One 7 hour sleep.. totally unintended.. but changed the entire game!

From “Phew its its Friday, and I still  need to work all weekend!”, I became “oooooh its Friday! I have 2 full days to work on credit mobile!”.

Was totally worth it. It’s good to put important before urgent. Sure, you screw up the urgent stuff but what’s life without a few screw ups? ;)

Under pressure is what separates leaders from the rest..

From rohan’s blog on Monday.. felt it was a good time to remind myself..

Be graceful! :)

I haven’t slept properly.. I am hungry and I have lots of work to do.. my irritably is perfectly justified.

That may be so but
1. It is still your choice.
2. That doesn’t justify why someone else should be dragged into your pit of irritability.

So stop being a jerk and smile. :)

But pushing yourself without thinking is the pinnacle of naivety

Seems apt as I look into the clouds immersed in the song in Raaga Bilahari at 630am.. A cool morning breeze blowing gently.. bread in hand. Just happy. Thankful for all I have. And so much to look forward to.. Not worrying about the list of tasks to complete in the 1 odd hour left before I leave for work.. (and hopefully reach on time! )

Life is beautiful! :)

7 learnings..

1.  Working hard does mean you starve. Yes, you are eating food as normal but for some reason, you stomach is screaming out that it is starving. SO EAT!!!

2. Caffeine can keep me awake yes, but I get a feeling I am abusing it. I feel unclean. And I dont even like coffee. Well it tastes ok with Milo, by why should I consume 2 - 2.5 spoons of coffee a day? I must stop.. Coffee cannot substitute sleep.  If I am drinking coffee, it means I am not managing my time well enough to get good sleep. It is important to recognize this and work towards instead of thinking everything is hunky dory because I got 13.5 points.

I am slowly starting to realizing their beauty.

I am also understand what “Monday morning blues” are. Except its Sunday night.

But my week begins early - on sunday night.

I need the unwinding on saturday and sunday. It’s worth it. It recharges my battery. Makes Monday-Friday worth working.

And I love this go all out on weekdays and relax on weekends concept. Both complement each other - and make the other all the more satisfying! Although you wish the weekends were just that little bit longer, I guess I ll get used to it.

Its a Saturday. Office is closed. And its vacation time. There is no cluster leader during vacations.
And there is a power shutdown (not that it matters in this context, but still, no food, no nanyang supermarket, no LIFT, and no desktop. and no fan. and no light in the bathroom. and no lot of other things we are so shamelessly dependent on.)

And you want that account statement you think is in your mailbox. But you obviously dont have your mailbox key because you didnt think it was a smart idea to take half-day in office just to get the mailbox key from the extremely helpful people at admin office who are available strictly from 9-5 on weekdays only.

Had review session at work. People are very happy. Which is boring - but suits me now. I need to simplify non-CM parts of life.

Microsoft seems to have agreed to pay. Need to focus on CM. Really focus. Obsess over it. There are just 2 weeks left.

Dear body,

Sorry for abusing you like this. I promise to make it up to you.

Please understand and cooperate like you always have.

Thanks!
