The past few days has been difficult. There has been too many problems surfacing. Too many idiots bungling. Too many issues needing attention. And work has been overwhelming. Had been looking at the latter from the positive angle for weeks now, till a few days back when the junior staff dumped his resignation letter on my table when i wasnt around. Supposedly leaving on the basis of a RM300 increment, that was something which could have easily been met with our productivity incentive had he worked more efficiently. Have had to do site inspection work past 2 days, which am used to. But its a headache to allocate time to do the paperwork. The adverts for job vacancy will come out early next week. One lady had already came today for an interview. She had some experience, but told her honestly i would rather see the response to our advert. We need a wider pool of candidates to chose from. Its time to stop being nice to new staff cos its rarely appreciated. At the end of the day, we just end up being a training ground for others to pinch.

EPL starts on saturday. The fantasy league is very difficult this year. Prices are high, thus choices are a major headache. Not an easy feat to buy 11 players at 100 million dollars. The guys from last season have got together again in a private league. A welcome distraction this will be for the next 8 months.

Have confirmed KL trip end of this month. A 5 or 6 day trip. The family would love it. And i need the distraction and rest. The back is still sore. Have been procastinating and not seen a doctor about it. As a result, have laid off squash now for almost a month. Have started carrying light weights again. Perhaps that has been a bad idea. Must see a doc!

Its almost 1am. Not started on office work yet. Sigh.
