Just when I thought I had finished the bulk of my work this week, I just got dumped 2 major projects.

1. Yesterday afternoon, about 4pm, I was happily tidying up the last of my work (or what I thought was last) when I received a call from HQ stating that there was an urgent submission to be done on the analysis of Racial Harmony Plans from all West Zone Schools to be handed in by the next day 5pm, which is basically today. Of course, I panicked cos I hate to do last minute work so went to Supt for clarifications and realised that this slipped his mind and he forgot to inform me in March, yes March, and so, I had no choice but to do it. ALL FREAKING SCHOOLS IN WEST ZONE, PRI, SEC & JC!!! You know how many schools that is in all? 92 GOD-DAMN SCHOOLS! I had to sift through each and everyone of their RH plans, and analyse across levels, and fill out this stupid template..I almost went cross eyed doing this, and I was so close to either crying or tearing my hair out. That took me the whole morning till lunch time, which was about 4hrs...But oklah, quite fast I think given the fact that it was 92 schools.

2. When I came to work this morning, my other Supt called me to her desk and said DD wants a paper up by end of July to look at strategies schools can deploy to handle NT students. That leaves me with only 3 weeks to work on it. And I had to call up schools from my Supt's cluster to get their inputs on what they do with their NT students, and now I have to cull out the information from what they have given me, do my own research, call up other divisions in HQ. Why? Cos we have a discussion with DD...Next Wednesday! I'm going to die cos I have to give intelligent ideas or she'll shoot me down in front of the committee...Which means...I have to bring back work..Unless I give in shoddy work, which I hate. I am going to die....

And next week is going to be another crazy week. I still have 2 days of induction for the new Vice Principals, I have a workshop planned for Principals, I have a learning Journey to Pathlight Schools with my zone, I have a VP Retreat Meeting, and a branch meeting and a divisional meeting. It's going to be a looong.............. week.

I know I'm rambling and probably boring you guys with the things I'm doing at work but I need to vent...So sorry guys.:)

What am I going to do this weekend? I'm going to kick some ass today after work (body combat at the gym) and meet Dev for dinner, I'm going to do CIP on Sat morning (send food stuff to Old folks living in 1 room flats), hopefully watch Transformers after that and buy my Bobbi Brown make-up which I've been lusting after for a while and on Sun, I'm going for a facial, get the damn work done and hopefully, if I'm not too lazy, I'll go for a yoga class at Novena's California Fitness....

I feel fat...The gastric flu medication is making my stomach bloated..Or maybe it's just the chocolates which the Supts have been stuffing my face with everyday since they got back from their hols (One came back from NZ, another from States), or the chocolate and kaya buns which I eat every morning as I walk from the train station...Urgh, I feel fat.

Yesterday, after a week and a half of not gymming, I finally hit the gym again. I ran like crazy on the treadmill, managed to cover 4km in 27 mins..Not bad right? Then even though my thighs were killing me, I continued on with a Body Balance class (combination of pilates and yoga). Felt so much better. Must have more discipline and gym more often. This whole eating non stop and sitting down in the office thing is making me feel like a fatty.

No pictures for this entry. I feel fat.

You all have a good weekend...And yes, I still want to get a tattoo...
