The Fourth Companion

Something is missing

I have a weird feeling lately. Like something is not right. Like something is missing.

Maybe it's just me getting used to my new engines. Afterall, I've been down for awhile. Maybe I just have to rediscover what it means to be me. I'm just a bit rusty, that's all. Maybe it's just me really feeling the weight of the stuff I have on my plate.

The doc is away till mid-June, and he passed the baton only at the last minute. I should have seen it coming, I've worked with him for 3 years afterall. I don't like this, he said he's handling this but in the end he passed it to me. but it's alright, he's busy, and someone has to do it, and i really want this one to go through, so I will have to do it.

The fcp productization at work is finally getting somewhere, but I have to plan so things will fit in nicely with the 'going away' of our core team member. We have to absorb as much as possible from her before she leaves. I have to also divide the workload for my buddy and the 4 new student interns. Thank God for that miraculous little trick that I learned a few days ago, it sure saved some time and puts us in a good position for some real action.

My two flatmates are technically away, so I'm handling the administrative matters with the landlords and the agents. My brother needs me to help him with his student exchange programme. There's the visa application, there's the funds.. I think I might need to get him a credit card with the bill being sent to me.

I haven't been in touch with big brother V for his online resume project. There were 3 of us and we were looking for a fourth member - i think I found one in the nice lady friend that I had dinner with last Tuesday.

I haven't synchronized with Chris in awhile too. With the time I have on my hands right now, i think that other side-project won't grow much. But errgh. I have to make time. Maybe less time watching "Friends" and more time on this *hee hee*.

and I still have my reading assignments too. the team is going to have a discussion tomorrow on a model that we got from Denmark's national healthcare system. I've only read 2 of the 47 pages.

At least I got my exercise routine back on track. I got a tennis appointment with K this Sunday (I've been trying to setup an appointment with him since last month!) .. but I think I need to do this regularly. The lifestyle consultant friend of mine recommends four 45-minute sessions each week.. I guess I have to slot that in somehow.

Then my buddies for the undergraduate education project thingy will be back next week. I still have to work on the portal design and concept, and the sourcing for the hosting service. I have one but i need one that is cheaper. I'll probably do this over the weekend. I have to slot this in between the visit to the bukit timah (seeing that friend of mine who is working at the boarding school), and the tennis appointment I have with K.

Okay, enough rambling about what I have on my plate.. I think I know exactly what's missing... .. hmm...

I'm missing a plan!

I need to sit down and reorganize. I've been too busy taking action that I haven't spent enough time on planning! And i'm overwhelmed up to my neck with these things... and knowing how I usually gravitate towards areas where action is... I'll probably end up having more and more things to do .. (which is bad if I don't sit down and plan on how to get these done)

Alrightey.. so a plan it is! Let's now get to work on that!

So hang in there, and buckle up ladies,

because Joey .....

is back in the driving seat.
