Things doesn't seem to go too well for me today. I have been sluggish for the past 2 weeks. I was literally wasting my time away in the office (ops!) because all projects have been completed and pending for new ones to come in. Just as I thought I could again slack my way through the day, came in a project that need immediate execution. What the heck! Got to get my butt of my comfy zone and start all the necessary preparations (oh, I hate paperwork, totally mundane).
I spent the whole morning filling up forms, getting all the information that I needed etc. It took me almost half a day to do all the setups, to double-check the procedures so as not to make mistakes. Happily, trying to link up everything, only to find out that there is some bug in the software. Wasted another 30-45mins to debug and rectify the problem.
Finally can take a breather, in came another job request. Again, started the cycle of mundane tasks. Isn't it irony that when I am free, I am really FREE (no requests, no projects) but when I am already piled up with work, more requests just popped up from nowhere. Like some sales, everyone just crowded to that particular store whose stuff are going at 70%. Wanting to attract more consumers, they might just slapped in free gifts for the 1st 100 customers, the more the merrier they thought. But hey, I am not having any SALE down here and I need a break in between two heavy, urgently-needed-to meet-deadlines projects.
I also found out something. Yes, always when things start getting heavy and overloaded, this colleague of mine just disappeared with a MC. Maybe next time, I should forecast my MC as well.
The more impatient I am, the more the work cannot be accomplished. Murphy Law's. Urghh.
Got to stop all these whinning and get back to SERIOUS work. Can't wait for the day to be over.
