Long D.E.A.D.
Such a bummer to have to blog when things are long past. This goes back to 18th Aug…prepration for an order of 200pcs of wedding miniatures due on the 21st. My design. It was just me & my boss. Lotsa piping & dotting with icing. I repeat, MY design. It drove me dots. Brought on my RSI(Repetitive Strain Injury) relapse. My right hand had cramps, my grip had zilt strength, hands were shakin & joints were all aching..ugh..The piping of the wordings weren’t so bad, it was the dotting with icing that drove me up the wall! It was a torture. Even had difficulty typing an sms! Pathetic! Finished work around 8 or so that evening. Back breaking & shoulders felt like they would drop off any moment. The ‘Let’s Go Shopping’ program(with P.Mok & B.Wong) was showing that night & both of us couldn’t get to catch it. BUMMER!!! Apparently, apart from my boss, Frances & I got caught on TV too!! YIKES!!! But both of us got informed that we were on screen..our mobiles started going off by 8ish!! Next few days started work damn early & finished about 6ish? 7ish? Or so? Can’t think straight…:P (Didn’t get to go home this few days!!!) And, probably due to the program, biz was Exceptionally good since then. Phones were ringin non-stop, people were streaming in continuously! Scary…1st thing that popped into my mind: ‘what…is it christmas already??’ EEeeeEEE…. Problem was..all our time was dedicated to all the orders & the miniatures. Didn’t have time to stock up at all. Sat came & finally, time to do our stockin up of our freezers. Ready for ‘war’. But..my ‘war comrade’ got food poisoning!! So I had to do the croquembouche alone *sob*.. Poor boss…she went home later that morning anyway. So, we all did a little work, finished around 5ish that day. I made a list of all that’s to be done on Sunday. Knew I was gonna be workin quite a bit so decided not to go back late on Sat. Sunday came & good grief…huge pile of work to be done. Freezers were SO damn empty & they sold off the last Cocoa Napolean!!! Argh!!! That pressed my panick button. Work. Work. Work. No time to stop to think or do anything else. Wanted to finish as much as I could so that when she came back to work on Monday she wouldn’t have to work so hard esp just after recovering. So tired I could hardly move. People were askin me out but I had to turn all of ‘em down. All I needed & wanted then(actually still do!) was sleep. Couldn’t walk straight. Monday came, and there was still a huge amount of work to be done. Today’s Tuesday. Finally, but only Tuesday. Still work to be done. Things to prepare, deadlines to meet etc. My off day never seems to come… For the 1st time in a long time, I feel exhausted to work. Wished I could take a few days off to snooze in bed & do nothin else. Apart from work, Frances is getting married-need to compile her songs, lotsa things to do, boss getting married, more prep work to do, Kerry’s getting married-more work to do-gotta do her wedding cake(SUPER STRESSED!!) & help wrap her cutesy favors!
Sis & I have to go hunt for some material. Boss & I have to go buy material for my dress..Goodness…so much things to do…I need more time!!! *GASP* See!! It’s not that I don’t wanna go out! I can’t! And look at how long my stupid post is! The past few days have been such a blur that I’m only posting bits & pcs of what I can remember!
Oh my poor MeiMei… We’re in the same boat ya… always not enought time. Time Time Time! We need so much more time!
