Fast and Furious 2

It all started when my client's project manager announced on Tuesday evening that the project would be delayed by a month. This was a huge stress reliever for me as I had been hardly catching any sleep to work on this project with an unrealistic time-line. So on Wednesday morning, I called 2 of my partners and got clearance from them to go on a one week vacation. It was totally unbelievable as I didn't think they would approve. Ok, I promised to do a couple of conference calls... And so I booked my tickets. On Thursday, I was booking everything else, from hotel to cars to helicopter. Basically, I had no mood for work anymore.

Then Friday afternoon, I had major cramps. It was so bad I almost fainted in my client's place. I was breaking out in cold sweat and I didn't want to tell anyone. After 45 minutes of struggling to survive in the toilet on my own, I could see colours again. Quickly went back to the room, packed up, told my team I had to go and went home to recuperate. After telling Karen briefly about it so as to explain why I couldn't go for massage, she announced it to the selected group (to my horror). By 7.30pm, karen, rachel, carol and julynn came over to my place with food. Apparently, julynn cooked me porridge which got me quite touched. By 10pm, I was feeling much better and started packing my luggage. Then I had to work. Karen didn't allow me to go back to office so I worked from home till 2am. Now, I had 4 hours of sleep before I catch my flight. Yes, I AM going on a holiday!

Before I know it, I'm already here... in LA!! Tomorrow, we'll be flying over to las vegas and then finally see grand canyon. It's like my dream come true since I don't remember when. I've seen it all over national geographic, i've seen it in imax, it's about time i see it for myself! I'm so so so excited!!!! What I need to do now is to adjust to the 15-hour time difference. Sleep... is what I need right now.
