Swarmed, Minus The Bees

I was a part of that.

These activities merely make up a fraction of the activities I was involved with over the past month at work. It's been exhausting, to say the very least. Besides the 3 activities mentioned above, I was also involved with other community-based events held in several constituencies, Fire Safety Days and Work Safety Days; all that, on top of the CEPP lessons my team members and I have to carry out, both in and outside of camp.

Oh, and speaking of lessons, my department has just completed a 4-day training course for the entire sec 2 level of Dunman High School. It was extremely tiring, having to teach so many students at a time, and also having to discipline them.

Now that most of it's over, I find myself swarmed with administrative work. Swarmed, I tell you!

I've just completed the CEPP monthly report, which then leaves me with the Department Monthly Report, the Public Service 21 report, and the Quality Service Initiatives report! On top of that, I've also got tons of data entry to do, and also an archiving assignment to complete.

Oh and if that's not enough, I now have to write the script for the next Emergency Preparedness Day, which I've got to submit today!

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Oh oh oh, guess what? If all that work's not enough to already make me scream, I've also gotta work over the weekend at 2 community-based activities; and later on in the afternoon, I'll be heading down to Jurong Island to conduct lessons on First Aid, CPR and Fire Fighting to the staff of ExxonMobil, which is expected to go on till 10 in the evening.

I'm really happy being where I am today for I've got good superiors and (pretty) good colleagues, of which more than half are quite dependable; but the workload, especially the paperwork, is really something that's making me real crazy (and temperamental) at the moment.

Here's a piece of info before I end off - The last time I was on off was on the 16th, and the next would only be on the 3rd of next month - In other words, that's working back-to-back for 16 days straight, leaving very little time for the other areas of commitment in my life.

With a work schedule like this, it's no wonder my love life's non-existent! Urgh!
