Thanks for the good reminder

Would like to thank my colleague for the good reminder.

I was exasperate. Had been spending the whole day doing a poster! I started with the poster yesterday evening in the office. Did some thinking later at home and implement it in the office this morning. I was only expecting to spend two hours to work on the poster. However, two hours became four, then the whole working day. I was grumbling to myself (ok and off and on letting my colleague know that I am unhappy) while working on it. The grumbling came in the afternoon when I cannot finish the work in the expected time.

I was hoping to use the afternoon to do some other research work. The feeling at the end of the day was, I did not accomplished  my plan. The poster would not be send to the other company today as promised due to time reason. Anyway, no one would be in the office to review my work after 5:30, so makes no difference to send it on Monday. The whole thing was I wanted to use my afternoon time for something else and I did not manage to do it. The work that I need to do and send out in the afternoon was being done in a way that I am not really satisfied with. The other project work that I put on hold yesterday and today due to the poster is still on hold! 

My colleague told me, "Stop grumbling. Sometime we have to do some s***** work that we do not like. You work your hours and get full pay. So what to grumble? Btw, did you work your full hours this week?" I answered, "Nope, I did not because I believe I worked more than my full hours this week." Grrr.....I did not realise the grumbling that seems ok to me was irratating her. Whoopss.... 

I will remind myself to express my exasperation less :P and to enjoy my work more even though I do not really like the task. Anyhow, it is now weekend and I am not going to work this weekend. So I will say goodbye now and enjoy my weekend.

Thanks for the reminder :D
