drowning

That, in a word, describes how I am feeling right now.
I'm back from Singapore, and it was like I was never there. Seriously! I only saw the city for maybe a total of 7 hours. I was there for 8 days, 6 of which I spent working myself to the bone, and I feel that I worked the equivalent of 12 days. I don't recall ever having worked so hard in my entire career. Our days started at 9am, and at best, we'd end at midnight. One time we ended at 2am. Another time, we ended at 1am. Maannn, that was tough! Lunch was always brought in, which meant that we literally locked ourselves in and worked right through lunch. Dinner was whenever the thought of eating would actually enter our frazzled minds. On our first day at work there, our dinner was at midnight. I'm telling you, I lost even more brain cells when I was in Singapore. I'm talking millions here.
But, being the optimist that I am, there were great things I took home from that trip. I learned SO MUCH from our regional training director, and looking at what we've accomplished in the 6 days we worked, I can just burst with pride. It was an amazing experience, and given the chance to do it again, I am quite sure that my answer would be yes.
There's so much I want to say about my Singapore trip, but there is just too much to do. Work has piled up, and on top of that are my deliverables from this regional project. Then there are my scrapping stuff that I have to do. I managed to finish my RAKScraps mega kit contribution for March, so at least that's one thing off my hands. But I have two new kits from Robin that I must get working on, plus one for Tania, plus two more for Lynnie. And I have to start posting in the forums over at RAKScraps too, which I totally missed doing while I away!
*sigh*
I am drowning. And I don't even know how to swim. LOL!!!

wow you're back. i was drowning also just by reading this, i was in a rush hahahaha. but you still managed to pull the humor, galeng. welcome back tin!
Welcome back!!! Sorry you had to work so many long and hard hours, but I'm glad it was worth it!! Can't wait to see you contribution for the mega kit!!
I think life has decided to slap a lot of us along side the head recently and say 'there is more than digiscrapping to do' of course we protest, but those other things we have to attend to keep intruding.... a lot of us have been feeling that way recently. Don't know what it is and can't say I like it much...
I second Melinda, and I'm drowning a bit too. Take your time to get back into things, and know we missed you dearly!!
