day i've-lost-count of hell

yes i'm still alive.
and yes i'm goddamn tired.

a part of me is screaming to just dump it all, yet the more rational part of me knows i just have to see it through. if only i had some support (ie. the Ops team should have been more proactive instead of hiding their head in the sand, and deal with the situation 2 weeks ago). instead everyone ran around wasting each other's time fighting and arguing for days -- no solution in sight.

it's funny how some people come running to me acting all nice to try and get on my side. what they don't know is that i can see right through it.

a word of advice to you-know-who-you-are: just do what's best for the client, the project, its team members, and the business, and everyone will be happy. don't bury your head in emails and paper trails -- life is dynamic, and so is this line of work. the key is being flexible and dynamic along with everyone else.

I'm back...

I don't know who still reads my blog but I really need an outlet right now.

Yes, I'm still in HK.
Yes, it's been AGES since I last posted anything.
Yes, I've been literally way too busy to have a life outside of the studio.

It is CRAZY right now. We have had at least 2 rounds of lay-offs and there is a plan for one more. "HOW is that possible?", you might say when I've been working overtime every single day for the past few weeks? I can give you a variety of reasons, but if you want the REAL reason, you'll have to ping me and I'll give you the lowdown.

I'm overworked.

I'm so overworked and sick of the time that's wasted here that I'm about to do something drastic.

and I'm not joking.

Should I? That's the million dollar question.... It's 7:30pm HK time right now and I will be working until at least midnight. Ping me at that time and I'll tell you if you should come on over to watch me go postal.
