Work work Work work Work work

Since a week before 30th April till now, I've try to cram work, rest, play and social in a very fast and tight pace.

First I've got an instruction to create a small micro site in a week. I work extra hour each day. But it is not enough. I sacrifice Saturday and Sunday.

Of course, I'm still a novice. There will be still some error popping up here and there when they try to upload my site on the system. My office mates try to call me after 12 midnight. In my usual habit, I scold the caller first if anyone, anyone at all who disturb my sleep. But this time, I make a promise that I'll keep my phone on, just so I can go home to finish my dinner and to sleep on my bed. So I try my very best to switch on my "work" brain to translate what problem had occur. Luckily, someone else had manage solve it.

Then another micro site project come. This time I had my fellow office mates to back me up. Or else I will never make it at all. This time is serious. Daily basis, 8am to 10pm. Nearly drive me crazy. My phone drive me crazy. It rang almost as soon as I put it down. Change of this, change of that. This one not confirm. That one not ready. But still my dateline is fixed. But then, still I insist of having life out of this crazy period. During public holiday, I hang out with my friend instead of burying myself with endless work. However, I'm not a mentally strong kind of person. I'm not 100% with them. I thought of my unfinished work. Will I able to finish on time?

After strictly over eating at the sushi buffet (Of course, I enjoyed good food even under stress). I drag hana-chan to my office to complete some assignments. I glad to see hana-chan exploring my office toys and table deco.

Then it is back to work again. 8am - 10.30pm. With not just one project. A few project overlapped each other. I began to behave oddly. When I locked the office door, I absent-mindedly tapped the door tag on the sensor as if I want to get into the office again. I have temporary short term memory. I forgot my office mates names, even the one that whom indirectly offend me. Mind, I'm a person who "menyimpan dendam". I won't forget the person who make me turn on my angry mood. Strangely, I forgot that fella name! Oh my god! Then later I place my door tag at strange places till I have problem finding it.

Then I bring the work during my trip to Malacca with my family. I could not work much as I having mild fever. The only good thing about my fever is I don't feel the heat that much. I wore the jacket, that I used to protect myself from freezing at the 16 degree Celsius environment, under the hot day light. People must thinking that I'm crazy. Well, it is quite a fresh experience to do some work at the hotel. Quite luxurious commented my father. Sorry, dad. This will be the last time I bring my work for vacation. As for the Malacca trip, I spent 80% of the time at the hotel.

The worst thing is I started to make mistakes. Almost every project on hand, mistakes keep on popping up ( like mushroom after the rain?). It gave me trouble plus a life time lesson.

For now, I very exhausted. I dozed off at the office. Even my computer ran amok. It go on "hang" mode every now and then. Frankly, I like my computer having "hang" mode sometimes. When it hang in the morning, I got time to take a couple of sips of my hot milo. Mind you, my work load is biting off bits of my breakfast, lunch and dinner time. I've been spotted having lunch with the computer which lasted almost an hour. My lunch is nearly stone cold when I remember that I have not finish it. Similar case happened to my "hot" milo too.

But then, not to worry. All this will be over (I'm saying that to myself). Everything has its own ending, good things or bad things. Of course, bad things have to end fast, the sooner the better. :D

I'm waiting for the rainbow after the storm.



Lesson 1: No buffet during stress period.


Lesson 2: No work during vacation
