Work-High X More Deadlines: Hyper Night

it’s almost 3 in the morning

just submitted a task

a couple of minutes ago

 

not sure if I should take a “nap”

or move on to the next

somehow not sleepy

 

not sure which contributes to this more

firstly

I was drop-dead tired yesterday

having working until 2am

for the past few days

fell asleep at 8 pm yesterday

to wake up on a raining morning

a 12-hour sleep definitely do some good

 

secondly

the more you work

the less tired you are

and you can just keep going

 

as compared to my work-list on Wednesday night

Sudden Bend X Upward Trend: When September Ends: ….

yup.. some can be ticked off

hooray..

yet there are add-ons in

totally different volumes

 

and by the way, the task I have

labeled as Small-med volume

looked like it was a misjudgment

it took me 16 hours in total

 

my work list as of 3am/Sat/Oct, 03

	Industry	Due date	Volume	Progress
Press release	Housing	9am, Thu	Small	Done, waiting to be review
Survey	Devices	pm, Thu	Medium	Done, waiting to be review

Papers	NGO	Wed (thank goodness its EDT)	Large	Glance through…

 

and there is slight changed

in terms of earlier deadline

for one of the major projects

as client wants it urgently

oh my…

 

it was initially agreed as Monday

then client was asking if I can re-estimate 

I gave Sunday morning

 

who works on a Sunday morning?

yes I do.. always

 

and he was asking to push it to

Saturday afternoon

which is like pretty soon isn’t it?

no worries 

 

an absolutely packed weekend

and it goes on.. and on…

I am looking forward to work on the

NGO papers actually pretty soon

 

but first..

let’s clear whatever are pending

with more urgent deadlines 

 

happened to come across this article

before I started the post

at the middle of the night

when your mind is still working at

an incontrollable rate and

 

there’s nobody you can talk

that’s something to

give a pat on your shoulder

sounds creepy…. though

anyway

another new record has been achieved today

I have been working on my desk

all day long without

moving to the bed or floor

simply because the tasks require

loads of mouse until

I moved on to post

 

usually I move around a lot

or I work in bed the whole day

days away from the desk

 

finally settling comfortably at the corner

leaning on the window

laying my two feet comfortably

 

till then,

let’s get back to work

*starving and striving…*
