Today, I had to turn down an opportunity to do some things that involved spending 4-month of this year in Canada. I was fine with the rest of the work but spending such a long time in Canada, while my company is growing, was not a good idea. Therefore, I had to turn down the opportunity.

If I did not have other responsibilities and projects to do, this would have been an excellent opportunity to get paid to work on my limited French and travel North America for the first time in my life.

That said, I thought to myself that, things are really changing in my life this year. Ever since I left my old job, I have been inundated with opportunities to do lots of different things. If things go well this year, I should be wearing about half-a-dozen hats by the end of the year. That’s a lot of hats.

However, I see this as training for the big game. If I can learn to handle that many hats, I think I’ll be good to handle bigger things in the future. It helps that I get to pick and choose the things that I’d like to involve myself with, as it means that I get to do fun things that I enjoy.

All is good, as long as I don’t collapse under all that pressure.

(I’m still recovering from my exhaustion last week!)

Can I say that?

Honestly, I do not like long weekends because they are neither long enough to be a proper holiday, but they are just long enough to be disruptive to the schedule. Long holidays are too short to get any real work done and so, I usually end up wasting them. Like this weekend, I did not get to do what I wanted to do because I had to do what I needed to do instead.

Sigh.

I’d rather have everyday be work day but I’m sure that I am in the minority. Work-life balance – bleah! If work is not life, then it’s the wrong thing to do. 😀

One film I’ll watch in the cinema even though Megan Fox is gone!

This film look pretty good too and might satiate me for a while. 🙂

Natalie Portman! 🙂

Superhero filled summer!

Yeay!

Damn, I think that I’m falling sick.

Working 7-days a week and pulling late-nighters does take its toll, I guess.

I am a zombie today. I can hardly stay awake but I need to do so. I hope that I’ll be able to get a good night’s rest tonight and kick up a storm tomorrow morning. Actually, I just hope to be able to wake up healthy tomorrow.

Sigh.

Today, I went to a bookstore with my family and my nephew went off to pick some books to buy. My sister was trying to encourage my nephew to read by randomly picking books off the shelf. I decided to recommend some of the books that I loved to read around his age. Then, the funniest thing happened.

My nephew commented that it was not a good book because it was too thick and heavy.

This brought back memories. My sister used to also judge a book by its weight. She used to teach me that the best book to buy is the thickest and fattest one. However, my nephew is now doing the opposite – buying the thinner and lighter book instead.

I found it funny – that my nephew was judging a book by its weight, just like his mom.

Was feeling a bit under the dumps. So, I went looking for new Glee songs on Youtube today.

How do I motivate myself to work?

That’s one of the problems that I have these days. I am working practically all the time now – seven days a week. It is kind of difficult to keep going at this pace without a break from time to time. Today is one of those days. I have a pile of work that I need to get done, but I just have no motivation to do any of it.

I need a new scheduling algorithm.
