Swamped

I AM SWAMPED.

There has been so much to do these few weeks at work with results season being up on us again. Why do companies have to release results on a quarterly basis? An annual release is more than fine by me, thank you very much. All this focus on quarterly earnings distracts from the longer-term nature of investing in fundamentals and just adds a shitload of work for people like me.

Every week I've had to work on 4 or 5 results and there's been late-night calls or early morning calls. Calls past 8pm or before 9am and early morning meetings are just so uncivilised!

GRRR.

I've been so busy that I've hardly gone out to meet friends for lunch these few weeks. Instead of my normal leisurely 2-hour lunch, it's been instant noodles, sushi, Crystal Jade buns or a quick takeaway from the food court. And forget about shopping! I've barely seen the inside of a mall for the last 3 weeks.

Sigh. Ok back to work. Sian sian sian.

Oh and my 5 o'clock shadow is STILL THERE. Double sian. Guess it's just as well that I've been busy; then no one gets to see my freakish hermaphroditic 'tache.
