Intensity Rising
Very quickly, another day has passed.
Work was rather intense today, getting ready behind the scene the upcoming TP Band concert. Searching for supplier to provide food for the band is really a tedious thing to do because we have to get the best deal. Using tax-payers' money mah, need to justify like crazy.
Strangely though, sometimes I find such processes quite therapeutic, albeit the long, and sometimes redundant process. Maybe I've been brain-washed, but I really believe there is a place for such guidelines to ensure we are good stewards of the resources entrusted to the officers. The most difficult part is expressing my own, sometimes half-convinced, rationale to the generation I deal with that manages obstacles with a quick-fix mentality.
Sometimes I feel sandwiched in between and juggle to keep my sanity that's threatened by managing expectations from on top and below. A lot of brain work there. Yet, it is during such episodes where I feel things taking shape and becoming more defined.
Perhaps this is a reflection of a need for certainty.
Time to unwind...
