Instead of religiously working away now, I cannot believe that here I am blogging away, and in full view of the huge stack of stuffs which are waiting for me to go through!!!! But you know what, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN FOR IT ANYMORE!!!!! I've so utterly sick of feeling STRESSED, DEPRESSED, WORRIED, DEJECTED, CRAZY over my work schedules for the past few weeks, that I've decided THIS IS IT!!!! The idiot work will never stop coming in, and so there is absolutely no point of me going nuts over it since I am only 1 woman, running a 2-persons show.
This new job posting is driving me siao soon, and I know Ms. Prada is not having it easier also. Because of the lousy timing, Ms. Prada has gone over to her new position, while I can only officially go over to her place mid-Nov. So what resulted from that is Ms. Prada has already taken over all her new duties, and I'm still holding on to my projects in my old place, and AT THE SAME TIME, both of us are dividing the duties of my new job (and Ms. Prada's previous) together. 2 persons handling 3 jobs. Can kill one you know. Now when I go to work at my old place, I'm dealing with issues both from my current and new jobs, and I also have to make decisions which are related to my new position (but which sometimes, I absolutely have no idea what to do about it). My inbox has never seen such cramped days, cos emails from both sides kept coming in. Plus my new place have some events coming up in Nov and Dec, and there's no way I can start planning only when I officially go over. Which also means I'm kickstarting this planning stage right now, in the 'comfort' of my old office. So ironic isn't it? I've seen cases that when my friends change jobs, they can even enjoy a few days of rest after their last day at their old place, before starting on the new job. Me? I'm so busy, that now I'm really quite terrified of falling ill. I really have not time for that...no time to think of other stuffs except work. Whatever free time I have, like on the train, waiting for lifts, eating my packed lunches, and even during choir practices, I'm still thinking of work.

My new place had a rather big event yesterday, organised by Ms. Prada (her 2nd last project in her old job). I was asked to attend cos it would be my baby project next year. When I arrived and saw Ms. Prada yesterday, her eyes were bloodshot. So stressful can? She told me she couldn't sleep the previous night. But I guess she can hope for more relaxing days to come, since she only has one last project to clear, before she will totally 'wash her hands' off her old job and pass me the baton.

Am I scared over this seemingly tough job? Was I wrong to move there? Trust me, I myself am not sure. But no matter what, it cannot be denied that nothing beats having a friend as a predecessor in your new job. For the past 2 weeks, Ms. Prada had always patiently entertained all kinds of queries I put to her, and at all times of the day too. Whenever I thought of something to ask, I just call. Haha...like some 24 hrs hotline. I know I would have really owed it to her if at the end of the day, I can manage to take over her position without much glitches and mistakes. Must give her a treat someday! A GOOD TREAT!!!

And all I want right now, is for mid Nov to come quickly, so that I can finally release myself from my old job duties and give all my focus onto my new job. Ms. Prada must have also been feeling the same all this while. And I think all this stress is also the reason why my Big Auntie hasn't arrived still. SIGH. My only release from all this, is ironically, practising on my dizi on alternate days. The 1 hour I spend on the instrument is one of the rare momentsI can stop thinking about work totally. Because I cannot play properly if I do not concentrate 100% on the dizi...which is good! Never thought I'll say this man! Dizi is good for me! It keeps me sane! =)

But as Ms. Prada once remarked " People are watching the both of us, to see how we cope. So no matter what happens hor, 我们不可以垮 (right word to use?)!!" This has become our mantra liao....WE MUST BE STRONG!!
