Mengatasi Rasa Bosan Di Tempat Kerja

Hoaaaaaaam...

Belum berapa jam kita masuk kantor kok bawaannya pengen tidur aja ya? Udah berasa mati bosan sampe ngantuk-ngantuk. Nah, ini nih yang bikin kerja kita mundur, regress, dan produktivitas menurun. Banyak sekali, mungkin nggak hanya saya saja yang merasakannya. Terlepas kita bekerja di bidang apa, di kantor mana, anything, yang namanya semangat positif itu harus tetap dijaga, kalau bisa semakin ditingkatkan. Harus lah!!!

Nah, sedikit curhat aja gimana sih ngatasin rasa bosan ketika lagi kerja? Well, let's just...start!

What is boredom actually?
Boredom (kebosanan) sendiri sebenarnya adalah rasa jenuh yang muncul akibat kita yang sudah sangat terbiasa dengan pekerjaan dan lingkungan kerja. Jadi, nggak ada yang namanya bosan kalau kita masih dalam masa adaptasi atau malah nggak cocok dengan lingkungan kerja kita. Rasa antusias or curiousity pada hal-hal yang baru (like it or not) akan memacu kita untuk berpikir, menganalisa dan bertindak sehingga tanpa kita sadari kita menikmatinya. As the time goes by, however, rutinitas (yang berawal dari curiousity, then being repeated again in the same way) seperti itulah yang nantinya membuat kita stuck. Why? Karena kita sudah nyaman dengan pekerjaan dan lingkungan kerja dan akhirnya bosan deh. 

Okay, I'm bored. Then what?
Karena sudah menjadi rutinitas, pekerjaan bisa diselesaikan dengan lebih cepat. Tapi, ada orang-orang yang cenderung meremehkan pekerjaan dengan bersikap "Ya udah, nanti saja. Gampang kan." And it's no good, at all. Instead of working on the daily things (or maybe one two new things), we are so busy console ourselves or whatever it is to avoid boredom. It's no good. 

First thing first: Priority!
Kita masuk office, hal pertama yang harus kita prioritaskan adalah pekerjaan. I mean, selama kita bisa selesaikan pekerjaan secepat mungkin kenapa harus dilama-lamain hanya karena kita bosan dan kita sudah terbiasa dengan pekerjaan itu? Padahal, semakin cepat pekerjaan selesai, semakin banyak waktu yang bisa kita manfaatkan untuk hal-hal lain. Misal, belajar bahasa (enhancing our linguistic skills for better communication with clients), baca dokumen-dokumen, atau mungkin sekedar browsing di internet. Terserah. Intinya, kita selesaikan pekerjaan dulu, baru miscellaneous. Who knows, ketika kerjaan sudah selesai ternyata ada hal-hal yang missing, ato mungkin ada masalah lain yang tidak diduga-duga. kalau pekerjaan sudah selesai, we can allocate time to those things possible. Bayangkan saja, kalau kita keep being under boredom, leave the works undone, then suddenly the problems come. Hello? Anyone here???!!! I NEED HELP! You gotta get soooooo panic and messed up, everything. And most importantly, you waste the time. The things undone. Much more problem then.

So?
Banyak hal yang bisa kita explore di manapun kita berada, dan tempat kerja bukan pengecualian. Keep positive, itu pasti. Mungkin dengan banyaknya waktu luang di office, kita bisa belajar skill yang lain dan meningkatkan skill kita yang sudah ada. Make it fast and take the rest!

6 Gaga's Hottest Hits!

The 2013 Video Music Awards had just passed, but all the moments then stroke the world until today. How Miley's Twerking performance became a HUGE sensation that Oxford finally added the "twerk" into its latest. And, most importantly, the stars were just coming back, set to hit the stage! From Justin Timberlake and N'Sync reunion to the one-and-only lovely Mother Monster Lady Gaga.

Well, here I wanna take a flash recap of the 6 Gaga's hottest hits ever since her 2008 rise & shine until her latest's Applause previously performed in 2013 VMAs. Little Monsters, paws up!

6. Telephone (featuring Beyonce Knowles)

This is the most successful collaboration hit single EVER. This song led Gaga grab Moon-man in 2010, and it's not surprising then, I mean, with her 13 nods in Video Music Awards and the whole world apparently went Gaga! The epic long music video is just SICK!

5. You & I
This song is taken from Born This Way Album (2011). This song is about her love-life with her Nebraska guy.  The song is quite nice, with the Western-twist and the crazy Gaga's collision. iAnd the most striking of all is she appeared in the video as two different characters which (seemed like and it was confirmed) were her"self" and Joe Calderon, her "alter-ego." Just take a look at the pic. Who knows that the smoking macho man is Stefani Germanotta?

4. Just Dance
The song is the starting point Gaga hit the stage of pop culture. It was released in 2008 and became world-wide hit! This song was nominated for Best Dance Recording in 2009 Grammy Awards and all around the world people stated being Little Monsters.

3. Poker Face
This song won Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2010. The video offers the viewers hunks! Full of hunks! Seriously! With her iconic outfit and poses and choreography and dance and the beat and stuffs! You gotta love the song and the video, like a lot! This song also gave Gaga Moonman as the Best New Artist in 2009 VMA. Overall, this is a GOOD JOB!


2. Born This Way
Born this way is the warming-up hits taken from Born This Way Album. Release on February 2011, this song debut reached #1 in Billboard Hot 100 for the consecutive 6 weeks! This song won 2011 VMAs for Best Music Video With Message and Best Female Video. personally, I love this song so much as it was soooooo me. It was all about me! :)

1. Bad Romance
This song was like a sign of the climax of Gaga's domination. This took 2 Grammys in 2011 and led her to the historic 13 nominations in 2010 Video Music Awards. The music video's just futuristic! And classy! This proved how musicality with genius can result such a massive successful hits and positive influence to express freely without any judgement.

Elysium: The Future of the Earth

Let's skip the unrecommended sequel of The Percy Jackson. Let's fast forward to the year 2154 and jump high to the sky to Elysium. Yes, this movie is such a must-see one. At first time you see the first scene, you'll think that the movie is another manifestation of revolutionary idea we once found in District 9 the movie. Yup, this is from the director of District 9 and the movie's just like "Good job!". There's something more behind the idea of Elysium, but let's go to the story first.


Los Angeles, 2154 AD
The Earth is over populated and over polluted. The Tinseltown base becomes like a slump-chaotic-overpopulated city where the poor, pollution, radiation and strives collide. The rich people have moved to space where Elysium, a new exclusive environmentally habitat was built miles away above the Earth. Unlike the Earth, the Elysium offers human being ageless, curability-from-any-disease life. Thus, under the Secretary of Homeland Security Delacourt Rhodes (Jodie Foster), the Elysium puts a very exclusive strict immigration law regarding the man flow especially for those from the Earth. In the meantime though, Secretary Delacourt has a principle disputes with President Patel and she plans to knock him down and overtake the seat. She commands Carlyle, a billionaire and agent Kruger to smooth her plan.

Max de Costa (Matt Damon) who had work accident, has to strive and do whatever it takes to keep himself alive. The only way out of this issue is none other than going up, to Elysium, where there's a medicine capsule and he'll get back to life. He then goes to Spider, a cyber crime master who tries his best to hijack the Elysium system. Then, the deal is made up. Max trades with Spider for his ticket to Elysium, as he's only got less than 5 days to live. Spider wants him to "steal" the data from one of the Elysium's billionaire's brain and give it to him. And guess what's on Max mind? His boss, Carlyle. That's when the conflicts start...rolling.

They carry out the mission. They hijack Carlyle's capsule on his way up to Elysium, they steal the data, and they kill him. What a dangerous thing they've done. Knowing the Carlyle's death, Delacourt commands agent Kruger to hunt the killers. The fight between Max and Kruger is inevitable. The agent wants the data to reboot the system of in Elysium and smooth Delacourt's mission to take over the presidential seat. Max wants the data as it's the only way to get the ticket to Elysium. Spider wants the data as he wants to hijack the system so that everybody can go to Elysium. In the end of the story, I bet you'll get MOVED by as Max is doing something way beyond he EVEN EVER can imagines.

The issue behind the story:
Neill Blomkamp, who previously directed District 9, has done a good job for this movie. The social and political issue is rightly blended with the imaginary futuristic dream world. The exclusiveness of Elysium reminds us on the immigrant issue in the United States, particularly, and the West developed nations in a wider scope. We can see it in the character of Delacourt which is firm and strict in dealing with the immigrant issue for the shake of the state, and in the end, for the shake of the people. Migrant workers and other kinds of immigrants have become s serious problem in the developed countries as they have to maintain social stability (in avoiding any possible clash between immigrant and local citizens), meanwhile, the migrant workers offers the cheap labors for employers. That's what happens in the US nowadays, especially in the border states like California. It can be seen on how Neill depicts the 2154 Los Angeles which is fulled of Spanish-speaking (Hispanic) people. As we all know, most migrants coming to the US are from the neighboring countries, mostly Mexico. Elysium also represents how health care are so costly that some people cannot just afford their medical treatment. As, basically, people, regardless whoever they are, have the same right for health care. After all, this movie outstandingly delivers a quite story line and it's just off the hook!
