First thing I do is sort through email that I received during my rest days. This can take a while since a lot of those dreaded email are To Dos or updates for immediate cascade. Apart from my daily tasks as a Team Lead, Friday night until Saturday morning is spent collecting weekly and month to date scores to be presented in our weekly shift meeting. The meeting is always at 5:00AM, Saturday.
My shift is from 10:30PM to 7:30AM. I logged out at around 10:15AM today. It’s not unusual for me to stick around after all my team members have gone off. After the long shift meeting, I have to be back at my workstation to complete all the deliverables I wasn’t able to work on because of the prep for the meeting, and the actual meeting.
I just have to mention that I was in the office since around 6:45PM last night. I’m no saint. I didn’t start working when I got to the office. Normally, I would be at home reading, typing, playing QuadraPop or WTA Tour on my Sony Ericsson mobile phone, just doing anything that will tire my eyes until I fall asleep. But last night was a special case. Denver emailed me late afternoon, pissed at the whole world. My wifely instincts urged me to get up and come to his rescue.
As promised, I was there before his lunch hour. I surprised him with his favorite chocolate mousse and got us both Jollibee Value Meals. It may not seem much but I know I was able to give him some comfort in one of the worst days in his career.I wasn’t able to get a minute’s sleep, I reprimanded the Jollibee food attendant for giving me chicken breast, I had nothing to eat in my own lunch hour, my team must absolutely think I am worthless, I am exhausted and starving right now, but I say it was all worth it. In my husband’s dilemma, I found a good opportunity for us to connect. Stars for me! He always complains about me being mostly apathetic when he has issues.
I am so whacked, but I’m just so happy to cheer him up.
