Gone are the days

I miss the old office life. The previous years were like the kindergarten of schooling. It was like the dermatology department of SGH if you've seen Grey's Anatomy season 5 (episode 4). Back then a group is composed only of 20+ engineers, a batch of new hardware engineers could treat all HW groups to a meryenda, there's no hassle in delivering your work products to the customer, and I could win prizes from my favorite radio program in the afternoon!

**** !@#$%^&*()_+ ****

I should've been at the Caramoan Peninsula right now for my very first and much needed R&R this summer. Sadly, I had to cancel an October 2008-booked flight a week before the scheduled trip. I felt there was too much apprehension with my project task's delay and preparations for the trip that I started feeling chronic abdominal pains for almost a week. One colleague described it as an IBS and its article said that it may begin after an infection or a stressful life event. I blamed the latter and, true enough, after getting rid of the Caramoan-CWC getaway and resigning myself to programming work on Friday & Monday, the IBS has subsided.

Gone are the days... tsk, tsk...
