Time Is Not On My Side

I need to deliver by June 30th. Seems like everything's not done yet. The content isn't quite there. The presentation is still sloppy. A hundred and one integrations still not looked at. Requirements change as frequent as GTalk status messages do. My table's a mess of documents. My mind's a mess of problems. I really hope my team won't burn out. Two have already packed their bags. Sick of their jobs? Trying to escape the situation? I really hope I can deliver. I really hope I need not run away. My other counterpart in the other team had already handed in her resignation, but it was rejected.

"Do you want more money?"

"Perhaps if we move you to another department?"


To her, it's all empty promises. The only release is by leaving. A change of scenery. Peace of mind.

The other day, Mel made this remark, "Notice how much troubles we have in our lives ever since we started working?". Come to think of it, I completely agree with her that my life has gotten invariably more complicated, but I don't know if it has to do solely with work. We spend most of our waking hours slogging in the office, so I guess it's natural that most of our headaches originate from work, but then, there are also far worse demons hiding out in issues of family and relationships. As we progress, our problems progress too.

Sigh. Panta Rei. Everything changes. I can only hope that it is for the better.

i guess, problems make us grow up, not necessarily wiser though..in the midst of all, I dedicate this to you Will :

Written with a pen,sealed with a kiss
If you are my friend,pls answer me this

Are we friends,or are we not
You told me once,but I forgot

So tell me now,and tell me true
So I can say,I'm here for you

Of all the friends,I've ever met
You're the one,I won't forget

And if I die,before you do
I'll go to Heaven,and wait for you

Just to prove my friendship is true
To have a friend like YOU!

Empty promises...every and single boss does that. my dear..

You can make it through.. in works, life and relationship. Just be strong. You learnt when u fall. We learnt that since young, don't we? Is not easy, we all know that. The road we went through is not easy. Is a painful experience.

But, you are lucky that we are walking and hold you by your side. My dear.

Best wishes and prayers from thousand miles away....We love you lots... *hugs*

Time is never on anyone's side. It is an age old problem. Whether you are young or old, rich or poor, tall or short.
"Life is difficult" will probably bring solace when you thinks of other more unfortunate event and person.
Sincere hope that you would get over it soon!

problems is part of growing up and it make us stronger. and about your job, job satisfaction is the important thing, try to explore other opportunities when you have managed to complete your current project...

and hang out with friends after work, it helps to free your mind from all your stress... have ur lover gives u a shoulder massage.. or maybe more ;)

problems exists all the time. even if this wasn't the issue... some other issue would arise by itself...

when you're young you wouldn't notice them because we are naive and ignorant... now... once they cut the MONEY factor... all issues become more... relevant...

life is just a routine.

welcome.
;o)
