You were probably just curious. But hey, it really made my day! :)

Busy Friday
I look forward to Fridays. Who doesn't, right? So yesterday, I came to the office feeling happy and at the same time relieved, because it was the last day of the week and I get to not think about work for 2 days. I even had "yey, friday" as my status message in YM. I usually use this status after a toxic week at work.
I spoke too soon. It was a not-so-yey-Friday after all.
Working on a Friday is like a mortal sin. Come on, who wants to work on a Friday? What's even worse is, if you have to work overtime! I mean, sure, we go to the office, check our emails, finish whatever we can finish for the day, and then party (or go home and get some sleep)! That's it, not so much pressure. But when you're suddenly asked to finish a task by the end of the day (read: was asked a few minutes before lunch break (12PM); deadline: 6PM or EOD), it's a different ballgame. I hate when this happens, but of course, I'm just an employee! I need to do what I'm asked, even if it's like almost Saturday already! Aargh!
Well, there's a bit of a good side to this story. I am taking on a new role. Technically, it took effect last October 1, but haven't really started yet with the work per se. ('Though, the one I was asked to do is kinda part of my new role na.) I'm still doing a lot of reading/researching, have some more con-call trainings left and will have to do some "shadowing". Definitely, the new role requires me to have more responsibilities. It also means I have to be more effective in time management. I welcome the challenge but I'm also apprehensive because I'm not really sure if I fit the role to a T. This is totally new for me and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have an easier, happier time when I'm over and done with the 'ackward' stage already.
So does this mean I'll have to say bye-bye to happy Fridays? Of course not! ;-)

Speaking of happy Fridays, I was dead set on going to the NU Rockathon gig at Malate last night. A lot(?) of bands were to perform, including, Markus Highway, Pupil, Sandwich, just to name a few. I've psyched myself up that I'd be less shy and friendlier, so I could meet up with my fellow Circus listers,(members of the Eraserheads Mailing list) and go to the venue with them. But unfortunately, I had to work overtime. I left the office around 8:30PM and since Malate is not such a 'friendly' place, I decided not to go (by myself) anymore. My tropang wasak is not really into the "rock & roll band scene" so it was hard to convince them to go to the gig with me. But still, I had a blast last night. Thanks to my office friends! What will I do without you guys? Naks! :)
