Timeout ...

i finally got a time to take a break. hmm, sounds dramatic eh? ah, don't care.
it was a pretty hectic day yesterday. boss came and asked me to do some analysis for the tax partner. well, actually she asked me on friday and i managed to complete it on tuesday. it's just that yesterday she told me that i had to incorporate data from the old system in to get the whole financial ye data 'cos the partner wanted it that way now. the problem was that 2 different system with 2 different data structure i know i'd be going in and out of her room for this. but, after telling me what to do she asked me to liaised with the partner in case i need more information as she'd be on pm leave. very nice! i spent the whole day massaging the data and it was not a pretty picture. a lot of crosswalk need to be done to get it in the same pictures. i really tortured my eyes looking at 8000ish rows of data that i myself felt floating. called the partner for some confirmation only to get more request, sigh. took a break to attend the d&d meeting. yupe, i was asked to join the committee again and i think, why not. will be in charge of the table arrangement again plus food&beverages. now this is fun. so after brainstorming on the theme *still undecided* and done with my part i had to excused myself out of the meeting to continue my report. i felt so utterly lazy looking at the figures but i need to get it done. i gave up around 7ish because i had another commitment. well, work will always be there tomorrow no matter how hard you work on it, right? met my friend for dinner. walked to clarke quay. waited for another friend and then we headed down for the ladies nite. one of them decided to leave as she was not feeling well so only 2 of us stayed. we went there early but apparently it was still closed and we were asked to come back around 9 to 9.30. so went for some ice-cream *we shared the ice-cream to avoid feeling guilty on my side*. i enjoyed talking with this friend of mine as she's one of those go-getter with some good views to share though sometimes it is more do-able for those who have nothing to loose. after spending time there we headed back to the club. it was quite a surprise that each of us was handed a goodie bag. is that a normal thingy on ladies nite? we're not sure. to be honest ladies nite has never have any effect on me, non-alcoholic beverages always come in full price. we ended up in one place where the music wasn't that loud so we still can do our own catching up and enjoying people-watching at the same time. the reason she asked us to go for this ladies nite thingy was the candy floss provided but she ended up with none, hehe. reached home only to receive a call from the girl who left early. its quite a surprise, in a nice way, to get a call from her especially that we ended up chatting for almost 2 hours. we're not that close but i can sensed that she's starting to open herself up more.
slept at 2.30, woke up at 6 this morning. my mind is still disturbed about the report thingy. left the house at 6.30 and on my journey to the office i realised something, something that could make my night a little bit peaceful. i remembered boss saying about trying to get the detail out and send to the partner for approval before proceeding to the summary. at that time i said to myself, what's the point on doing so since the detail is what takes lots of time. but after thinking about it again, i assumed what she meant was try to come out with 1 partner first. well, that was what the 1st thing i did when i reached office. 'beautify' the extraction for 2 partners first and sent it out. 8.30 came and the partner called. asking for this and that to be included, some of which seems a bit tricky and required lots of eye-balling which i had to seek my boss' advise. now she's talking about this new channel thingy with the partner and i am left with waiting for the final decision.
oh.. i so wish i can just go home and hide myself under my blankie now. i feel soooo lethargic.
