Tired, Hungry, Down and Blogging
19 03 2007It’s 9:30PM now and I know I should get going, to go back to wife, baby, dinner and some rest, but I’d just leave some leaving thoughts.
It’s a bad start to a long week. Press conference on Wednesday, event launch on Saturday, and then the event proper for the 9 days thereafter. In between, it’s preparing for these events, arranging and meeting with the media for interviews and making sure they all happen. And it all didn’t begin too well.
Got “buah” early this morning. Then got “buah” again at noon. The 2pm meeting with client was a long and tiring affair, not because it was boring or going nowhere, but because every minute meant more work, more things to follow up, more things to do… I felt like just walking out of the meeting and going home to sleep!
But that should not be. In the process, I recognize that I am being moulded to be a better worker, to take stress and the generous servings of “butter” once in a while.
My only wish is that I learn and not make the same mistakes again and again. My wish is also that all these will end soon. Indeed, when the event draws to a close, my office will be shifting to a shophouse down the road, and it will be payday!
I hate to admit it, but I’m living my life looking forward to the next paycheck right now. It doesn’t help that finances are running low already!
And I believe all will be well by then. At least I’ll get some time to BREATHE and hopefully take a day or two off to recover from the trauma. Well, I think the office move will be a good interlude to this whole madness. At least I can shift my focus to other more enjoyable things, like decorating my new workspace at the new office!
Can I say welcome to corporate life?
The worst experience I had is settling a nerve-wrecking project launch, then dinner entertainment with too much booze til 3am, followed by a conference meeting with US counterparts at 5am. I almost died.
Goodness… Corporate life indeed!
