A Hectic Week Without The Bosses

This is a start of a very very hectic week without the bosses around. They, are on their way for a so called holiday shoot in Manchester in which eventually is 45 minutes of ultimate stress, fast pace photography and a chance to meet a football celebrity. While we, the small kuchi-rats hold the fort. I'm not complaining about being left alone to hold the fort, but it always happens when a public holiday comes about. With the ammount of meetings coming up, quotation flooding every day, shoots at the very last minute with insane 'deadlines' and trying to deliver final product on time and not screw up the entire shabang, I sometimes amaze myself how on earth I can still be here sitting in front of my PC writting this. Really..many of us really don't know how on earth we can be in this position. In the middle of the entire screw-up industry is where we stand. Sad but true. Well I guess this fwe days is all but complains complains...One way for me to let off the steam.

I guess this post would be one of the shortest post I have ever written. All about letting off my steam.

This entire week has been really a slow week...All
I do was just sit around finish unfinished work from shoots of the previous weeks & preparing for the coming shoots. Everyone in the office is also as busy, in fact even more busier than me. I felt really not productive at all seeing myself with nothing much to do and the rest full of things to prepare. Nevertheless, I still have little little things to do which at least keeps me away from sleeping in the office.

Isn't it a bitch sometimes when you have already done all the planning for the coming week and then asked to move it to another just because mine is of less importance or income is not dat great. I really dislike being treated this way. I have to call up the necessary people to suggest pushing the date later and then cook up a cock & bull to cover up. It not only happen once but twice...now I am anticipating for a third. Worst it's first thing in the morning. What a way to 'brighten up' my suppose to be excellent morning.

Anyhows, the latest craze in the entire office is futsal & off
road biking. Yeap, after so long of serving in this company, finally an interest in coming together to get away from the hustle & bustle of the pathetic world of advertising to just have fun, relax and also get some work out for the body. It's fun seeing colleagues do their own magic on the pitch. Well we strive to make it a weekly affair but then sometimes it is impossible due to the stupidity of others whom we have to suck up to and please just because we have to.

The off road biking craze..I've always been a buff for cycling. I used to do road bikes and will always love road biking. The long distance, the speed, the beauty of the bike design and also the insatiable need to upgrade bike parts is just something I love. Now a change of scenary, I have indulged myself into off road biking. A lot of techniques required, especially when you are comfronted with obstacles. So far we've already been to 2 rides, merely searching for the perfect trail to go to every weekend. The first was just too much for us to take. It requires damn hell of a lot of skill and experience to ride through these insane terrain. On our second ride, we found a somewhat easier and fun trail and another which is not too bad though we sometimes have to get off our bikes to push. Looking forward to the next one. The craze is beginning to sip into the minds of some people and from 3 riders , we are now at 5. Come next month we are looking at 8.

Damn Uphill
Taking 5

Anyways, being single again is something which I still am finding difficulty to adjust to. It has got it's good and not forgetting it's bad. Well I guess it has a lot to compromise. I have been doing a lot of catching up with friends over a cup of coffee or over dinner, though sometimes many are not free when I, most of the time am because they have to spend time with their loved ones or still working . I mean I spend a lot of my time at work, infact 2/3 of my day is at the office. I guess you can't expect everyone to be very free for you all the time. I guess I still consider myself lucky to have good friends around me who still gives me the support & encouragement to carry on with my life. I was very close to giving up. Thank you very much. Thank you for spending your time listening to all my complaints, whims & fancies. Thank you for spending your late nights even though you had a rough day at work with me when I needed it. Thank you for replying sms'es at the wee hours of the night even though I know it's rude to do so even at 1 in the morning just to let you know how I felt at that point in time. You are all very very dear to me and will cherish your friendship till my very last breath.
