Long work days...

Don't know how many more 12 to 14 hours days can I take... Work is too admin. Intensed like mad, no time to pee, no time to eat. Don't get me wrong... intensed as it is, it is BORING. Honestly, I feel like a bimbo. Buying cakes for clients, picking up cheques, depositing cheques, chasing people to get work done...duh...
But I asked for it, right? yup.

Tsk. But just let me grouse and be real, can?

One year. I think I will only try this position for one year. Cannot let my brain rot. Maybe God wants me to be more administrative? Maybe God wants me to be more bold in speaking to rich and important people? Maybe.

Stop.

Nonetheless, I thank God that I have a job, despite news of global retrenchment for my company and the Chairman's pay cut by 90%.

My grouse is that last week, I had to go to church for a meeting at 7.30pm, which means I have to leave office by 7pm latest. But my boss had to give me work at 6:50pm and wanted me to do it immediately. I told her bluntly that I have to leave cos I have a church meeting. She said "oh. But do this first."
!@*(&^&*!^@#!
I did it in a rush. No way is she going to stop me from leaving. I was so tempted to cast some demons out of her. (of cos I didn't)

Then this week, I had CG, and on purpose, I told my banker that I have church that evening, and I will leave by 7pm, by hook or by crook, and they cant stop me. Thankfully, he covered for me. He told the rest of the bankers not to dump work on me.

Then of cos, the other weekday nights when I do not have church meetings, I work till late. I just wanted my boss and the bankers to know that I will work hard and work late. But when I have church, I will not hesitate to leave the office. Guess I have to "educate" my new team that church is my priority.

Since Dec 2007, work and career no longer holds a big place in my heart. Something's changed.
