Its been more than a month. I rarely come online nowadays, and even when I do, its only for brief moments. The same story. Work has been overwhelming. Everyone at office has been stretched to the limit. Long hours. It should be a good year.

BOD meets tomorrow. Wonder whats gonna happen.

Yet another new staff resigns. This one does it the day after he is told off for acting in a manner not befitting a person of his position. Playing truant never gets into my good books. Had sort of expected him to tender his resignation. But didnt expect him to just drop everything at his table and walk off. Sigh. Difficult to find decent responsible around. At least the last guy who left made sure all his work was completed before he left.

On the home front, the younger one was 1 year old last week. How time flies :) Theyre both so wonderful to be with. Both almost similar in character. I guess most kids are like that. Have their photos here at office. Comforting and soothing for tired eyes. Though busy with work, have been trying hard to make sure i spend lots of time at home with family. Its so relaxing at times.

Been out twice for breaking of fast with different sets of clients. Met up with a few bankers for tea earlier. So many young ones nowadays.

Its going to be double the usual madness next 2 days as we try to clear as much work as possible by Saturday. Most staff are off for almost the entire of next week. Am not planning to travel anywhere for the holidays. I guess part of the holidays would be spent at the office. Work has to be completed. Deadlines met. Keep reminding myself that lots of work, is better than no work. Keep reminding the staff that too.

Fantasy golf season is over. Made it into the top 1000. Out of 300,000 plus teams i guess. Not bad for a non-golfer. English premier league fantasy football has been on for a few months. Quiet still there. Still behind Pret, but ahead of sic, noh and the rest.

At times the mind does wonder and think of the past. The countless hours wasted on some. Should have been a rolling stone, and not gather any moss. Time and work have been wonderful in erasing most memories. There's still a bit of bitterness. There must always be that. A perfect deterrent. Wont waste my time in future.

All this long hours has practically stopped attempts to download music and build up a collection of songs from the pre-90 days. There just hasnt been much free time.

Time to get off. So much more to be done before i head home.
