A stressful journey, and I am bound to walk every steps

From the beginning, I thought I will be celebrating this month.

The hatred I've been farming since the beginning of the year had finally come to an end.

Though the pressure has started to pilling up and my spine had been over stressed these days. I think I may not be able to handle more demands from my boss.

The days passed with tiredness and exhaustion.
I was late to work almost everyday. To be exact, since the day the hatred started. I promised myself to be a good example to my co-workers. But it was really a mess to wake up 1hour earlier to work.
Still I manage to make myself officially early to work...Well, punctual to work. Better than late right?

Then workload is getting more and more. As beside daily work like past, I am now responsible to review my co-workers' work. This almost KILL me. The reviewing of files are so dull and tiring. I can even see the figures flying all over the files. Darn! How I hate to review.

Next, planning. This sucks too! I am a control freak over my own schedule. My work always on time unless something comes up and mess up my schedule. But that is because the discipline that was thought by sifu and boss. But nowadays, the youngsters just has no discipline at all. We as senior has to remind them again and again for them to even get started! Not to mention finish! Darn!

Then, attending to boss higher demands. As my time almost used up by the above and yet I still need to attend his 24-7 high demand. We are like SWAT team. Ever ready for sudden appearance in a meeting which you don't even know whom u meeting with or what you will be discussion on. Yet, we have to pretend like Miss-Know-It-All so that we can call ourselves professional. Heck!

This is the most energy sucking and had been attacking my self esteem lately.
Due to the emergencies I had in previous years, I had been postponing my exams.
So whenever we are meeting with clients that are Professionals, they expect to talk to a professional. And I am not! Geez...How I hate those 'pigeon-eyes'!! I do not have enough time to do everything. Like reading the standards, newspapers, world economy related magazines, local and international market updates yet doing my daily work in one day in order to start a conversation with them. This is really tough. And it had been taking the toll out of my life!
Gosh....how I wish I not in such position...
Yeah I know, I sucks!
The pay and profile I soon to get is worth every second of hard work!

Of course pay can be higher >_<
But with my qualification and experience, I think I could not demand more at this moment.
So continue to strive for my professional exams.
Hopefully this time round, I am free from such emergencies I faced previous years. God, please have faith in me!

Luckily my working days only on weekday.
So, I still have weekend to retrieve the sleepless nights and exhaustion!
Basically the following illustrate how my working day start:

1. Wake up
2. Free the monster from his cage so that he could run like a mad cow around the house
3. Brush teeth + wash face
4. Drink water + refill water in tumbler
5. Bath and 'business'
6. Dress up + blow hair + make up
7. Drive to office
8. Breakfast @ office
9. On my laptop
10. Check email
11. Write down to do list for the day
12. Call client
13. Reply email
14. Review file
15. Lunch
16. Attend to boss demand
17. Lecturing staff
18. Preparing proposals and review files
19. Off work
20. Do my own files

So Sifu, really wor...
I can only do my own files after working hours.
Urgh....
Anyway, I try to squeeze everything in 8 working hours so that I can reach home early everyday. But that is impossible unless I postpone my work. Well, previously before promoted, I also try to work not later than working hours. And my excuse is I do not have office keys. So I need to pack and leave with the majority.
Out of the blue, I asked for office key from Mrs Boss that day. As I need to work quite late, and trying to repay my late to work for the past months. And without hesitation, she pass me the key. But before I say the key will be return the following day, she ask me to sign on to the log book. This proofs that the key is officially mine during my service period in this firm.
Well, nothing to be glad on. Cause you are expecting to open the door if no one is around in the morning. Which means, have to early to work rather than my usual practise = PUNCTUAL

Sigh.

Trying my best to get use to such life from now onwards.
But I just could not stop complaining..
I'm a woman..and woman complains!

P/S: Sigh. No longer address myself as girl ..Don't know why I feel old if use that word. I am really old. WOMAN!
