Its yet another end of a month...

And it's usually the busiest times for us at work.

It still is.

When I'm currently juggling 3 new projects that's going on, and tonnes of deadlines and objectives to meet...I think I need some time off.

Well...not off off, you know. But off to somewhere for the day...a trip to the beach or things like that. But the thing is, going to the beach now when it's summer it's crazy. You have to even fight for a spot even just to STAND on the beach. (You will never believe how bad it is until you get here.)

Besides that, if i shoot off for a day and come back after that, there'll be even more work to do since I could have spent the last day finishing off what I haven't managed to.

So it's a vicious cycle, really.

But things can ONLY get better.

I've got OT tomorrow.

OK, I know doing OT is not something new for me now. (In fact, I can't really remember how many days I've NOT had OT instead, since I'm always trying to do more in a day.) We'd even joke that my usual hours are not 8.30am to 5pm with a 1 hour lunch break, but 8.30am to 5.30pm with a 20 minute lunch break instead.

The only difference is, I wasn't asked to do OT previously. It was plainly because I wanted to finish as much as I can in a day so I wouldn't delay my schedule for the rest of the week. This occasion, however, I was asked if I could do OT and I would be paid for it. (Meaning, I think this would be a night long thing then. Judging by how much I have to finish before Thursday. Need to be lightning speed-like probably.) Good...I need to work to pay for my shoes...HAHAHA!

I've realised recently that we've had loads of new projects coming in, but there's still the same number of us working. In fact, there're less of us working since it's summer and people are off on holidays all summer long.

*sigh*

I'm so envious. I wanna go on holiday too...
