Tough grinding week ... I survived!


(A picture of my in office, on Thursday morning)

This week was a crazy week … a lot of rushing around, doing a lot of frantic things due to cock-ups that slipped through my fingers & came back to haunt me … so most of the time I was like … don’t wanna fight anymore … but come Friday, must be the climax … I just started to raise my voice in retaliation of all the unnecessary stress that banged at the doors of my brain. Had not lost my temper in a while, it was close, but I managed to only raise my voice.


But this was a momentous week … run a conference after a long time over Mon & Tue … then my head honcho bossed around for Wed (that’s another day gone) … Thursday was solving all operational issues … and Friday? That was all about screwing my broadband provider for getting back my internet & after a titanic struggle, I finally got it fixed. The problem is Maxis not living up to their promises & me being the prick I am, fired all the way to the department head for solution. Even though I had raised a stink all the way up, their operations still sucked & had to run through their bureaucracy to finally get someone to my office by 5:30pm. By then, I was quite cross since the delay was all unnecessary. So, all the way home, I just immersed myself in super loud music in my drive home & shouting & screaming all the way to let out all the stress and since it was jam for most of the way, seemed better than lying at the mercy of jams.

The rest of the week was challenging … from my MBA (since it’s a compact semester & crazy old me decided to go for finishing it by the end of this year instead of a leisurely stroll until April next year) … lots of jam on the road … and I did not have any chance to chat over MSN (yes I missed someone J)

Friday evening was quite a breeze actually … a short chat about home improvement, wish lists & quote of the day … “errr ... I didn't say I won't buy more than a mug for u” … my typical way with words, making dubious comments, with hints of non-compliance, but then again, not confirming disagreement. Too deep for you? It’s ok, today’s Saturday, so no need to think so much to understand me … chill …

Gotta rock this weekend with all I’ve got, it’s gonna be a rocking rollercoaster until August when my crazy semester ends.
