This week, that day..
Thursday, March 13, 2008
I've spent the past few days in a state of incredible stress, fueled by the realization that I have major deadlines for super important proposals all set for Thursday. What is it with me that I must say things like 'I PROMISE this will be sent by xyz day/time' to externals? Why must I promise? Why can I just not say the things that other normal people do? Why why why...
Of course, it hasn't been all bad. There's been some random good news, both related to work and to the other things in life - like the fact that there's a new Harold & Kumar movie coming out, I am actually witnessing proper spring for the first time (as evidenced by my glee at seeing flowers blossom on trees and hearing birds chirp on the odd day that I wake up before noon..) and Oksana's brilliant mispronunciation of a very common work term that led to Momani and I coming up with new jokes all day and me yelling out 'it is 9 AM! you cannot use that word at 9 frikkin AM!, random conversations with Leeda today (over which I have laughed hysterically) and randomer/annoyed conversations with Emad (we take turns whining). I've also had lots of fun working on GCC stuff this week, I love the diversity of my team and the supercool stuff we're doing!
Sigh. This is such a far cry from the start of the week where I went slightly mad shopping at a vintage clothes sale* (its not my fault, I should never be allowed to leave the house with my wallet again), was singing raucously at a karaoke night with some newly made acquaintances to now where all I want to do is rest my head on this table and go to sleep (except I'm in a coffeeshop/bar and might only wake up in time for their Friday breakfast)
*Oh no. I just found out that the sale is back on for the rest of March. Must resist temptation..must..
