Lately

Been more than a week since I've last blogged an entry. Been real darn busy at work, rushing deadlines, writing countless and endless streams of articles *sees stars*. Almost made me want to lay off writing or blogging for awhile...hehe

I think I've brought the description of "workoholic" (that's applicable to me), to new heights. I've been going into office like 8 plus in the morning, and leaving office after 8 in the night. Imagine, more than 14 hours a day. Heck, I spend more time working than anything else. Think my mom is gonna nag me about treating my home like a hotel again. Sigh.

It's certainly no mean feat for someone nocturnal like me, to wake like 6 or 7 in the morning in order to reach office before 9. There was a period of time when I reached office at 930 in the morning due to the late nights that I keep. These two weeks have sort of hit me with a new realisation, ie. (1) it's nice to come into office early too (2) I've been coming into office way too late during that couple of weeks (3) I've got tons of work to clear and I don't have much choice anyway. Especially with my boss's impending trip, the tight deadlines are a result of trying to clear as much as possible before she leaves, and also because all clients just so love to jam our schedules and then breathe down our necks. Yah. Gives them joy to tap their toes behind us and chasing us every minute for drafts. And with yet again another editorial meeting on the coming Monday...*sees stars and planets now...isn't that Pluto?*

Something really funny happened last week. I went to cover an event for a client last Wednesday and because it was a last minute thing, I had to go alone without my boss. The event stretched to the night and included a sit-down 8-course dinner. Everyone was really nice to me, and some recognised me from covering one of their previous events. However, this time, there was one particular guy who kept hounding me. Harassed me even. He invited me to sit at the same table, and at one point even refused to let go of my hand *creepers*. Of course, I escaped after I told him I'm on assignment and have to do my job. And after the event ended he even passed me a glass of wine and join him for a talk...and once again, I told him I'm not supposed to drink on the job (excuse of course) and that I needed to rush home to finish some work. He offered to send me back, but I lied that my boss is coming by to pick me up. Haha...

Of course I did tell my boss the next day and she even told me to use her as an excuse whenever necessary..hahaha..She told me she thought the bosses would "take care" of me. They are very nice people, but does she really think they would watch out for me during their functions? Besides, they would think I'm fully capable of taking care of myself (I am...just inexperienced only).

Oh yes, my ex is bothering me again. He's getting blatant and explicit now, telling me about his feelings and how he wants to get back with me. I told him on equal terms that (1) I have NO feelings for him AT ALL (2) I will NEVER consider a relationship with him EVER AGAIN (3) I have moved on. I just wish he would leave me alone. My Gawd...get away from me please.

It irks me somehow that I've been attracting the wrong kind of attention of late. This young chap of 22 years old whom I know has been telling me how he wants to have a relationship, asking me if I have a boyfriend *duh* But the point here is, he has some serious issues with his family. He's facing a difficult phase, and I think he needs to sort out his life first and it's certainly not a relationship that he needs.
