An American Road Trip

I was in the States for work last week.

5 cities, 6 days, 21 photos. Snapped with the trusty iPhone and processed with Instagram.

Saying Goodbye

I stepped out of the office at 8plus today.

It was like any other long work day, except I had sent out my farewell emails, cleared my workstation and left with two bagfuls of belongings.

Yep, today was my last day of work.

While i look forward to the new environment, i know i will miss the company of the colleagues whom i now call my friends.

One chapter has closed and another one beckons.

Wish me luck.

OT blues

It's a Friday night and i'm still stuck in the office, working on stuff that just.never.ends.

Will still need to work a bit over the weekend. Boo.

What a grueling week.

No More Dreaded Mondays

Mrs C is probably one of the most inspirational women i've met. I'm honoured and thankful to have had the chance to work with her.

About 2 months ago, she gave me this book, together with a card, to thank me for my help with an event and to serve as a form of motivation, as she had heard from another colleague that i have been feeling disheartened due to some challenges at work.

An excerpt from her card goes:
"....Sometimes our work gets tough and at times we may feel discouraged but if we see this as a mission and not just a job, we will find the work worthwhile..."

I haven't touched the book as i've been distracted by magazines and chick lit. But with the recent 11 hour work days that i have been putting in AND the insane, unwelcome amount of number crunching at work (i loathe numbers and never expected this to be part of my job scope), i think it's time to start my bedtime reading.

No more Monday blues? We'll see.
