one hell of a day

today sucked. big time. i was stuck in meetings from 9am to 8:30pm. i didn't even have lunch to myself cos i had a lunch meeting. crap-o-lah.

i was NOT in a good mood by the time 4pm came around. grrr. i didn't get a chance to eat breakfast which the hubby kindly put together for me this morning (pork floss sandwich) cos i had to go straight for a meeting and it dragged till 11:30 when my next meeting started. then i couldn't really eat lunch cos i was over-hungry by then, and the waiter got my client's appetizer wrong so the whole table had to wait till his appetizer came and then we had to wait for all our entrees to be served (which i guess is proper etiquette seeing as how we didn't order starters)... and by then i had already had a half a loaf of bread while waiting (i probably exaggerate). the service at prego's sucks. it's waaaay slow. the food is good, the ambience is nice.. but the service is just atrociously slow. their waitstaff are very polite but man, they're heckuva inefficient!

so i had 3 mouthfuls of my lasagne...and then gave up. had a milo and my sandwich at 4:30pm, was glad that i did cos i was stuck in a meeting till 7pm and then another discussion till 8pm.

i don't think it was so much the hours that bothered me today. it was more that i had to be "on" all day cos i was dealing with clents. i couldn't just space out. the meeting this morning was a little adversarial as well so i was pretty much pooped after the adrenalin required for that. i think i was ready for home at about 2pm!

this whole job change was totally not what i expected. i didn't expect it to be a breeze but i definitely didn't expect the learning curve to be this steep. i feel stupid practically every day. it's a rare day when i feel accomplished..and there's only so long someone can feel this bad for before they break. it doesn't help that i'm hormonal (or am i?).. but yes, this sucks.

i'm going to take a looong hot shower now and then hit the sack, maybe some sleep will make things seem better. class tomorrow. ugh. another long day. groan.
