Junky June

If May was madhouse, June is ..........  I don't know man......  I've been so pissed off and angry for the whole of the month for sure.  Work was terrible, I really hated work with a vengeance.  My Tuesdays were mostly terrible, and sometimes my Thursdays too.  It was just meetings after meetings after meetings and meetings...  I don't understand why they like to talk so much when there are so many things to do!  And the f&$king SAP integration project entered UAT stage.  I still had my usual BAU and other things, and this f*&cked up project had to rear it's ugly head and made life a living hell for me.  It was the school holidays, instead of spending time with my children I had to spend time on work.  Just work.....  Such a f#$ked up job.

Madhouse May

May has been an extremely packed month, I was even considering recapping this month's entry as "Machine Gun May", but I thought it wouldn't rhyme so well.  So "Madhouse" it is as the word describes the packed month quite appropriately anyway.

Arduous April

April has mostly been difficult.  I think the biggest thing that happened this month is that the missus got let go by her company just this Monday.  It took a while for her to process the news and I did my best to comfort her.  Just earlier this afternoon we went to her office to clean up her cubicle.

Mad March

Oh yeah, the pressure's going up this month for sure.  I've been so busy at work that I have been working on Sundays for about 4 hours just to catch up.  I really hate this month... So the SAP, Salesforce & in-house ONE Finance integration project has started in full swing and it's really making life a living hell for me.  The SAP part which is the backbone of the project is not even fully implemented yet, the end users don't have a picture of how they'll do things and we have to design our new module without a clear picture of the use cases and processes.  The ONE Finance API is also still in development, which means we can't do any testing or have a clear picture of how the products interact with each other until the API development is completed in mid-April.

Farcical February

This month has been a lot of things.  Chinese New Year, Lindsay's birthday, my wedding anniversary, an old hand returning to deck at work and yet still no change to my working conditions...... Where the f*ck should I start....

So there's Chinese New Year..  this year we travelled all the way to Klaten via Yogyakarta on the first day of Chinese New Year, right after reunion dinner on the night prior.  I dreaded the flight in the packed and cramped Air Asia jet, and true enough, I panicked moments after boarding when I saw people streaming in and filling up the seats one by one, I felt boxed in and my heart started racing until I had to take a 5 mg Xanax pill which I fortunately had prepared along with 2 cans of mints.  I really hated that flight, no way I'm going to fly on Air Asia again for sure.  The thing that I really hate about this is how my wife is taking my panic attack very lightly, just saying "I have to resist it".  If only resisting is as easy as her words...  Ironically, I made this trip only at her behest and yet I can't help but feel neglected by her and even frustrated by her lack of empathy.

Jabroni January

So here I am towards the end of January.  It has been a busy month, which is very surprising for a start of the year.  But then again.......  This is how my department works.  1 person has left today and another will be transferring to another department in April.  These says a lot about how bad things are in my department.
