stressful

define: stressful

a concert/office event where i'm even stressed to try to have fun.
a supposedly surprise bridal shower whose date was moved three times before it was finally set, not to mention menu changes, tip-toeing and managing egos.
juggling a teambuilding event, a newsletter release and other regular stuff.
an upcoming family party, flying to davao and the million and one things that i need to do, buy, see relatives in manila- check attendance! and oh, a dozen more memorable, quotable quotes served up by the Mother Superior.
a super-delayed incoming check deposit .

just finding out that instead of being able to go to a friend's wedding, i need to be with a group of stodgy old men for strategic planning sessions- i.e. the big bosses.
oh the nerdy me is über-thrilled at the prospect of being with them, getting to be in the thick of business things, getting to be in the know, plus, it's a good career move- why exactly, i forget. but couldn't it have come at a worst time? and as yet, i don't know exactly where i placed my inner work-mojo so it's all so bleah and crummy. hay.
anyways.
i've already told my friends i can't go, gotta swallow that big lump of disappointment and get on with it.

gawd, when all i need is big hug. kaya ko ito. shyet.
