not Sunday

I am currently sitting on the dining table with my laptop, a notebook, pen, and a bottle of water. I am all set to work at home…on a Sunday morning. An hour has already passed without me getting any work done. (Although I discovered a nice little blog which I now added to my growing list of blogs I love to lurk, haha).

Why am I working, you might ask. Because there’s a lot of work to be done and our working hours last Friday was cut short with an impromptu team building activity and an hour-long pep talk from the IT big boss. Add to that that all us from the team could not come to work yesterday since our workstations were being transferred from an oven masquerading as an office to a, well, better working area. All in all about 10 manhours were taken from me. Sigh.

It’s nearing 11am and I have yet to start opening up the test scripts and use cases I intend to review. Seriously.

new chapter

Yesterday I decided to:
1) Give my old laptop to my brother
2) Buy a new laptop
3) Give my iPod to my dad

It feels like starting a new chapter of my life.

Tomorrow I will commute to work without my usual playlists in hand. I don’t know if I should re-create them as how I remember them...or if I should create new ones. Hmm.
These are just superficial things, but there are actually bigger things changing in my life right now. Like my youngest brother leaving home to work in UK. A friend leaving. My work starting crunch time. And then maybe, me. Changing yet again.

I guess this calls for a new soundtrack.
