Need I be surprised that my office life needs an overhaul right now?

I have, for the past weeks, been working more than my usual 9 hour shifts. I get a guilty feeling if I leave the office promptly and I even get a guilty feeling just having lunch. I go on projects that are maybe not needed but for the sake of better analyzing reports, I do them anyway. I go on Fridays and extend my time even if it’s 5 hours past log out because somehow I’m needed on the floor.

Then, I go out, and realize there’s nothing to do on weekends because it seemed unnatural that I’m not at work. THEN, come Sunday, I feel burned out because THEN I get to start another week at work.

How stupid is that.

Anyhoo, I got into this another list on my mind, something that I came up with after some trips back to Powerbooks over the week end. I need to have this done just before my birthday:

- Overhaul my site
- Pay for my site AND feel the worth that I’m paying for
- Start blogging again
- Start applying for an internet connection at the unit to start cutting the trips to the internet shop downstairs.
- Go on another date with my mum
- Go on another date with my mum AND dad
- Drive again
- Buy Haruki Murakami’s The Elephant Vanishes. Powerbooks Greenbelt ran out of stock
- Finish Nica’s Kite Runner and Blink
- Finish Len’s Sputnik Sweetheart
- Buy another David Sedaris book
- Go on one straight week logging out early. That means just one hour adjustment after work. (Done. Ger preassured me into this. Hehe)
- Stop thinking about unnecessary things.
- Stop thinking about PSP.
- Scout for Ger’s new phone
- Go on extra curricular activities again. That doesn’t mean drinking beer.
- Meet beloved friends.
- Meet beloved friends sober.
- MEET TINA – HIGH PRIORITY ON THE LIST
- Meet Tina and bash her d(eee)vil pc on the wall because it makes her cute and look less sarcastic.
- Take up tennis This is godfrigging ridiculous I don’t have time
- Clean up Ichijiteki Doki, restart, update, and load more programs and games
- Blog hop
- Read email (this is seriously pathetic)

Two years ago, I did the same list which included Mountain climbing, reading more books, kicking some stupid-looking co-worker. I was able to do all three without breaking a sweat. Now I’m challenging myself by listing down unachievable goals.
(god, this is stupid)
