Mundane post coming right up …

I had a very interesting week. I wake up at 630 and then the rest of the day is a blur. Before I know it, I’m done with my lunch and then its back to recording, and then when I raise my head to look at the clock: 445pm.

Like helloooo?? Where did time go?

I can’t believe I’ve got over a month more before I resign but by the looks of it … It may be an official date, but I’ll be back to finish my work. I don’t think I can finish 74 programs in 20 days. *faints*

My middle boss called me into his office yesterday. I might have to prepare another resignation letter, this time not to my company but to another ministry I’ve been committed to. Apparently, since I’m leaving, I have to concentrate on handing over first … I’m not too sure how the other side’s going to take it, so I’m taking these few days to prepare as many documents they can use if it really turns out that I need to pull out. The big boss is in Beijing till Tuesday so when he gets back, they’ll be talking about whether I need to hand in that letter.

Am I mad about it, somebody asked. Well, I was, VERY, I reacted very strongly when my boss mentioned it for the first time, but now, if he really puts that into action, it won’t be that bad a thing because I didn’t expect the number of things I’d have to do to just handover. Plus, that other commitment is a few times bigger in scale than last year … I don’t know if I can handle both sides without shortchanging one.

So I asked God why … In the midst of this chaos, I was expecting to feel panic or fear or something … oddly enough, I feel peace, like everything’s going to work out.

I’ve learnt more about human intricacies in these few weeks than the last 2.5 years that I’ve been in here. Though I haven’t gone to school yet, it seems that the time spent here was like an extended course on human psychology.

Yes, I’m beginning to ramble on already … Well, if there’s anything to look forward to, there are the pancakes. Many thanks to those who bore the brunt of my madness in the middle of the week. There MIGHT be more to come … but just shut me up with the pancakes. :D
