik. Sotoy pisan sih saya... Kayak sudah pernah menjalani saja, ya. Namanya juga kepinginan, memacu diri sendiri boleh, kan :D Meskipun begitu, saya menyadari tetap perlu ada perencanaan yang matang sih untuk mewujudkan keinginan ini.
Data dari BPS menunjukkan jumlah wanita pekerja di Indonesia pada tahun 2011 mencapai 48,440 juta, meningkat dari tahun sebelumnya 47,24 juta padahal tahun 2009 baru 46,68 juta orang. (the-marketeers.com)Semakin banyaknya jumlah perempuan yang bekerja saat ini, tentu ada faktor yang memicunya. Untuk ibu yang memutuskan untuk mengambil peran ganda, mungkin salah satu faktornya adalah membantu finansial keluarga. Menurut Bower (2001) dalam Reynolds, et al. (2003), selain faktor ekonomi, partisipasi para ibu di lapangan kerja juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor sosial, politik dan demografi. Ada juga kan yang bekerja demi untuk memenuhi gaya hidup, mengejar karir, adanya keinginan untuk mandiri, atau ada tuntutan dari luar yang membuat para perempuan terutama ibu memilih untuk bekerja juga.
Dari topik bekerja di rumah sampai ke rencana masa depan, hmmm... Nah, meskipun diantara kita mungkin baru beberapa tahun lagi masuk dunia kerja atau berkeluarga, kira-kira apa rencana kamu dalam hal pekerjaan nanti? Semoga tidak menjadi galau masa depan. Tapi, lebih baik galau sekarang kan daripada nanti :p
Have a nice weekend,
Sawitri Wening
