Do wires give good EM waves?


See that mess of wires on my work desk? That came together with the LCD monitor that was newly added, supposedly to ease the overly-squinted eyes. Yes. I should be thankful for the welfare, but somehow, I've got problem getting past having my desk in shambles because of wires. Makes me feel cluttered... one time, i thought I should be able to plot some smith graphs and find the relations those wired have with bad fungshui since some experts say that fungshui is the study of EM waves...


Of course, it's probably not right to blame the wires entirely. Lately, work volume has been balloning. Papers are scattered all over in the cube.... hate to admit it, but I do feel out of control sometimes.

Although I am working more than 12 hours daily, I am still holding up my spirit.

Okay, to be honest, there was a time when I felt really shot down. I was and am working the hours, that (I suspect) even my own boss is not working while he is waiting to unload more stuffs.

I was talking to an associate one day and he was surprised at the scope of work I was covering. While looking at the title on my business card, he tried to offer other variations of designation titles that might fit the scope of my work coverage... He also sneered a little in jest when receiving emails from me at unearthly hours.

Then, I wanted to be an escapist. Everything just did not seem to be working out well:
  • I do not see why I should be working until my eyes cried foul, tearless and dry, and the contact lens almost dislodge themselves.
  • I do not see why I should continue working when the PC battery had gone low and screaming in protest to work.
  • I do not see why I should be working too when it's the weekend and it's time to rest.
Well, things are still not working better at the moment. But let's just say I have got my thoughts ironed out. Being put in a challenging position has given me an experience that perhaps some will never have in their stable and defined 9-5 work routine. Instead of wallowing in self-pity and screaming "why?", I guess it helped to keep the spirit just a little higher. Well, afterall, it's good to have a little stretch sometimes. Wherever the limit, it's all in the mind. If I can get past that limit, I will be unfazed no matter what life throws at me thereafter. Things will surely get better... one day.... and it will.

Well, till that day comes, I'm just gotta do my best and gain whatever little experience that will add to build the bulwark of confidence.

To everyone out there who are feeling marginalised or demoralised by work, chins up! What can be too difficult? You may not see it, but there is a gain in all that you are going through... Perhaps, the wire clutter is emitting good EM waves and fungshui... hmmm....

CJ would beg to disagree... No EM waves are good.... Listen to the EMC engineer.

Negative thoughts generates negative ions, which in turn turns one uttterly negative.

No need an EMC engineer to figure that out.... keke...
