Of exciting heart palpitating times

Ever had the feeling like your heart is pumping so hard, and for so long, that you just want to puke?

Yar, that's the occasional feeling I've been having at work. I've moved out of the i'm-sick-of-work mode. I'm in the work-is-too-exciting mode now.

We're doing a project that must be completed within a very short time (< 1 week). Well, I do have thanksgivings: (1) Though the hours in office are intense, they are not extended. Mmm...rather, they don't need to be. (2) My new staff is very capable and good with numbers, which helps a great deal. (3) So far, cooperating parties are very helpful and hardworking, except maybe for one particular department (blacklist them!). (4) External pressure to complete is relatively low....I actually hate being closely supervised.

Throughout all these, I see God's grace towards me, again, to see me through difficult moments at work. This is a new project, and new team combination (internal & external), so very glad that all things worked out pretty well.

This is the day the new Swift SPORT arrives. I must emphasise that it's the SPORT, i.e. fast(er) car. It boasts of something like acceleration of 8.5s for 0 to 100 km/h. This is in great contrast to my current car which is 60s for 0 to 100 km/h (okie..yes, the latter is a huge exaggeration, but it really feels like it). The other thing to clarify is, IT IS NOT MY CAR. It's my daddy dearest new car. So proud of him!

What is wonderful about this whole thing is that, I get a "free upgrade"! Getting my dad's hand me down instead. Whoah! Actually, I've not been really excited about this. I mean, (1) do not want to get too thrilled by material stuff, (2) effectively not really much of a change, since it's still a co-ownership thingy. But sitting at home last night, and us talking about it...really made it quite exciting. Got a sporty fast car on the side, and a free upgrade to something bigger and better.

Alright, enough distraction...it's back to work...for more heart palpitating moments.
