The datelines and milestones... again
Yes, I am being hit by them again. Damn, the datelines.On the 12th, ie. this coming Monday, I have a set of P&IDs (process & intrumentation diagrams) and HMBs (Heat & Material Balance) to submit. I apologise for the lack of my postings for the past week. The thing is, I do go online, I just havent got much to say. Neither do I today, but for the hack of it, if it isnt you, then who do I complain to?
The boss has warned us to come in on Saturday and Sunday as well, he used the word "picnic" to be precised. If only that word sounded fun, like it used to be maybe 20 years ago. Having said that, it is obvious that with more money they shower you with, and more demanded you are in the market, the more workload you will be burdened with.
Sometimes you wonder, when will all this end? When will I be able to actually retire and rest and travel. Watch the kids grow in front of you. Spend more quality time with the family.
Someone (one of them sibuk-sibuk makcik to be exact) actually asked me this yesterday "macam maner nak jadik mak orang?" (how are you gonna be a mom?). I replied with a smile. And thank God my phone rang at that moment. Because I might have just gave her a piece of my mind, which will probably make her run off to the surau to cry.
It makes you think, which is why I probably hang out with the guys rather than the makciks and kakaks. Because all they talk about is "biler nak kawin?" (when are you getting married)and then next will be "biler nak ader anak nih?" (when are you gonna have babies). There are nothing more they like than to run someone's life, rather than their own, for all you know, their house is a pigsty.
And yes, I am angry. Very. The datelines has got me again, and the pressure and the lack of sleep. But still, I need the overtime. So I am gonna be a slave. And slog. So, there you go, the story of my life for the past week.
Have a good weekend and enjoy them with me, I'm certainly missing mine.
