On being a professional juggler



It has been quite a challenging 3 months of my life.

After only a month into the job, my boss had to abandon me to look after her sick mother. I had to struggle alone battling an unfinished war with a so-called 'Director' of a government agency that had proposed to buy a highly specialised equipment for a highly specialised industry before finding a willing company that would undertake the particular project (guess which co. HAD to accept to undertake the project?). *sigh*

Apart from that, I had to take on another project, on top of the current one, and had to liaise with a very slick-talker china-man businessman. He will provide me with different versions of the same story every time we meet. I know that I'm in for a very rough road ahead if the proposed project goes through in the near future.

Ms Boss had finally to come back to work after 2 months of absence. And after going through the project status, she decided to have a run-through with our CEO, to brief him on the updates. At first I thought it was only for the 1st project. However, she happily told me that since we have managed to secure a slot with the CEO, we might else well brief him on both projects plus another new project that she had been mulling over.

All this in the span of 4 days!

The briefing is Friday and I have 4 days to complete the presentation materials and slides. Not to mention to prepare financial forecast for both projects!!!

It's now 11.30 p.m. and guess what I am doing on my bed?
