29 AUGUST 2008 (FRIDAY)

I thought this post would be a start of something new in this blog. I will give a brief (this is rather subjective) account of my day. I got inspired by a conversation from SEINFELD.
--------
Seinfeld: So what will the show be about?
George: Nothing.
-------

1. got up at 6am. was sleepy because I slept at 2310 the night before.
2. i thought to myself "I do not feel like going to work, so many things to do."
3. went to work anyway.
4. went to buy 2 curry buns for breakfast. i discovered a new delightful snack. savory, a little sweet, and a tad spicy. it went down well with a cup of tea.
5. went for meetings after meetings. and a few more meetings after those meetings.
   
6. had a quick chat with my staff. tried hard to convince them (yes them) to remain with the project. had a thought "why do the good ones always leave, leaving behind the ... jerks. gave my proposition to them. will hear their decision soon.
7. was told i had to come in on the weekends.
   
8. nothing constructive will be done, have to prepare a meeting room to wow some folks come Monday morning.
   
9. I feel that i've been bitching too much lately. not that i have been vocal to people, more like i have been bitching to myself, internally, grumbling.
   
10. made a decision not to buy too many comics. i have so many comic books i have yet to complete reading. i will not buy any new titles until i have enjoyed reading the ones i have with me.
    
11. had a quick lunch. rice with bittergourd, stingray, fishcake and tofu. drank some tea.
12. decided that i will only attend meetings that are actually useful. most of them are a waste of time. talk talk talk no action.
    
13. i was arrowed to write an article regarding the project i was actively involved in. that suck big time. simply means i have to come up with heaps of self praise. and those people at corporate section pretty much wants it all nice and squared up. i thought, if i am doing all the PR stuff then what the hell are you hired for.
14. i keep telling my peers, manager and bosses, if you are in a position, please remind other divisions that we are the revenue earners for this company. all the rest of them are to SUPPORT this revenue churning division, not to add additional bloody unnecessary workload.
15. yes i am stressed.
    
16. so now i give up trying to justify anything. i just prioritize my work accordingly. if it does not meet the deadline, the whole world knows why and i won't give a damn. as long i give it my 100%, i will leave my stress behind the moment i step out of the office. i do not owe the company anything.
    
17. i actually sneaked out of the office this evening to go home.
    
18. anyways. i have accepted that this is just the way it is with work. i just feel my entire life must not be fully centered on work. life is so much more than work. although it does take a lot of your time. i guess that's why advise is constantly given to the tune of "find work that does not feel like work" or more often put as "passion" . whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatever
19. i resisted buying many purchases. like DVDs and CDs and comics. i am in saving mode. i am now asking myself constantly, do i need it? how badly do i want it? do i really have to have it? is it really that good?
    
20. i am tired. it is 2317hrs.
    
21. sleep.
    
22. one final thought. i like prime numbers.
    
23. sleep
24. one final final thought. yawn... i forgot what it was.
