I didn't sleep a wink last night. Maybe I was in between consciousness but in any case I was fully aware of the time ticking past and was checking my alarm clock by the hour.
WHY.
Refer to the previous entry. I can't believe I'm losing sleep over i*c.
In reality, I'm in denial and fleeing.
Flying off on Sunday but yet I feel no thrill. That shit is really killing my hols.

moodless
My precious one week leave is coming up soon but sadly I'm in no holiday mood. Not when there are 2 deadlines right smack in my face and these 2 deadlines are coincidentally (or unfortunately) during my leave. Okay yes, like seriously how fucked up can this get?
I won't be so concerned if there are people available to follow up as after all, this is a huge job with the whole world booked on it. BUT NO, everyone's busy as hell and no one is going to have the time to do the shitty subsequent event review for my 2 or rather 3 (unwillingly forced to adopt one) pathetic entities. And the stupid manager will just keep hounding people who are not booked on the job to complete it....I wonder what would be his reaction once he knows I'm going on leave, that is if he doesn't know by now already. I did mention to him before previously in an email. Maybe it didn't get drilled into his thick skull.
To be fair, my last week of march was X-ed out by the planner and of course I seized the opportunity to plan my toil there to enjoy a brief break. And I only got to knew the internal deadline on Friday. My holiday mood is totally evaporating now. People are going to point fingers at the girl who's taking leave on the week that the shit is finalising on the audit. Well in the first place, you guys only booked the pure brat to follow up.
Honestly, the pure brat has too many outstanding things on her hands to complete by next week (I'm even wondering if their so-called internal deadline is feasible. Expecting to see shit in my inbox when I return from Taipei.) I even feel bad now having to email the outstanding matters to her although I'm sure she is fully updated on the status of things. So who will be penalized in the end? I don't have to repeat that I wasn't booked on it and the pure brat is only one person. So can't blame her too, blame the manager. Blame the lousy staff allocation. Blame i*c.
I suspect also that the pure brat shifted the planning for these few shit entities to me in September. Well maybe I'll be out by then unless some miracle happens.
Enough of the shit above. I think I'm infatuated with se7en now, much as I don't like to admit cos he's like one year younger? ah sheesh. But I think he has such sexy lips and a good bod. He just started to grow on me towards the last few episodes of Goong S because the story only got better at the last few episodes. Okay well, no more Goong S, no Goong withdrawal symptoms like the first Goong...I need to get the se7olution album.

horrigible shit
All good things must come to an end.
The last proper entry was like almost two weeks ago so seeing that time has lapsed and I haven't blogged...I am treading on very thin ice now after the Monday that I was summoned to see the shipping shit manager after working hours. That is the problem when there are no seniors hovering above, I get a good taste of what it's like to be a tic. It's not just the backlog, it's the ownership and fuck it, I was only playing a supporting role seeing that this entity was assigned to the pure brat initially. I've become a slave to my email and somehow living in fear, having to check it at least twice a day (client's place no internet access) and holding my breath whenever there is a pop-up that announced that I've got new mail. All thanks to the shipping shit. Anything that relates to it can only spell more work and worse still, to see one liner such as "Call me now" from the manager.
Argh I don't know when I can shrug off this shipping shit and I'm going on leave in about 1.5 weeks' time. Currently I'm just extremely scared that I'll be booked back to clear the shit. I don't know if the upcoming counselling session (if there is one) works to get me outta this so at least maybe I can see a faint glimmer of my future here otherwise ...my retiring plans would be brought forward.
But to be fair, I think it's the people that counts. If I have a slightly nicer manager who knows his stuff and bugs lesser and the pure brat is actually someone who doesn't piss people off, maybe ... I won't mind that much. Yes and to be fair again, the shipping shit pales in comparison to the other shit I have gone through before (and didn't get outta alive for that matters).
*******************************************************
Enough of the above.
I attended a friend's wedding on Saturday, my first friend to get hitched since all weddings I attended in the past are relatives or friends of my parents. Well more to come... ;) Seeing my friend looking radiant and blissful in that gorgeous white gown made me wonder when would it be my turn to be up there walking down the aisle with my dad beside me. *shudder* I don't think that's going to happen in a million years' time, meaning never because I'm starting to believe not in this lifetime. I'll be happy with a dog as companion, trust me.
Haha, anyway happy for her.
******************************************************
Eeks it's only Monday.
edit: Okay so I got a sudden urge to do a revamp here and re-skinned my blog and settled this in 30 minutes, cool. And for the first time, it actually looks decent on firefox too. I hate ie btw...the new version absolutely sucks.

Tmd.
Tmd.
Haven't watched soccer for such a long time but decided to watch my beloved Pool against Manchester United last night and really tmd again, to have it all screwed up by that 92nd minute goal by substitute O'Shea. Liverpool had more chances, shots, corners than that idiotic 10 man Manu but sighhhh...
Bah.

tgif!
I find it a marvel that my laptop can repair itself overnight. Literally.
A few weeks ago, I encountered problems while trying to burn some files. The program would burn halfway then stall and I ended up wasting 2 discs. That wasn't the end...my comp started to hang and when I restarted it, the infamous blue screen greeted me. Usually I would just allow it to do the file check thingy till 100% and everything would be back to normal. But the blue screen got stuck at 0%. I restarted many times but the blue screen won't go away...actually there is a shortcut to this. Just press enter to prevent the file checking and it'll load onto desktop. Which was what I did. Something was wrong obviously as Windows couldn't load normally but I was too lazy (and poor) to bring the lappie down for repair. Then one fine day, I allowed the comp to run during the night (cos I was d/loading some stuff) and it downloaded some update thingy from microsoft, restarted itself and all these happened overnight and voila...no more blue screen after that, windows can load naturally and my burning program is working again! Good thing I didn't bring the lappy for repair...hehe. I must have been using outdated stuff. That probably caused the problems.
Enough of the techie talk...my week was good. As in I can go home on average 630pm everyday, the manager assigned me tasks to do but he never really cared about me after that. I was simply left to my own devices and kinda OTOT...lol...but of course good things have to come to an end. I am left on my own so therefore I'm not sure if I'm doing what he wants...hopefully. My good life is attributed to the fact that the client wasn't free to entertain our field visit. However, the client will be FREE come Tuesday and to my horror, the manager mentioned that he wants to review on Wednesday. I almost had a heart failure and then he told me it was to clear the 2005 outstanding matters. *Blink* I will die if I have to finish the entire 2006 audit in one day considering this is not exactly a small entity. But to follow up on 2005 stuff? Urgh. Oh well anyway...I should be grateful still for this week of rest. Another 23 days more!
