today, well today was yet another working day. i could seriously get used to working at a company. its quite a relief trying to spend all your time and energy on something that doesnt need much thinking. (as in thinking about other stuff. just abt the work that you are doing.) i can see why people actually work so late into the night now. either running away from problems - to escape and numb the pain with the enormous work load, and to use work as an excuse, as a distraction. its not bad either, to drown yourself with a more-than-you-can-handle load of work. better than ending your life and better than facing the problems that you have. and getting paid while you're at it too. haha.
of course, not that i have any problems. but working has just made me see stuff. haha. and that the working world isnt as easy as you think. there's lots of stuff to be done. late nights. loads of caffeine boosters. no time for family or friends, and unhappy clients. a 9-5 work job really sucks up your time. and all you want to do after working so hard is just find a bed and curl up in it and go to sleep in comfort. hmm. sounds so good.
ah well. today was a joke. was given the task of downloading a whole list of annual reports (see
this) there must be at least 500. gosh! and like me and chris thought we had to dl the WHOLE thing by the end of today cos the guy said to finish it before we leave (we thought leave meaning
end of the day before we go home), and we were SO worried we couldnt finish (i mean, by 4.30 we were still at
c and
s! - he started from the top, while i started from the back).. and the punch line was that the guy meant finish it before we leave
the company. OMG. by the time we left the company, it was abt 6.50.. we cabbed back in the end.. woah. this was so stupid lah! haha. all i did today was stare at a screen. and clicked the mouse a gazillion times. you would think that by the time i get home i would stop using the laptop. but nahh. i think i'll continue downloading the ARs. haha. maybe i'll finish this whole thing by tmr. then we can get back to watching movies! haha.
the ARs beckon. i shall go entertain them.
work is crazy by the way. but fun all the same (:
have you heard of the one called saviour?
a shout of praise.
