2025/12/31: November

Had a breakdown in mid November

didn’t expect that coming

but glad that it happened, somehow

*

Was working on a challenging task

being not really productive

having spent the whole morning on it

*

Then received an email with

an AI generated report

and additional instructions based on the report

*

Went through the report

SOS I can’t even fully understand the content

not to mention the instructions

*

So I replied with a request to quit the task

because I don’t think I am going to

get it right

*

The person said

will get back to me in one hour

while they discuss it further with the client

*

I guess this kind person

just want to give me some time to cool down

*

So what I did during the one hour break was

entering the amount spent during the sale period

not to my surprise

but someone has to foot the bill right

*

That was the kind of “kick in the butt” moment

decided to continue on

by starting from scratch

incorporating the additional (but reduced) instructions

and spending the next 3 days

completing this task

*

It was tough

but definitely fulfilling

having completed something

you thought you couldn’t have

*

coincidently the final bill from the task

happened to match the

total amount spent on shopping

*

Do I want to do it again in December?

no thanks

even though I would be glad to

earn extra income for festive spending
