Box the Ox

Oh me, oh my- is it going to be March already?

To tell you the truth, time has been crawling past, dragging me by my hair. Funny how it should be zooming past when you’re just so busy, but for me, I keep on being stumped with “What? It’s ONLY %*&%$$%! TUESDAY????” Yes. All week. Monday lasts forever and Friday never comes.

Of course the holidays seem so close, yet so far.

I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way; I hear it and feel it all the time around me- people are simply busier this year. Must be the year of the ox. Sure hope the tiger year comes soon and bites off the bloody ox’s ass. Growl.

I used to have some time to go to the pantry and make myself a cup of coffee. Damn it- I used to have time to SURF at work! But now I have ’free’ periods, i.e free of teaching but not admin work. Sometimes I move around so fast (REALLY!) I feel like I’m a wind-up toy. Sometimes I feel like I’m fleeting around, and I can’t feel my legs! I’m stretching every darn minute of my ‘free’ time to settle unfinished business, ranging from claming invoices, calling parents/ vendors/ caterers, writing proposals, developmental forms, photocopying, marking et cetera et cetera. The worst part is that I start off every day with a to-do list, and shake my head in despair at the end of the day because NOTHING gets struck off.  AND, more things actually get added to the list.

Needless to say, I am pretty much zombiefied when I get home. I sleep like I’m in a coma, but talk a lot in my sleep (and it’s always about work!). I have episodes of dreams in one night (and, SURPRISE! It’s always dreams about WORK), and I actually get confused, because in my dreams, I actually have finished that particular project/  made powerpoint slides for that lesson, but when I check the thumbdrive I can’t FIND that file. WHY didn’t I SAVE that dream in my thumbdrive ah? So much effort put in that dream. Must I start all over again then? *bangs head on wall*

So that’s why I haven’t been updating this blog, even though I just have SOOOO much to say. So many things have happened, but I have forgotten most of it. Ah well. Shit happens and will continue to happen I guess.

But there is this ONE incident that I am not able to forget yet, and I will write about it once February is over. Oh yes. That’s tomorrow, isn’t it?

Let’s see when I actually get my hands on the lappie again… maybe in April?
