  Assalamu'alaikum, Now I realise what the Beatles meant in one of their songs about "a man must break his back to earn his days of leisure". Which is how I feel right now, after I lose count of number of meetings and appointments this week alone. Affected not just physically or mentally; but psychologically and emotionally too. Some things are never meant to be resolved in the fastest possible time.
Work will always be there, as one of my many bosses told me; but delayed work means more work accumulated later. I wonder how much work would wait once I return from Africa..... But thanks to unpredicted positive circumstances, I actually got someone to partly cover my duties. At least I can worry less during the holidays. No HP call to disturb me and a whole new boundary to explore. Hmm, a lot of souvenirs to buy/"bribe" for my colleagues who have to spend about half-a-month handicapped with just 2/3 of the total admin strength. Luckily the Wednesday management course had just ended this week too. Seems like things are opening their own way to allow me take this holiday.
Be sure to stay tune to be updated on the fate of the unlucky pseudo-workaholic "me" in an attempt to hand over the 2-weeks work to a rookie and how he'll try to "tai-chi" things coming along the way. LOL!
