Buried

You know what they say, it never rains but it pours.

Work was super slow paced till yesterday despite having our usual killer 2-hour meeting on Monday to thrash out the progress and approach to the 2 ongoing projects. Everything was either held up here or there so most of the time I'm sitting in front of the PC dozing off, hoping that no one'll notice. And then there was today, when suddenly all the responses to the queries start coming back and the workload just exploded.

Imagine juggling 2 projects simultaneously with overlapping scope, and you have to go through Point A.1 A.2 A.3 A.4 A.5 A.6 and so on before reaching Point B from Point A for pretty much every testing. By lunchtime my desk is already stacked high up with files and I'm totally buried by this avalanche. TGIF? I don't think so...

Miraculously though I managed to convince my manager and myself that we are on track to meet the deadline. That explains why no OT so far. Next week will be the crucial week, if we can't churn out the reports on time..hahaha, I don't even wanna think about it.

Anyway just staying awake for the Man Utd match later. Berbatov Berbatov, will he or won't he?

Speaking of Spurs, I caught the Spurs vs Sunderland match last week and I thought Sunderland looked pretty good. Granted Spurs were on the offensive for most of the match but Sunderland managed to hit them where and when it hurts most. Looking at Sunderland's squad, Keano actually put together a decent, albeit expensively-assembled, side on paper with a few 'big' names. It's still early days to judge how they will do and they've only gotten their first win, but I'm starting to take an interest in following Sunderland's season apart from Man Utd. Afterall, they've got my former 'fav' Kieran Richardson who absolutely sucks whenever he pulls on a Man Utd jersey but generally excels everywhere else (think West Brom). It could be the way they made Liverfools look distinctly mediocre in their opening match, or the fact that they upset the stubborn Spurs who refuse to let go of Berbatov. Anyhow, hope the Black Cats will win all their home games except the one against Man Utd and put in a good show this season.

The Comex IT show is here again.. Ipod, should I or shouldn't I?
