I demanded an apology from someone yesterday, someone I had not directly confronted for a good 10 years or so.

"We need to recreate this the next round. Remind me to have vegetarian beehoon for breakfast the next time we have a trial."

To Trainee J: "You are not allowed to quit! We've been doing unbelievably well since you arrived!"

I really need to let meetings that make me feel small and insignificant slide.

It hit me so bad that I started wondering whether I had PMS (I don't) and I took so long to get back into a normal frame of mind so that I can continue working that I am now behind in work again.

Ugh. This is frustrating as hell.

This morning –

"Now that my table is clean, I don't have mood to work coz I think it's all done. I need to find the optimum number of stacks on my desk such that I don't feel stressed out but compelled to work."
