I always hate it when I go back to working after a series of long holiday breaks. Hundreds of urgent and important emails flooding my Lotus inbox, a number of clients intolerantly queuing in the telephony system, and a long list of TO DOs unmarked off my organizer!
I say that the work week that ended was just horrible. I would console myself for not having too many escalated issues to address, but there were just a lot of work to do. There was a day when some teammates took an emergency leave so I had to immediately cover in their absence. From Monday to Friday, I consistently stayed in the office for 10-12 hours. I’d get home by 11PM (the earliest) or worse by 1AM!
All the work strain took its toll yesterday when, after oversleeping for 10 hours or so, I woke up feeling all worn-out and muzzy. Dreadful really, as I got up at 11AM and reach the office past 1PM. It was crazy, crazy, crazy!!! Whenever I’d spend days like these, thoughts of resigning always promptly come up up:
gucci bags.
Thank God for the weekend, but I think I need more than 48 hours to recuperate from the terrible stress I had the past week. I’ve thought of getting Shiatsu massages or if the budget allows, may be a top-to-toe spa treatment. I’ve, as well, planned to hit the gym because the sauna and the steam bath are a perk, but I don’t have the energy to tow my limbs off to the gym and further punish myself by lifting those plates. But man, it’s past 5pm and I haven’t decided really on which destressing activity to spend on. Dammit!
I ultimately hate hate hate stress!!! It just sucks the juice out of my pulp!!!
