Plodding along...

Today is the first time I've ever wanted to cry when at work - ok ok so a few of you are thinking "no, thats not true"...so let me re-phrase...today is the first time I've ever wanted to cry when at work solely because of work...

Last week, I took study leave thanks to my crappy exam timetable...so as you can imagine, when I walked into my office on Wednesday afternoon (mind you - this was straight after my exam), the only thing I had to look forward to was a week's pile of work waiting for me...I decided to do all the "small & easy things" first because deleting stuff of your "to do" list gives you a sense of satisfaction...achievement...that "yes" feeling! So that was my great plan - until I hit a brick wall...

I started a task yesterday morning...it wasn't supposed to be big nor time-consuming...it was supposed to be "small & easy"...but little did I know that what I thought would take me a couple of hours max, would end up taking me almost 2 entire days...

And this afternoon, I had it...like really had it...I literally just wanted to stop working and cry (ok I don't know why but crying makes me feel better :) Anyway, I was so so frustrated...like frustratingly frustrated ...But its just so not cool to cry so I had to hold it in and plod along...plod plod plod...

Anyway, now its done...finally...I don't feel anything...not happy, not relieved, nothing, really...weird huh? I think I've "passed that stage"! Guess its just another thing off my "to do" list...and I'd better get back to plodding along!! More work awaits...DML!

and you are all done with the uni thing! i can't believe how it must feel to stand at the end of it all :) congrats on surviving it! i hope i can say the same back to you at the end of next year ;)

oh, and don't cry over work okay! :( understand how frustrating and irritating it can be, and how the stress can really buckle you in, but don't let them get to you ok? now that exams are over, let your mind take a good break, and enjoy plain good fun over the holi's :)

in the meantime, take out your frustration somewhere, especially by ranting at rogues in cars that don't know what a red light is :p classic.
