EXHAUSTED...

Exhausted...mentally drained...sad...it was like a roller coaster for me today. I've put in so much hour this week its not even funny. I didn't even get to come home until almost 10pm. I'm tired and exhausted. It was almost like school all over again cramming for an exam and pulling an all nighter. Every single day this week was all about work, but at least I can enjoy the weekend now. I guess there's always a light at the end of a tunnel, right?

I was so sad to see my manager left and even worst, I didn't get to really say goodbye because I was too busy preparing for the meeting. What a bummer...in a way though, that prevent me from being emotional. I guess I'll just have to pretend she's on vacation or something. Hopefully though we'll continue to keep in touch and get together outside work. I'll miss working with her.

Last Tuesday, I stayed in the office very late. I knew that by 8pm the office light will turn off automatically so I asked my co-worker where the switch is at just in case I have to work late. Well sure enough I had to work late so as expected the light turn off at 8pm and I went for the switch to turn on the light except it didn't work. The room was very dark I got so scared I packed my things and left. I was the last person in the building and I ended up working from home until past midnight.

Because of Tuesday night, I intend not to stay very late today and hoping to get everything done. Boy was I wrong...our review meeting didn't even get done until 7:30pm and I was hungry because all I have all day was cereal for breakfast and couple granola bar for snacks and I miss my boys so terribly. I wanted to go home but at the same time I also wanted to get work done so I don't have to worry about it on the weekend. So, I went back to my cube and I saw the guy that clean our office, I was a little nervous because I don't know him but he was nice and said hi. Still nothing wrong for being cautious. Then the lights turned off...I realize it's already 8pm. Since I'm determined to get my stuff done, I battled my fear and stayed in the office. I saw that there's still a car outside the office so I was relieved to know that I am not alone. Then I saw that the person that owned the car was the guy that cleaned the office...I thought crap I stayed later than him...this can't be good. I look at the clock and its past 9pm. I was so mad at myself I left and went home. I guess TGIF?
