more than 2 weeks have passed
since i last blogged
and i am supposed to write his
during day 1 of 2018
*
anyway
have been lazing around
like nobody’s business
since mid December
*
like other than work
i take no interest in
anything else
good for me
*
but still
there are some happenings
but it’s either i feel that
there’s nothing blog-worthy
or i am too lazy to
*
not even the gifts
i prepared and received
during Christmas
*
so December
5-14 I was away
in Southern China
*
travel and work
of course
and waking up at 1 AM
on a Saturday morning
*
and damn
it was cold outside
so i made myself a warm
Knorr (no Campbell) soup
and turned on the TV
watched some opera
*
before i started work
all the way until
the sun rise
which happened to be
later than user
dreary.. erm that’s a new term
*
after all the month
turned out to be smooth
there was work
but not too much
*
except a couple of days
after i got home
received a task of moderate volume
during the trip and surprisingly
was given 10 days to complete
*
so i only started doing it
when i got home
since there were another 3 days
until the due date
*
one day after submission
got a shocking news that
the file was actually bigger than
what was being assigned
*
that kind of explained
why such a long deadline
was being given
*
so i actually have only
completed 1/4 of the entire project
and so was given 3 days
(after rounds of negotiation)
to complete the other 3/4
which was closed to 50k
*
well challenge accepted
and accomplished
i considered the thick cheque
an annual bonus for
my hard-working throughout the year
*
but of course
i slept through the week
having worked for
3 days and 3 nights
with minimum sleep
*
and finally there came the time to
total up the sales for the
month / quarter / year
*
bang!!!!
better than expected
partially thanks to
that particularly challenging project
*
well anyway
the happy moment didn’t last that long
the fear and uncertainty of
starting all over again from scratch
that was how my new year started
*
but anyway 20+ days have passed
so far it is not as bad after all
work volume has been stable so far
*
i am ambitious enough to
plan one trip for every month
but at the same time
cut down on shopping by setting
a 6-month no shopping pledge
*
