Work sucks, I know - Blink 182

Workload has always been crazy but recently the burden seems heavier. It is bad when you already have so much to do and cut short your lunch breaks. It is worst when you have your colleague complain to your manager that she has alot of work to do too and that her work gets passed on to you. What makes me furious is that she gets off work on time at 5pm sharp while I stress over work til 7pm.

You may think 7pm is early as compared to working hours in other places. Tis is true but I have other commitments. Like her, I need to study for exams too. Like her, I've got a social life too. Like her, I would like to get out early and enjoy the sun while it lasts.

What makes thing even worst is that she is giving me the cold shoulder. Whatever, it doesnt affect me. She was never nice to me in the first place anyway. On my first day at work she asked me if I wanted to join her for lunch with her friends. I said I dont mind (not like I know anyone). She asked me if I was sure I wanted to join her friends. Turns out, those friends of hers were my uni mates. Funny thing is that she doesn't eat lunch with them anymore. Period. Even if she is alone she rather eat at her desk.

Then I go home to another set of problems. When you think you've had enough the rollercoaster we are riding on gets even wilder. Anyway, we'll leave that for another story to tell.

As of now, I just want to hit on the brakes and take things slowly. If only that is possible.

Signing off,
