Coming back to work after almost a whole week away is so not fun. Makes you wish that you came to work and suffered with a stuffed nose anyway rather than having to deal with so much crap when you get back.

Of course I came back on Monday with a feeling of impending doom. So what transpired this week?

1. My email inbox, as expected, almost bombed. I had 70 freaking emails which needed my attention. Spent like the whole of Monday afternoon responding to them.

2. Meeting at a school first thing on Monday morning. When did I find out I had a meeting? On Monday morning, at 8am when I was in the train on the way to work and my Supt called me. So I rushed down to office, reached at 830 and then left at 9 for a meeting. Meeting lasted till 2pm! And there was so much tying up to do after the meeting.

3. Paper due on Tuesday evening. Based on the Mon meeting data.I almost died. Had to cull information from the meeting and draw up a paper. God...I was pulling my hair out. Cos the paper was going to be read by the big shots and my Supt was so stressed, which amde me stressed out too. And on Tues morning, I was out with DD on a school visit as well. It's like I'm here and there, then here then there...

4. Focused Group Discussion for DD on another paper this Friday so time had to be spent on preparing for that too. And I have to prepare talking points for her. It's Thursday, the FGD's tomorrow, and her talking points are not ready. I am screwed.

5. Another paper for another Supt, which is waaaayyyy overdue..so I have to finish that by today, by hook or by crook.

6. Preparing logistics for my upcoming VP Retreat.

Yes, I'm rambling but I can't help it. And these are the main ones, not inclusive of the other nonsense which I have to do as well... Urgh..I'm so tired.So I've been skipping lunches, getting my colleagues to buy back food for me, and ....the thing I that most. Going back late! Every single day this week, I've been going home at 8! And I had to cancel my going out plans yesterday. Aarrgghh!!!!!!!!!!

I ca't wait for Friday to come, cos I'm meeting my friends for dinner on Fri, I'm going to gym and my bro-in law's treating the whole family to dinner on Sat and I'm going to chill out with Dev on Sunday... I so need the weekend to be here...
