...weird days...

usually i get pressure at work to finish my jobs/assignments online, going OT for several hours, even, to try to get things done on time. but now i have to somewhat wonder at whether my assignment schedule is for real. i am always a little behind schedule according to my assignment schedule but yesterday, i got to finish a series of assignments 2 days late and found my superior at a lost on what to assign me next with.

i always thought that the assignment schedule is unrealistic for the purpose of applying pressure to editors and the production team, and his incident proves my theory. She had to scramble to find something to do, i even volunteered to add a section to the assignments i just finished. She made a call to the production team and told me that there would be something coming back tomorrow.

It's a bit strange that for over several weeks I had been really pressured (or just the feeling of) and all of a sudden i have like nothing to do (at least for a few hours).

So for the earlier part of this morning, i was just browsing the net leisurely while looking for sites for extended reading. (This keyboard by Lenovo is fantastic btw).

But then at almost noon, my superior dropped a pile of paper for me to organize into a presentable brief on an up-coming project we are doing... life of an editor.

and now i have 3 assignments piled up on my desk.

can you imagine that only about an hour ago i was thinking today was my lucky day...
