Bringing the Best out of You, Bringing the Worst out of You

Been missing in action for a while now, for peak has officially started…
And this, so far, had been a crazy one!The worst I’ve had!

What amazes me most is the amount of people tendering, resigning…for whatever reason…not that its not expected, for the workload and the pay (According to most)…doesn’t jive.. *cough* And I concur *Cough*
Succession planning has failed in a lot of engagements, and with the recruitment in 2007 done in huge batches, we all ended up with fresh graduates….in almost all jobs…IF you actually get any associates..
(=.=)”

This peak made me realised that while some bring the worst out of you, others bring the best.
There were times where things were so bad, where feelings were so low, when I was on the brink of giving up, held back only by my pride that I refused to be pushed down and out that way, when ALL I ever wanted was to stay away from work, when my life seemed crumbling down…
I doubt I will ever forget the event, or the person..
Then there are other times when hope appears, sun shines, that despite the far worse workload, I was still at a better state.

My first year, first peak being a senior…work is getting impossible.
I’m being squeezed for time, that I really wish I have 50 hours a day. My previous client wants me back to follow up, my soon-to-start team wants me to start earlier with them…in the end? I am doing both…
Finalizing one side, starting another side…and yes, the time I have isn’t even sufficient for ONE side of work!
If anyone was to ask if I’m exhausted, I am..
If anyone was to ask if I’m breaking down from everything, not quite.
As much work as I have, as impossible as things seem, I’m learning. More than I’ve learn in the past 2 years..The only time I remember actually being this happy was back to the days when I just joined the firm.
Almost every other day, I go into information overload mode. The new information I receive gets more overwhelming each time, yet for once…after a year plus, I feel challenged, in a positive way.
One month down, 3 more months to go!
