intermission

a brief respite after a crazy week. things finally slowed down on thursday and friday, which was a good thing because my spirit was already broken by wednesday.  the most xiong week in my work life, when one thing just kept coming in after another.  the thing to do would be to prioritize, but how to prioritize when everything is urgent?

this episode also helped me to appreciate the simple things in life.  like being able to eat lunch.  going home at 730pm.  not being to worry about work during the weekend.  and of course, sweet, delicious sleep.  how many times i yearned for the comfort of my bed, and my blanket, especially when i just wanted to curl up inside and cry.

there are alot of angry people now. and i realize that just 2 years ago i was saying and thinking the same things.  now being on the other side, i have also come to appreciate the good work that is being done but not recognised, such as workfare and gstv.  there are also trade offs , progressivity, comms and most importantly limited budgets.  things are not perfect for sure, but i have certainly become alot more sympathetic when what we want to do cannot be done.

but for now, i am just tired.
