TGIF! Moreover, a public holiday! But after today, the next public holiday's like in August? Anyhow, let me just enjoy this long weekend first.
Life's been pretty crazy these days. What life anyway?! Nothing but work work work. Like what I saw on my colleague's Facebook status, she commented that she has no social life. That's what most of us have been lately. I've been eating lunch at like 5 or 6pm, leaving office at 9pm. Well, 8pm when I'm lucky. Lunch has become dinner, and dinner has become supper. My mum even asked me the other day, "Why are you so busy?" I could only sigh and tell her, "Too many things at work."
Indeed, there are too many things to be done at work. Things happening all at the same time, unfair work allocation, shortage of manpower, increased responsibility. And the list goes on. Just the other day, buddy broke down at work. We were the only two left in office at about 10pm. We usually wait for each other and go home together, but she mentioned that she's not done with work yet and that I can leave first if I want to. I was feeling damn tired that night too, so I decided to go off first. As we were talking, she got more frustrated with the stuffs she was working on and started crying.
I stood next to her silently, handed her a wad of tissue and left her alone for awhile as I went to the toilet. I came back and told her I'll wait for her and accompany her till she's done. We left at around 11pm that night. Work has been really tough on her and it pains me each time I see her getting so vexed and frustrated over work. I miss those happier days we used to have in the office, where we could chit-chat, bitch, gossip and joke freely. Sigh!
Anyhow, I'm off to shower now...meeting buddy for movie later this evening. Getting our mind off work for awhile, but actually half the time, we still talk about work. Haha!
