Not long to go!

No.....this isn't another post about me whingeing about work. My sister and her kids will be visiting again in May/June! I can't wait!! Even my brother in law is taking time off to come back for a visit. I only got to see him briefly when I stopped over during my Turkey/Greece trip. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE KIDS! And I know I'm going to sound like a biased aunty.....but I miss my niece so much!! Well she is the only girl! But not just that, I love having conversations with her. Just the adult to kiddie talk, but actual conversations. She loves reasoning with me. You can't tell her what to do just cos you say so. You need to justify your reasons, and if she's happy with your logic behind it all, she'll do whatever you say. AheAHEah I've never seen a kid as smart as her! I remember at the age of 1.5-2 years, I asked her what shape was the moon. Obvious answer that most kids would say? "Circle". My neice? "That is a crescent moon!" AheAHea

On another note......I skipped the evenin session of box last saturday, and because of work, I missed the wednesday class as well. Last night I got told by my instructor that my form went out the window! I didn't realise missing one week would throw my fitness and form totally out the window. >_< I was thinking I was going to do better since the morning class got cancelled so I reserved all my energy for her class, but I actually perform much better when I do the morning box class and then the evening box class! Anyway...since I was under performing...I got punched in the gut. Multiple times. With her bare fist......It was her way of telling me to lock my abs. See.....we were doing legups, and she would come over and swipe my legs down, and everytime she swiped my legs down, she would punch me in the gut. Like what the!? The moral of the story? Stop slacking off at the gym...

The end of a week

It's been a VERY long week.....I racked up quite a few 11hr days without any breaks. Coffee for breakfast, lunch at my desk which takes me hours to eat and late nights where I would always be the last person to go home. We moved desks this week and I am now sitting around total strangers. People that I have met for about a week. Tonight, as people one by one left to go out/go home, I had multiple people walk up to my desk and say to me "Do you ever go home!?". And these are people I have not talked to before.

Apparently I have beaten the person who always stays back the latest. Even she came up to me and told me to go home.....I guess she didn't like her "hard worker" title compromised. Not that I didn't want to go home. Its a freakin friday FFS.......I just had so much work to do. And when you are in that frame of mind, sometimes its easier to just keep going rather than leave it for another day. Not that I would have less work next week cos I stayed back every day this week......just that I would get to do more work earlier.

I don't mind the long hours...its not the long hours that are killing me. Its the stress that comes along with every hour I work. I am trying to please our client whilst knowing shit will hit the fan within our company and there is nothing I can do. I've done all I could to try and avoid this for the past 2 months......but if *they* don't give a shit......theres nothing I can do. Yet I still stress and I still worry. And when things come crashing down around me, I still blame myself. I gotta start teaching myself to detach. *SigH* Only another 3 weeks......then it would all be over!!! *fingers crossed* I hope this weekend never ends.....

On another note, because of the long hours I've been doing the past few weeks, I think I dropped a few kilos. I guess if thats what it takes......

Oh, I also won a $50 gift voucher from work for being a "valued" employee or some shit like that. For all the long hours and the crap I go through......a $50 voucher is better than nothing. Mey also got one as well! *pat pat Mey's back* Good work girl! And thanks for putting up with my crap! Happy Birthday as well!

Working hard.....

Wow.....my newest record. Working from 8:30am-10pm without a break. Thats 13.5hrs. I think...my overworked brain reckons thats about right. I would spend some more time calculating it, but I think I should go to bed soon since I've got to go to work earlier than usual tomorrow. Refer to my previous post.....

Apologies in advance

I thought I would give everyone a warning, and I guess apologise to anyone in advance. For the next month, you will probably see me turn into the grouchiest of all bitches. I'm most probably going to be snappy and not going to take any bullshit from anyone. I may not be talkative, and most probably quite antisocial unless alcohol is involved. You could be saying something nice to me, but the chances are I will take it completely wrong and bite your head off. For the next month, I will be the dragon lady from hell. Why? Lets just say I am expecting a VERY stressful period coming up at work. Those of you who remember the last time I did similar work, for the same client will know how I become. So.......I apologise in advance. For those of you who will probably get highly offended if I suddenly called you a self-centred, arrogant SOB (and you're really not), then I will see you some time in May. Until then...peace out.
