No Stress?

Had lunch with my boss yesterday, and she was asking how i'm coping so far.
Brilliant me, blurted that there's "No Stress" in this job... before i could stop myself.
Today, i kena 'arrowed' to help her prepare 3 papers for the presentation end for next week! *bleah*
No wonder she was beaming after hearing my reply during lunch, and smilingly told me that the pace will pick up soon.


I think the only thing that's a lil' bit stressful is the "Clean Desk" Policy. I survived pretty well, having kept my desk ultra CLEAN so far, considering my reputation. :P I was used to just shut down the notebook, and lock the door without packing the desk. No such luxury now... :/
Hmmm... should've made a bet with Dominic and Lili, and i would've won. They have so underestimated me this time. *gloat*

I get stressed when...

  • the fuel indicator is pointing at "E", tho' i know and have been told repeatedly by everyone that the car can still go quite a distance before the red indicator starts blinking
  • i'm driving in unfamilar part of the country, and the handphone battery is almost flat... coz i'll keep thinking what if i got lost or the car breaks down in some ulu place and i need to call for help
  • i'm daydreaming in class, and the lecturer just hafta pick on me and ask me "what do you think?" .. !#@#$^&% ..
  • when it's 10 min before submission deadline, and the stupid computer or server refused to work and i couldn't upload my project/paper and neither could i email it to the professor.
  • staff come to my room and start crying, and i hafta offer the tissue box and try my best counselling skills and listening skills
  • i hafta deliver bad news to people on things that i do not have ctrl of :(
  • it's my turn to lead the biblestudy coz i always feel that i'm not knowleadgeable enough to lead. Feel more comfy with a partner like KP/Steven/Carina to lead. :P
  • i have privy to high level confidential stuff and not allowed to share, and hafta act very blurr and give instructions as if i know nothing
  • i hafta hold the entire conversation in business mandarin with a mainland chinese or taiwanese biz associate
