2019/09/02: Time Flies, July

always have the tendency to procrastinate

wait i did write the post for June right

Yes, June’s Journey

*

July was a roller coaster month

but let’s cut it short because

well there’s Aug to write about

still

*

was supposed to attend

two music festivals in July

life’s good, huh

*

so i did attend the first one in Chiayi

Wake Up Festival

during first half of July

and spent the rest of the trip in

Kaohsiung working, alone

*

so everything went on at

normal pace until

a few days before the

2nd event

i secured this large volume task

which was so large that

i was sleepless for that night

*

suddenly realizing

i may not be able to make it

given the volume and

tight deadline

*

that was a Wednesday

if i am not mistaken

then for the next two days

on top of juggling this one

i  did receive other tasks

and was going at full speed

*

hey i may make it after all

given the fact that

i will still work in the hotel

after and before the event

*

it was on Friday

one day before that

i got overwhelmed by

more incoming tasks that

so.. it’s confirmed

*

no music festival for me

since i have already seen

two of the bandsthat i wanted to see

in Chiayi earlier on

so i guess it wasn’t wasted

even if i had to burn the ticket

*

i could have spent more on hotel

or taking the risk of missing deadlines

so i have got no choice

but to give up

*

but by pure luck

managed to sell the ticket

at discounted price to

the person offered to buy

in fact

knowing my situation

*

and thank goodness

i think i have made the right choice

even if i was working

day and night through the weekend

i was in serious doubt

if i could finish it on time

*

more so on Tuesday evening

due date was Thursday in fact

client suddenly asked for

earlier delivery by

Wednesday noon

with 10% extra upon nego

*

and i managed to finish

like on Wednesday morning

ahead of the new urgent deadline

*

I wouldn’t have got it done

if i did attend the  two-day event

not forgetting time spent on travelling

*

so…

not sure if it was a coincidence

or a pattern or trend

*

two years in a row

July topped the sales chart

with large volume task

which came in

in conjunction with live show

*

last year

about the same time

Caodong live in Tokyo

almost missed a task

because signal was poor

at the underground venue

but managed to secure it

and went full force

working on plane

*

i guess i have to be

real careful when it comes to

planning next year

but who knows

i got pre-sale ticket

back in February

and happily counting down

until the day before the event

*

so..

good grief

who knows
