刚刚工作了3个多月，就拿了年假。反正公司里的同事都觉得我好象是已经做了1年的员工了。

就在上飞机的前一天下班前，还真的觉的很开心。

今天的假开始要在家里过了。在上海玩了几天，正好在家好好睡觉、吃饭。

放假真好。

My dear, it is the 3^rd time that I sprang my ankle. Perhaps I should learn how to walk all over again.

 

But I quite enjoying seeing Chinese physician for sprain treatment; though it is pain but so relaxing after.

 

Nevertheless, I am really so ‘lucky’: getting injured just less than 1 week before traveling, and at this period of time when there is no break from work, but expecting overload (so I am writing the report later tonight--homework).

 

Now it is come to the end of the year, hope all the bad things just go far away; yet like bad guy will never return.

So today is Thursday, a public holiday. Yesterday was Wednesday. But I just naturally thought that yesterday was Friday, and reached office at 835am because I have an early morning meeting at 845am on Friday. It took me quite a while to realize that there was no meeting yesterday, because it was not Friday.

 

How could I forget about time? Time is flying, and I still wanted it goes faster. It is unusual. Though there will be a monthly makan(eating) section with my colleagues this Saturday, it could not be the reason that I am so eager to get time pass by. Perhaps being busy and getting sick is a better excuse that I want to have a weekend break sooner, How should I describe my work? ‘Messy’? I just don’t have any chance to concentrate on the same piece of work the same day. But slowly I am trying to define a time frame for my work. Of course flexibility and prioritization and are the keys in my work. There is a saying that work will never be finished. Though it sounds depressing and self-comforting, it is a good sign isn’t it? You will not lose your job because there is always work to do. Haha...

 

P.S. a piece of crap on the public holiday noon.

It was expected that after starting work, there won’t be homework -- meaning: you can forget about your work when you are not in the office. It was also known that ECA are just for students--meaning: you just need to do work that related to your job. BUT, it is not true!!!

 

Sometimes you just feel not to do too much OT, while you have work unfinished, then you choose to bring work home to do. Besides, there is usually no time for you to do research at the office.

To increase the employee satisfaction score, there are many off-work activities: dinner gathering, charity food festival, sports, etc; so you are the lucky one being in the organizing committee and in charge for your own department as well. As a result, more meetings, more emails, more extra work, and more OT.

 

Well, it is tiring, but it can be fun sometimes. Perhaps just take it as a break in work. After all, people see what you have done, and praises make you proud.
