always no choice.


I have been away for four days, and I haven’t seen everybody. All big sister’s here are out. They’re on a date maybe.

Last January 1, we have a very urgent call from our big boss. Americans are like that. Sometimes they won’t care even if holidays aren’t over or you’re on a date. If they want you to work you will work even if you don’t want too.

No choice here. Alwayz.

Know what we did?
I tell you, you will never like it.
Our team never sleeps for forty eight hours and during those times what we did is …listening. Listen and listening.

And after that we move from another hotel and know what we did… we listen again.

To tell you honestly I don’t understand everything we’ve talked about. Half of it -- a three and quartz. It never goes in to my mind. My brain is not cooperating. I think it’s full. That it doesn’t want to accept any information until its gets a new way out. Maybe it still full of the holiday’s hangover.

I lost my disk. I don’t know where I put it. Maybe it slipped from my pockets. Or I put it somewhere. Good thing is I have a back-up on my phone. And I will try to understand one by one later. Everything is a rush. Without further noticed we are bound to midtown again on new years day.

And then today back here I got a memo and directing me to transfer from my old down to a new place up and requesting for an inventory of everything. And it is due not latter than Sunday and that is tomorrow. I wanna scream! Somebody in that office thinks we are robots. Okay we can work under pressure, 10 thousand feet above sea level or even if we don’t have sleep and food but god you wanted to kill our team. Inventory of everything? You mean the whole? Chips, bytes, wires, connectors, network, dbase, like that? Are you kidding? That is a very awful joke!

How I wish we are rich and I am not working but I have no choice I need to work. Imagine your life here. Surrounded by thousand of computers and electronic devices. The temperature, the place, everybody. And your boyfriend is off to Alberta tonight? And you haven’t seen him for quite long because you both need to work. And you have an inventory of everything for less than twenty four hours. You really are promising! Good thing is you are on a triple pay and you can have your coffee of any flavors for free.

Off to work! deep breathe…count…cross your fingers 1, 2, 3 goodluck!
