Where I don't write in complete sentences and worry more about work

Feeling a tad frustrated. Having problems getting to sleep. Last night I went to bed at 9.45pm (hey, I was aiming to wake up in the first half of the 5am hour to exercise after all) but I only finally fell asleep at MIDNIGHT! It took 2 glasses of milk, 1 glass of ice cold water, watching a bit of wrestling because that was what my brother was watching and I needed to get away from the bed for a while (they don't even pretend to look real anymore, those wrestlers). And some reading.

Needless to say, I was almost late for work, let alone whether I had time to exercise. In fact, this has been happening every night this week. It's not that I'm not tired, I'm exhausted at the end of the day. Especially Monday and Tuesday when I managed to exercise twice in a day. But no matter how exhausted I was, my body refused to fall asleep!

Still have lots to do at work. Endless meetings every day this week, while the work piles up on my desk. It's Chinese New Year next week on Wednesday and Thursday, which means Tuesday will be a half day. The best piece of news was that the company is enforcing block leave on Friday (yeah!) so I'll I have a long week away from the office.

Since I plan to enjoy every minute of that, I suppose I'll have to come down to work this weekend. I really need to clear the backlog from my desk, and clear my working area. The staff from the other side are moving to our office sometime this month, so all of us have been ordered to clear our stuff.

Not looking forward to all this merger stuff, frankly speaking. Already I'm beginning to experience increasing hassles about being part of a larger, public-listed corporation. There needs to greater accountability and transparency and what not, and somehow, this all always translates into more paperwork and more red tape for us. And obviously, less flexibility than what all of us are used to. Of course there are better HR perks for the staff, but.. *shrugs* pros and cons in everything I guess.
