unexpectedly workaholic....
Wed, 23 January 2008
My blog was abandoned was abandoned coz.....
1... I had to go to the States on business unexpectedly last week. It was a busy week. I had to work crazy. I thought I didn't have to go on a biz trip at all for this company! But then, I am so sure that the number of biz trips I have to deal with is a lot smaller than when I had to work for the previous company so I should be grateful.
2... Because of the bad jet lag (yes, I am old...), I didn't go out after work when I was on the trip last week. Once, I went to a bar and it was Karaoke night! Yay. I sang in front of 200 or so people. Of course, I sang our homo anthem, Freedom by Wham. I didn't get booed :) Yes, the drunk asian guy who sang up there was me. haha.
3... And I had to work the weekend last weekend as well.
4... I had to go to Seoul for a day trip last Monday and it was a day biz trip. I hate it that Seoul is so close to Tokyo now... I cannot even stay there.
5... And yesterday because of hard work schedule and all, my fever went up to 40 degrees C/ 104 degrees F last night. I couldn't get a day off today due to this specific task I had to take care of. What made this worse is it was snowing earlier today! Since we didn't have snow last winter, I guess this is the usual winter in Tokyo. It's freaking cold today! along with the bad fever, I thought I'd die.... But I feel better than yesterday...brrrrrr.
6... and I have to work this weekend as well :-(
On the other hand, you take good care of yourself! Stay healthy!

I thought you resigned from your old job to escape this kind of situation?

Hmm... I hope the old job didn't get a hold of the new job and told them how much you "love" to travel. Maybe it's in your karma to travel whether for work or play. You did have that f. a. before. Get well soon!
