First Saturday at SNEF

Today is my first Saturday working at SNEF. It's been 9 working days since I started work here & I still enjoy my job. In a way, doing projects is kind-of like 'my type' of work, coz it isn't all routine, neither is it all outdoor. It encompasses a mix of intellect & communication skills. Intellectual, in the sense, that analysis needs to be done of each of the grants & policies put forth by the Tripartite Committee (Tricom), of which, my team is spearheading its implementation efforts.

It was a quiet Saturday, with the air-con making the office much colder than normal, when most of the other colleagues are present at work. I managed to get some planning & research done... so all in all, it was a rather fruitful morning. Now I can fully comprehend why one of the admin & finance staff commented that Saturday is the best time to clear your work, coz most of your customers & colleagues are off for the weekend. But I won't come back to work on Saturday, unless I really need to... coz my Sabbath is very important for me to recharge for the new week ahead.

Not surprisingly, I was one of the last three to leave the office, having worked another half an hour, after the Saturday working hours have ended. Sometimes its difficult to stop work halfway & go off, coz there's always work left to do. I got talk a bit with Pei Qin & Yati, coz we were the last three that were left to close up the office.

Finally... its the weekend! I need a break! I worked for almost 60 hours this week!
