Craziness...

Craziness is

Work. With folks here from Houston, our executive VP Todd visiting Taipei, plus endless meetings, I was working my butts off! Plus we needed to entertain the Houston team. That means eating lunches/dinners - such a waste of time! I was returning to work after dinner. Talk about sad.

Saturday.
I went out to BBQ dinner with the folks from work Friday night, got home late, started working on my weekly report and sent that out 4am Saturday! Slept till noon and then our year end party. Part 2, KTV after the dinner. Houston folks refuse to sing, we had to keep singing...

Sunday.
Now, I was beat. Sitting at mass, I felt like something the cat dragged in, probably looked it too. BUT, I was early at mass and a lector was missing (his wife gave birth Saturday). I was asked to stand in, sure I was game, except I looked a mess. Other lector didn't care, she hissed, come now!

Went to rock gym after mass, had to force my sorry ass up the wall. So tired. I didn't think I would be up to dinner, but I ate a whole hamburger - Bravo Burger was pretty darn good. And chatting with Garin/Vinny did put me in a better mood, enough to want dessert before going home to bed. http://blog.yam.com/EPaddiction/article/17199746

What a week.

Back in Taipei

The past few weeks have been pretty unsettling work-wise. Hopes dashed, plans on hold... I'm unsure what I want myself, not to mention surrendering it all to the good Lord. Guess all I can do is keep moving forward and hope in Him.

I did however, have a high moment last night. I called my mom, and she said she missed me. Hmmm... that is probably the first time in my life (perhaps she did say words to the same effect when I was away in school in Oz, but it's been so long I forget). Nontheless, I was impressed. The mother-daughter relationship has indeed come a long ways.

Yesterday's sermon by the Italian priest (I didn't get his name) was pretty interesting. From the Gospel on Jesus' first public miracle of converting water to wine at the wedding, key takeaway - sometimes our prayer should be "do whatever Jesus commands us to", even if you don't know what that is, trust.

I hate my job

I have tons of emails, it's only been 4 days of work in the new year! I can't clear the emails at the rate it is flooding my inbox. On top of my current platforms, I have been given a new platform. Highly visible, everyone wants a piece of it, hence of me. I am swamped and increasingly unmotivated as the hours tick by. No increment, no pay rise, no recognition for the hard work I put in last year...

Something has to give...

First day at work in 2010

Work felt like the last few days of 2009. Hmm... I guess no real difference in years, it just flows one into another anyways.

Sigh...

Same old, same old.

While I am holding out for some good news to happen, let's dance to this song. Was listening to my iPOD on the 4 hour flight home on Jetstar and suddenly I love this old but fantastic song.

Enjoy, try not to dance to it if you are listening to this in the office :)
