I honestly havent had this feeling in a long time. Its been more than a year since I last felt it. The feeling of being so occupied with work and things to do that thinking about the bigger picture actually takes a back seat. Things thats on my mind at the moment in order of priority; Korea > HR project > Cina > FYP > TE. Yes, in that order. Surprised?
There's the Korea trip which I'm really excited to go for, but problem with it is that its so last minute. Buying plane tickets were a headache, espectially with prices rising every few days. Organizing where to go is another issue. With the expectations of other group members under me, I can't hlep but wonder if they are okay with the itinerary. Too many days in Seoul? Not enough educational programmes? Not enough time to play? But I guess in a way, their lack of input or voice cancels out their right to complain. I hope this trip is educational and fun enough for the team. Its much easier to enjoy this trip as a participant, rather than leading the team. I guess I have a tendency to shy away from taking responsibilities. Time for a change?
Somehow, I feel a drive inside amongst all this busyness. Theres a tendency to work harder, clear off all assignments and settle all the email correspondence without delaying further. Maybe its just the feeling of being under pressure. You actually have a goal to work towards, rather than spend time aimlessly with deadlines a few blue moons away...
The meme craze has caught up to me. I feel that some memes actually very aptly capture a situation pretty well. And the one that goes for this busy-period would be:
But when all is said and done... life restores to normal. But what is normal?
