tired

have been a really shag-out month. i think it's no joke that i clocked 28 hours of OT for this month! 8 hours a day, and 28 hours is actually equivalent to, erm, additional 4 more working days? so instead of the usual 20 or 22 working days, i'm working almost up to 26 days a month! wah... really really tired eh. it has come to the extend where i don't even want to step out of my house over the weekends. i only wanted to sleep in....

anyway, my department is undergoing some major restructuring. since my team is considered under Marketing, yes, my team would change abit; mostly on the Directors and Managers though. i'm really grateful that my Boss would still remain. however, i may not be reporting to her directly.

now the thing is, during this transition, i opted to change abit of my job scope. basically whatever i'm doing would still remain, and i didnt take up additional responsibility, but the things i'll be handling would have more challenge.

then again, the whole restructuring may not be very pleasant for at least till mid next year. this is because we're trapped in this scenario:

my new reporting boss is ET and she will be reporting to my current Boss, AL. ET is heavily pregnant with twins and will be going on her maternity leave at the end of June, and will be extending her leave till Dec. so she would only be back onboard Jan next year. my team has initially 4 people, including ET and AL, and only 3 of us would be doing the groundwork. so when ET goes on leave for a wholesome 6 months, her workload would have to be split among another colleague and me.

the best part is, AL is pregnant too!

now she's in her 1st trimester, and due to her weak health, it took her great length to finally get pregnant. so all of us are trying to give her lesser stress. however, when ET is not around, her workload would have to split among me and another colleague named Lee. we're trying to pull another person in to help but she has very little knowledge of the work we're doing. hence, that's where Lee and I would have to handle most of the work on top of our own responsibilities.

and it is about time for ET to be back from her leave, it would be also about time for AL to go on HER maternity leave!

gawd....

with the workload, lack of manpower, i still have 12 more days of leave to clear. how? i don't even know how i'm going to take leave... well, not as if i got any plans yet. but there're no guarantee that i can bring forward my outstandings.

i'm mentality prepared of the new challenge i'm soon to take up. however, ET's maternity leave would make my current job even more challenging. imagine having to juggle someone else's work for the next 6 months, i'm not sure whether i can tahan. and in addition, ET is not participating in any part of the handover coz' she won't be in for the next 6 months. so when she's back next year, we won't handover to her immediately too...

it seems like this whole "ordeal" would only end when AL is back from her maternity leave... and that's most likely in May 2010.

maybe by that time, i'll asked for a pay raise, AND a deserving promotion.




and i didn't managed to clear my last module. i don't know if it's wise for me to enrol next semester, when ET would have gone for her maternaty leave. even though it's only 1 module, but i'm wondering if i should just concentrate on work till things get better....
