Meh X Officially Hired: From One Job to Another

it has been a crazy weekend

well not to mention

the weekdays which were

equally challenging

*

so on Friday evening

was ready to welcome the weekend

with that TGIF! mood

not because it was really over

but i can at least

concentrate on clearing my deadlines

one at a time during

Saturday and Sunday

*

it has been awhile

since i work for both

Saturday and Sunday as

i prefer to have a full rest-day

*

but this week i couldn’t

apparently due to workload

*

there came Saturday morning

I woke up from bed

trying to procrastinate

so that i wouldn’t feel

too miserable about working

*

then i got an urgent SOS call

for some data entry and documentation

somewhere 200km away

*

damn

so my weekend work schedule

was all gone down the drain

spent some time travelling there

getting “onboard” training

and left the office i was

totally not familiar with after 8PM

*

since it was quite late

forced to spend a night out of town

reaching our place at 10 PM

*

so i quickly settled and started work

the work i was supposed to be doing

during the day

until almost 2AM

*

it was hard to fall asleep

too tired to open my eyes

yet my mind was turning

deadlines deadlines deadlines

*

so i got up at 4:30 AM to continue

fell back to sleep around 6 AM

then resumed after an hour

all the way until past 5 PM

*

but it felt like

a great achievement unlocked

as i managed to complete

6 hours ahead of my deadline

in spite of the urgent task

that cut queue half way

*

got my dinner settled

more travelling to do

another 200 km

not back home but

somewhere more convenient

for the others

*

and spent another 1.5 hours

clearing deadlines for tomorrow

and more work has landed

in my inbox

*

and i was told that

i might have to take up

this documentation task

as a part time job during weekend

on a bi-weekly or monthly basis

*

gees

that could mean that soon

my full time job on weekdays

is a home-based freelancer yet

my part time job on weekend

is a location-bounded office girl

*

well

no comment for now

but goodness

how did i even survive yesterday

well i have came a long way

in juggling deadlines, travel and more

*

but.. sadly

i just got my sleep timing

readjusted over the week

by sleeping by 11 PM

now it has been messed up again

it seems

*

in the middle of rushing

i grabbed these from home

and finally went for

two tea bags of peppermint tea

before i started burning the oil

as it says “clarity”

what i needed the most

at that hour

my drugs

*

and i haven never relied on

energy drink all my life

this is my very first

drank it at 7 AM

but i am not sure about

how effective it was

*

as it was soon followed by

another two tea bags of

black tea and

jasmine green tea

before and during breakfast

*

before the week ends

good night all

i am a light sleeper

at other places

other than my own bed

with the exception of hotels

who knows why

*

i guess that’s a trait of

an anti-socialist

it’s not about the bed

it’s about the people

*
