Daisy and Donald

So this Jan, I worked 2 shifts a day - 830am to 530pm. and 530pm - 1/2am (weekdays), 7 days a week..

All so cos of the reporting deadlines in January. Most of which have been missed cos there were not enough support staff around and i seconded my asst to my holding co for 2 days. The next 2 days she was supposed to work for me, she took TWO bloody days of MC. that's the attitude of the assistants nowadays.... sigh... the manager who saw tt girl the day before her MC was skeptical about her being sick too..

so wells... what has been delayed, gets further delayed cos the poor busy senior has shit piling up from everywhere and has been working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week to try to clear the historical mess and the future shit...

luckily i still have an assistant fren in office!!! Hey girl!! i think i support your decision abt being A11 fr 20 yrs! then i can safely stay on knowing tt i ll have one RELIABLE support staff!!

anyways, i ve been feeling blessed these days :)

feel blessed for having a 'cave' of supportive seniors, for having a sweet manager who makes her midnight rounds to our 'cave' to instill encouragement, for having a neighbor who works as hard as I do (and therefore makes staying in office lesss painful and lonely), for having a sweet asst friend who offers her help (although she talks more than she works..), for having a cabful of hougang-ers to share cab with me every wee hours of the night, for having an understanding D who spent quite a lot of lonely nights after work lately and accomodating to my busy schedule...

Just today, we went to morning svc and had a warm and BIGGG breakfast to kick start the day before I went to office to mug... the svc was looooong postponed since my peak started and both of us needed some spiritual support... the bf did great to set the day of hard work... so being whiny about having to work WHOLE week and on SUNDAYS.... I begged to be given a 1/2 hour shopping time... and so... hey presto... a stressed girl is a RICH girl! I bought my CROCS (even tho i have always thought tt it ex for its standard and it was 'verrry pretty meh'?? i cant say its ugly cos i own a pair now..haha!). and i even bought a daisy duckie to pin onto the hole... forced a donald onto his too :)

so now we have a couple-ly pair of CROCS!! :) :) i was on smileys the whole day @ wrk...

a happy girl is a hardworking girl again :)

forced myself to end @ 7pm and met the D for dinner again... and for my round 2 speed shopping... managed to get a dress and went home for the night :)

so the happy girl is now at her lappy, trying to continue working as much as she can before the new week starts...

I received this quote of the day last week:
"You can't always do what you love, but you can love what you do." It's a simple message from a book FISH by Stephen C Lundin, Harry Paul and John Christensen.

Right now, as I am working, I dun feel like I am working anymore... i kinda enjoy it :) although the stress is still there... i am actually enjoying the reads of the overseas reports.. HA! crazy! but I sure am enjoying my time now :) :)

Hope to have a doggie @ the end of peak :)

Work.Made less painful

The ONE who made the pain less painful....

on one of the recent saturdays @ luncheon in Shenton Way...

We saw a doggie @ level 2 of the Amoy hawker :) so I couldn't contain my affection for the little one and went to pet him :) and you can see the difference between the one who loves dogs and the one who fears dogs? ;p

So anyway, THANK YOU VERRRRY MUCH dear girl.. for offering your help. It's been hard trying to find staff support these days due to the peak period and for those who are available and unassigned in office, they are either with attitude or intellect problems.. thats why they are hanging around in office... noone wants to book them :( suay me got real unlucky this jan.. sigh....

Thanks for your time both satsss :) it made the pain more bearable :)

Soon, Jan's gonna be over :)

meaningful...

in cantonese:
"wan yao xi, foon yao xi, fai lok yao xi, bei shuang yao xi"

it means set aside time for play, set aside time for laughter and happiness, set aside time for unhappiness..

How meaningful... it literally means tt in a day...

u set aside time for work and mugging, set aside time for slacking ;p so here i am... at my slacking time... dun get the wrong idea! it is my lunchie and i tabao-ed to clients place.. despite the tight schedule.. i ve decided to dedicate half an hour to my cai fan and this entry :)

was glued to the TV whole of sat from 2pm - 2am watching the HK drama serial from which i learned the above from :) escaped reality for the whole of sat, living in the world of lawyers, lawsuits, fighting for family assets and saxaphone playing..

Sun was when reality hit... mugged like nobody's business... luckily i hav diz staying verrry near me :) if not, i wld hav had to go back to office *shudders*

work is getting hectic... been thinking if my final decision was right... i m living comfortably from the income now no doubt... but it has taken away alot of my time..

time with dear ones and time for myself.

Just this week ALONE, i missed/am gona miss
1) a meetup w W and XL
2) Cousin's baby one month chalet
3) N's mummy's bdae dinner

I feel sooo bad for not being able to turn up at these kinda important events... and not being able to spend as much time with baby as i would like to...

but well... since i have decided..

Goodbye world.. and cya when i come out of my hermit shell. probably in march. :(

things will turn to a lighter note soon....*pray*

to the frens out there who ve left this field... i m sure u r feeling blessed now :)


cya all in Mar and after :)

so the quote above is still holds true.. :)

tataz and back to work..

You are seeing this because I AM SOOOOO bloooooody MAD, as i sit typing and working FURIOUSLY, at this bloody stupid assistant to whom i associate nasi briyani with, who yet again performed ridiculously BEEEELOOOOOW average.

And I cant help but associate the word STUUUUUUPID to this nasi briyani assistant and dee dar has thus tried to stop me from makaning the white round thing tt i normally add curry and sugar on this morning.

I show u a timeline of how my conclusion of her stupidity evolved...

LAST year when she was at her 1st yr, and me 2nd, she performed super duperly under expectations. I had to kio her sai on top of my own sai. But since it was her 1st yr, nvm...i forgive and forget. Although she almost KILLED my then-senior

This year, since i am such a magnanimous being, I decided to book her back to work for me... BUT i was WRONG. reality hit me the HARD way (which is y i am soooooo f****ing busy now). Now i conclude, Ms associated with Nasi Briyani is baorn n bred idiot.

She performed as STOOOPIDLY as she had when she was a yr one. I think she has peas in her brains. cos normally ppl DO GROW up and learn the traits of WORKING. WE grow smarter. No the other way.

2 months ago, she tooook one BLOOODY week to do one company (last yr i did 5 companiesssssssss in ONE week). So after taking ONE WHOLE WEEK, she DID NOT FINISH her work. And on her LAST day of work (she STILL HADNT finish), she suddenly looooked soooo much in pain and complained tt she s been seeing a gynae lately. So, what can a magnanimous snr like me do except to let her go c her gynae? Although she probably just had too much sex the night before.

And so she left. And sent me back ALL THE OUTSTANDING WORK NOT DONE.

so it s not juz pea in her brains. i think she is juz PLAIN stupid and with a super bad attitude.

This week, she suddenly had DIARRHOEA during the beginning of the week and was very apologetic cos she knew of the tight deadline but mentioned tt this was beyond her control.. i mean..what else can i say right?

Then I pointed out her mistake in one of the companies. She managed to rectify it. But now, when i was JUST reviewing the same thing she did for another company. i realised that she MADE THE SAME STUPID mistake. Who s gg to kio the sai now? Me lor...

Why can she learn? I knew NOT to make tt mistake when i was in YEAR ONE. HELLLLLOOO????!!! Ni shi ZHU ma?

and today...last day of her work at this company. She took the trouble to wake up at 430AM in the morning to tell me tt her Grandma had "A verrry TERRIBLE heart attack". and she actually bothered to open her lappy to send me back ALL THE WRK not done. TERRIBLE heart attack huh. i think she is jus plain lazy n stupid n just doesn want to wrk. F***

Now i have 1 milllllion things to do. my sai and her sai. and i am TERRIBLY PISSED.
